Thanks I was completely bumfuzzled.
Given those positions?
I'd move;
QRP X QKNP then use one passed pawn as a decoy to promote the other one.
What would you do?

Weeze

Damn. Don't understand the question.

You mean, if you stay light pieces you'd do that move?

And "passed pawn" probably means something, too. You mean one that gets past the opponent's front line? Passed by whom?

"Promote" means to get it to the back row and officially up a piece in rank, ya? Not jes' general helpin' along / blocking for a piece?


That's a reasonable move for light (guess you call that red). The translated instructions with my $3 set refer to "light and dark" instead of white and black. No wanna be culturally insensitive and send pawn runnin' home cryin'. :sadcrying

See ya commented on my fashion post. See why I needed a new look for awhile?

Yes

By other pawns.
As long as 2 pawns are head to head, promotion is not possible.
That's what the little flurry in the beginning was.

Had to lure your pawns away to be able push mine through.
If white captures with the pawn instead of the knight, white will have 2 passed pawns
Those 2 passed pawns could be the most important pieces on the board right now.

"Promote" means to get it to the back row and officially up a piece in rank, ya? Not jes' general helpin' along / blocking for a piece?

Zachary. when a pawn reaches the 8th rank you can trade it for any piece but a king.
Most folks promote to a queen, but that is not always the wisest choice.

Puck him! He no can take a joke.:rastasmoke:

Marvelous look!, But it's so, "last week" now, n'est pas?.:4:


Where did you find my yearbook photo for dat udder post?
Soon as I graduated, I had to shave my head to do da Geico commercials.


O. K. I made part of that up. But, which part?

Aloha,

So there

[DreadedHermie]

I was hopin' you'd take the bait and move yer dang knight outta my rook's path so I could sneak up behind your pawns. Of course, while I'm doing this you're setting up checkmate....:wtf:

Those 2 passed pawns could be the most important pieces on the board right now.

I was not aware of this rule in chess because I think I was 6 or 7 when I was shown the game, probably by my uncle who would have been 12 or so. I did know about "KING ME!" in checkers, though. Also didn't know about en passant capture. The ability to promote pawns changes the entire strategy of the game.

P - QR5.

Most folks promote to a queen, but that is not always the wisest choice.

Unless you need another knight, I guess? A queen functionally replaces either of the other options.

Hey, I answered ya and moved. Hit submit, post went away. Still online though (I think) so let's try again:

P- QR5.

Also started a coco grow log of sorts. Despite its shortcomings I still feel more at home on this site.

Hey, my post is back! yay!

Seems to go all sparrow at page breaks.
Did not get e-notified that you had posted, either.

No choice but QKNP X QRP
