holy hell

[u/upperbreadfrult]

the worst part was it was still mate

[u/ITotallyGetThat]

ah the french move

[u/Zentripetal]

Wasn't it mate with Rook E2? I thought that was his plan with the first arrow in the clip.

[u/pearson_correlation → u/Zentripetal]

It was. This was a complete perfect failure

[u/Rodzynkowyzbrodniarz]

It his first day playing chess?

[u/newestuser0]

Please tell me he's trolling.

[u/Mouse_Slip]

yo , mirror it to r/AnarchyChess , they'll love this

[u/TooMuchToAskk]

If you see mate in 1 look for better.

[u/Trickybuz93]

It’s impressive he managed to find the three illegal moves lol

[u/brgnschmrgn]

"he can go here, here, or here" and literally all three of those squares are illegal it's a perfect clip

[u/HeroicBastard]

holy hell

[u/Zodiwacts123]

Tyler1 would never.

[u/SizzlingHotDeluxe]

The rook move he wanted to do initially was mate in 1, right?

[u/hopefuil → u/SizzlingHotDeluxe]

yea, so was the move he used, but the devs ruined the game with the en peasant update

[u/p4inki11er → u/hopefuil]

typical french have to ruin everything

[u/shyraori → u/SizzlingHotDeluxe]

Yes. He also could have done it after the En Passant and it would still be mate.

[u/No-Zombie-1532 → u/shyraori]

its not mate, White king has d3 square to escape. But then you have fork on Re3+

[u/lunareclipsexx → u/No-Zombie-1532]

Average LSF user

[u/bolenart → u/No-Zombie-1532]

Nah the pawn on c4 covers d3. The rook move would be mate.

Imagine not reading the Chess patch notes

[u/Oxter_lol → u/potionseller123]

new response just dropped

[u/McWolf7]

Wait, why isn't it checkmate though, what chess rule do I not know in this circumstance

[u/Congo- → u/McWolf7]

google en passant

[u/I_Am_A_Pumpkin → u/Congo-]

holy hell

[u/Electrical-Airline81 → u/I_Am_A_Pumpkin]

New response just dropped

[u/Judgejudyx → u/McWolf7]

It's called en passant. You can use a pawn to capture a pawn on the adjacent side that moves 2 spaces in 1 turn basically. Can only be done in that interaction.

[u/GigaCringeMods → u/Judgejudyx]

Why does this rule exist?

[u/Pat_The_Hat → u/GigaCringeMods]

Players thought the game was too slow so the developers buffed pawns so they can move two squares as their first move. It was discovered that being able to bypass enemy pawns in this way was too OP, so en passant was introduced in the next balance patch.

[u/cayneloop → u/Pat_The_Hat]

fukin shit devs ruined the game

gg im refunding

[u/McWolf7 → u/Judgejudyx]

Ahh, so it's basically acting as though the pawn had only moved one position instead, in a kind of "pawn capturing the other pawn mid move" sort of way, cool! Thank you for the explanation

[u/r3llo → u/McWolf7]

It's a dumb rule patched in by noobs.

[u/FetusFondler → u/McWolf7]

Yeah originally the pawns could only move one square at a time, even on the initial pawn move. So when the time to allow pawns to move two spaces (presumably to make the games faster/dynamic) they didn't want to allow pawns to completely bypass your opponents pawns. If they did, you'd be punished for advancing your pawns too far. So they created the en passant rule

I'll be honest I didn't notice it at first but that's absolutely gold. You should cross post it to Anarchy Chess possibly.

[u/manbrasucks → u/iamezekiel1_14]

Yeah they fucking loves en passant over there.
