On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


I found myself with some extra free-time not too long ago and I thought it would be a real hoot to become a Chess Grandmaster. This thread's for us to share tips and tricks on how to crush our opponents.

Found a pretty tough chess puzzle yesterday, I'm still working on. White to move.

The white queens, lacking a king's pheromone control, quickly become disorganized and start fighting amongst themselves as the black king watches the carnage. Sooner or later, the surviving queen changes color and pledges herself to the king as it cannot survive outside of a viable colony.

Looking to spice up my game by winning without any of that Checkmate stuff. Figure it'll keep my opponent on their toes

What I like to do is move my pieces so that the other player's King can't avoid being captured.

Big problem with this is you ending getting a queen captured which means you don't really have any choice but to resign, I think
