oh

I missed the daily atomic

by like 4 hours

I should be better at time

Aaaah!

Liches times out within a rated and timed atomic game... :(

:O

too bad

it timed out during a bongcloud

Hiya @Quill!

Hello?

Welcome aboard! Do you play chess?

Huh?

Well, you're in a room where people play chess sometimes.

Yes, but, I've never been here before and I thought pinging was for people who've been in rooms

and yeah, occasionally, I guess

Oh.

You have time for a game?

Sure, why not

Here: lichess.org/D028i6Z2

Well, thanks for the game.

:-)

I did horribly, but no worries, it was fun

I'm back for another few games btw. ;)

Awesome!

Not for too long unfortunately... Maybe 15-30 minutes or so at the moment.

I'm back! On my Surface at destination. WiFi is mediocre.

lichess.org/training/16788 tricky KNB vs K! I solved it though ^^

I WON WITH ONLY MOVING MY KING 50+% of the time against a 1900 player!!! lichess.org/RPXzipf8K8Al

Oh no!

@ProgramFOX:

there's more of that missing localization

And I can't find the source

@Unihedron Wow. xD You have time at the moment?

Or not. Better later or even tomorrow...

@ByteCommander sorry, I was concentrating so deep into digging the codebase for reasoning the bug

@Unihedron whoops I totally just fell into my own trap :P

I should use the "Notes" feature or whatever it is.

lol

lol we both also missed that for a while

Nah, I didn't want to take

I am experiencing problems :(

Woot

I traded queens, won a pawn (and an important one at it, too), and now have an active rook

... aaand now that knight is still stuck anyway.

You really thought the pin was necessary? I just had her there to control the B pawn. xD

/me has nothing better to do

Thank god for move confirmation, otherwise my rook would had been toasted.

lol

Thanks for the free knight!

oh oops

-_-

That makes two knights I accidentally lost for no reason this game... :P

Hey, at least you didn't play the bongcloud opening.

:D

Then again it's not like you had the opportunity to castle

I'll have that knight back :P

I don't mind exchanging a knight for that stupid pawn in the way I've been eyeing over for ten rounds.

It's the endgame, so.

Think I'm just going to give up all hope on that A pawn, too...

And now my bishop can't move because it's already busy preventing Rb8.

Your bishop is pinned to the H2-B8 diagonal.

My dark squares are pretty strong so there's no point breaking the pin.

ok now I can answer Ra8 with Kf7

But since I'm leading in material advantage I'll just trade rooks and keep the initiative to launch the B pawn anyway.

Yes that B pawn is going to become an issue very soon...

It's already one because it's a passed pawn. And we're at the endgame, which is why passed pawns matters. :P

actually might as well do that now because Rxe6+

Hmm what to take it with...

If I take it with the pawn, the pawn is doomed. If I take it with the bishop, the pawn is stuck. So I guess it doesn't really matter :P

Well, I did that to reduce pawn clutter so my other pawn protected by the king has a chance to be promoted at the end.

If, you know, it works out for me. :P

Not sure if I should take this opportunity to move the king up :P

Not a bad idea to me, get your king active in the endgame :P

Though watch out for discovered check along the 6th rank.

34. g4#

... oh

Go ahead :P

Good game!

gg :p

Almost messed up a training puzzle because I was still in atomic mode and I almost tried to blow up the king...

.....

lol, chesscademy is funny

If you haven't seen enough of my screenshots in the Whining Room to know, here's another:

@Unihedron Option A. Obviously.

...

this is just wrong, u+1. b3 Qc2#

It's not a mate in one, it's a mate in two

How does this site even get recommended?!

:D

My computer can't connect to Lichess.

And sorry, I've been busy with a pet duck lately.

I like the Unihedron... option in the poll.
