Ahoy mate

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard Here’s your homework: youtu.be/hRLLrlOpx9c?si=idOYXNRF9Y7JW9d4

@ElementsInSpace scraping the URL

(removed)

@ElementsInSpace What should I do with this? Find your real name in the comments? :P

Or find a tiger there?

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard Listen to the entire audiobook, or borrow a hard copy from the library.

hmm

Before I said it was one of my favourites, but on reflection nothing else comes near to it.

@ElementsInSpace eh, I read a bit about the author, it was like jumping into a rabbit hole.

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Indeed!

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda rofl!!

Good joke.

not really a joke, e.g. I was always sure the author if female, but turns out it's a man, and he had interesting life, and was one of those super smart people.

And as almost always, some shady aspects, that some love to dig in even over hundred years...

@ElementsInSpace zzz

You free?

Ahoy ahoy, check!

Another game? sure.

lol

lichess.org/DjCVhAg3

Be the first!

You know what is Atomic?

Oh, gosh Atomic. I don’t have much experience with it.

lol

Huh?

lichess.org/C24S3Qq2

@ElementsInSpace you can't make a move which blews your own king.

This time not mate lol.

Thank goodness.

hmm uncheckable king.

hmm tricky move.

Tricky Elements

Omg

I lost haha.

Knew it.

lichess.org/Wqe6gKGL

@Tink does deletion of a question clear its flags? (I raised custom flag here.)

Interesting move.

Preparing to fianchetto.

lol

New word.

My bishop is lost.

Brilliant

I'll check more.

oh dear

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Not custom ones :)

This game, and I must go lunch.

Could be that it clears some, but not those :)

You could check yourself, on your profile/flags page it should also still show as pending ;)

Zugzwang.

I’m in a pickle.

Not quite.

Or quite.

My queen side pieces are badly placed.

I think it's just a blunder.

One blunder might cost a game, y'know...

Gimme back my pieces.

Scary. (not)

@Tinkeringbell ah, nice. Happy handling! :D

Probably not today, office day (PI Planning). Soooooo boooring but too noisy to concentrate on handling anything.

This game ends longer.

lol blunder

I lost.

Lunch time.

I think I got a bit lucky there.

Enjoy your lunch.

Good games!

@Tinkeringbell Pi day was days ago, no planning needed.

@rene March 14th was more that two days ago.

@rene I wish life was that easy sometimes :)

But company wants to know what I will be up to the next three months.

@Tinkeringbell including what you'll have for lunch every day?

@ElementsInSpace where did you see two? He said just "days ago", which is correct. ;D

Well that's the easiest thing to plan for XD Knäckebröd with something on top for workdays at home, tortilla wraps with a dairy spread and smoked chicken for office days, junkfood for weekends :P

@Tinkeringbell heh, nice. I don't know in advance what I'm going to eat, it's "decide on the fly" for me, when I go to buy something. :D

(wasn't really a typo, meant to say "what it's going to be" at first, so the "it" stuck ;))

(though "Going to IT" can be funny! ;))

HELLO THIS IS IT, HAVE YOU TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN?

rofl

@rene there're more...

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda I got a '2023 wrapped' from my banking app and it showed just how often I waste money on getting food (in the category 'food and drink', not 'groceries') while I have food with me/at home, and I made a resolution to not do that in 2024. So far, I'm making good on that :P

0 transactions in that category so far this year :D

@ElementsInSpace Yeah because of my blunder. ;)

@ElementsInSpace The lunch was tasty. lol

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Hmm, looks like I imagined it.

Whoopsie.

lichess.org/ExoJa4Fy

lol...

what

I don’t get it.

The capturing piece is removed from the board, because of the explosion.

oh bother

It can't survive the explosion.

lol blunder

why don’t my own piece explode too?

Pawns don't explode, unless they capture

what if I take with the king?

You cannot take with the king, because it would explode him ;).

this is just madness

Careful now!

lol

You can also connect the kings, it is useful sometimes.

What?

I mean, your king can stand right next to mine, and nothing will happen.

