  • Fun fact: at the very beginning of the evolution of the game, there was only one move - en passant. And the game was called ‘en passant game’. ‘En passant’ comes from the old phoenician ‘heēn pąšhãnn’ meaning approximately ‘en passant’.

    The players would take turns doing en passant moves until ultimately no further move could be done, at which point the loser would be eviscerated and his entrails offered in sacrifice to Ba’al. Then everybody would discuss how the loser’s opening sucked and how many blunders he did.



  • Wow very aggressive comments (left leaning) in here!

    Everybody is thinking about the workers, but did anyone stop and think about the shareholders for a minute? Do you know the calorific power of a $1 bill, compared to a $100 bill? Well, it’s actually the same because they have the same size and composition. But the emotional heat they produce is not the same at all. You have to burn a very large amount of $1 bills to warm our hearts. And it’s a lot of work. For our servants anyway. Increase the wages, and you reduce the number of large denomination bills we can burn in our marble chimneys. That literally makes us sad.

    Think about it. By increasing the workers wage, what you really do is pile up more misery on the shareholders.

    Please 🙏 🥺 we need this. Well not really but hey

    If the board is infinite, it means that bishops, queens and rooks can move an infinite distance and then must move at an infinite speed, constantly breaking the laws of physics. While knights, pawns and kings, having finite moves, travel at regular speeds.

    The potential high energy collision during a castling would flatten the galaxy.

    Promotion from a low energy pawn to a high energy queen would require the consumption of a black hole (approx.)
