Idk anything about chess strategy but I don’t see why saying your race is relevant to this

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"What should I do (I'm white)" Literally shut up, nobody asked which race you are, in my eyes it's irrelevant. The fact that race influences chess so much is a symptom of inherent systemic racism in the world.

I totally agree even though I'm white myself

Ignore their reasonable critiques of your recent royal decisions and instead insist that you aren't backing down, even if the pawns are setting the chess board on fire and leaving the game. Start praising other kings to make yourself look good b by association.

I accused them of blackmail, called them 'noise' and 'landed gentry' and most of them came back. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Spez, my advice is to hold off for a while on that IPO.

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok, but I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money.

Saved your comment, pure gold.

[–] kronicmage@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

Pay some pawns money or other incentives to stay in place and not move forward. Then you can easily take care of the smaller portion of pawns that do get ahead. Plus you also sow discord among the pawns and divide them between sellouts and otherwise

-Promote bishop to king

-Send him to pawns

-Say that everything is his fault

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just hire some "counter-intelligence" chess-pieces to destroy their movement from the inside!

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hired some guy but he seems to be organising the revolution into a unified communist state and industrialising instead?

Import white pawns across from the other tables, arm them with shields and force move black pawns out on the north side.

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now the new ~~slaves~~ pawns are also revolting, what now?

[–] phthalocyanin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

offer some pawns a position of priveledge in return for enforcing your hegemony by inflicting violence on other pawns.

[–] Anwarias@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You mean, offer them a promotion?

[–] phthalocyanin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

promoted to cop/landlord

[–] nowitslikemagic@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I genuinely wonder if it's winnable for white.

[–] lrabbt@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the only victory condition in chess is to have the opponent's king checked, so I don't think white can win, unless black surrenders

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

If they have no king , you must kill all their pieces

[–] odium@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

Tell them the pawns on row 8 are the cause of all their problems.

[–] nf3xn@mastodon.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

@itszednotzee castle left, create a corridor to back rank for one rook via the a file.

Kill them all.

[–] logi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Then see if you can kill all the pawns before you're suddenly facing 6 queen's.

How does en passant work here?