I bet it helps to know all the rules before starting.

lichess.org/variant/atomic

Can you set up French Revolution?

All the rules are the same, it’s just a different starting set-up.

Let me see

Can you show me the screenshot of the starting position please?

Like pawns in the middle, but crossed over; like this

And the player makes two moves in one turn, do I understand correctly?

No, only one move each — like normal.

Ah, then no problem.

Wait a bit...

lichess.org/o5rs0Iq9

I don't know how to play this variant though. ;)

Nope, that’t not right, swap all the pawns over.

oops lol.

lichess.org/tfY5gSXp

that’s it

How to play that!

Very carefully

lol

Actually, yes.

Mate in 1?

nah.

Oh.

Thanks I would have missed that.

Now you should teach me. ;)

@Elements

Looks like I lost again.

Don't have much choice.

Mate in 1.

Or not.

Good games!

lol

I think I need to practice/learn Atomic.

Of course, good games when you win. :D

Of course!

lichess.org/BAO3jmufrH6d lol (that's not the challenge, just showing how stupid level 1 is)

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard A nasty trick.

Yeah.

lichess.org/t2I80L9Zc7gb The shortest checkmate possible.

That’s the same

rofl

Not dementia.

So, will you teach me?

Teach you what exactly? Strategy for French Revolution?

Yes.

Um, I dunno. Each side has a lot of tempo. I like to get the queen and bishops involved as quick a possible (knights are too slow to attack with), move the pawns as to block/defend against the opposing bishops. Also, setup discovered attacks with the pawns.

And don’t bother castling, just attack.

Ah.

Nobody wants to play Casual atomic.

@Elements you can watch me playing Atomic now.

lichess.org/@/Peter-developer01/all

I’ll watch, but I’m a little tired to play any more today/night.

Okay.

They suddenly don't make moves.

Not my fault ;).

Are you planning to take on b2?

b1, you mean? Yes.

I started another game.

They don't make a single move.

What ...

rofl

Resigned lol

Good as well

They are afraid that if I won Stockfish level 1, I'll win them as well. lol

Damn.

!!/coffee Elements

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard brews a cup of macchiato for @Elements

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard BTW, it looks like we’ve taken over the Tavern somewhat. It’d probably be polite to the rest of the Tavern dwellers if next time we chess chat in another room. You have a chat room of your own don’t you?

@ElementsInSpace okay, you know where my chat room is, right?

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard I found it.

Good

@ElementsInSpace It's not like room was in use/attempted to be used for anything else, but it's appreciated. :)

@ElementsInSpace or associated Pi with 2 somehow... ;)

@ElementsInSpace hehe and yet you win, even without knowing the full rules. Impressive. :P

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Elements meant in Atomic. I don't remember if they won, but I think no.

@ElementsInSpace or the Den, it accepts anything in open arms shadows.

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda My room is better for these purposes ;).

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard smaller and no FOX or Kenny! :D

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda I am the FOX and the Kenny there.

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard nah you're too human

Also I have two bots there.

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard I know, but they're not FOX or Kenny. :D

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda lol still.

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda I don’t want to be pingable in your den, for obvious reasons.

I'm too used to them, can't be without them... it's like cheating....

:P

@ElementsInSpace good night

@ElementsInSpace cries

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard G’night

rofl

roflol

@Elements FYI, there's even ChatGPT in the Den. Proof that anything goes there. :P

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Like trash

That was a joke, please don't count it as an offense ;)

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard on the contrary, it's a compliment. :D

lol, this one broke my brain for a minute.

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard random chat message of the day?

How you stumble on those?

Magic

Wand

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda 2k messages?

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard niep

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda lolwat

@PetəíŕdTheLinuxWizard wutlol

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Wietlol

hmm @DavidPostill you think this isn't spam? I saw @Glorfindel's edit but still, looks like a "shoot and forget" spam attempt.

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda He did say it was his website. I'll let that play out.

@ElementsInSpace The Tavern would be dead if not.

@ElementsInSpace Obvious to whom?

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact everyone
