The king is not weak. In 100% of games it's the last piece to fall.

Statistically the pawn to the rightmost of the white king also survives in some 70%, while the queen only has about 49% chance of survival to the end.

The knights and the pawn in front of the queen are the first to go.

I see we haven't been matched yet. I will quit in any of these cases (I call these legal cheats, because frankly it shouldn't be allowed):

  • castling, obviously
  • en passant, obviously
  • promotion, obviously
  • horsey jumping in front of the pawns as first move (wtf)
  • pawns moving 2 squares (op)
  • bishop taking my rook (unfair, I didn't mean that last move)
  • me having the black (imba)

IIRC the reason the queen is such a powerful piece is because the original piece was called something like "The Commander" or "The Champion", and the idea of that being a separate person from the King didn't make sense once the game reached Europe amid the chivalric code and specific rules about how lords and monarchs are to be handled on the battlefield.

Have you tried playing Pot of Greed? It allows you to draw two additional cards from your deck!

As a white you can do the Karen move and ask to see the manager, now!

Sitting in front of a mirror like this will get you banned from any chess competition. Ask me how I know.

Would've seen it coming if you sat in front of a mirror.

madcaesar , in Hands down the REAL reason lichess.org is better than chess.com. An opinion piece

Lack of multi pre move makes lichess much worse
