Good day fellow chess enjoyers,
I have been one of the chess players in history for quite some time and thought I had a perfect understanding of the rules.
Today, with my mediocre rating of 161659, I had a physical discussion with a infantile, 7 year old player. He claimed declining the king's gamit is a legal move and continued to win the game with his unfair advantage. No one could have seen the required 1837. Ra4 in the resulting position.
His parents are pressing charges and I am building my defence based on the perfect ruleset of the genius Gary Chess. Is there any law practicing chess prodigy willing to testify and/or answer some questions?
In retrospect I'm glad he did not decline en passant, enforcing that rule on children supposedly makes you a registered sex offender. You don't even need to be a bishop for that.

Here's your thread. Enjoy the shows!
Back in the day I liked playing the King's Gambit. I liked it's openess, and the numerous ways to attack for white. Getting back into chess now, and apparently it's not viewed as favorable at the higher levels.
Can you suggest another White opening that offers the same openess and aggression for me?
I know a lot of variations against King's gambit but I'm not sure what to play against King's gambit
I like play complex positions
Do you know of anyone who usually plays the king’s gambit while streaming? They don’t even have to be that highly rated. I’m only ~850 and I’m interested in watching other people’s games in addition to learning opening theory to see what they’re trying to do and why, what goes well and also what happens when things go off the rails.
I am an intermediate player who has been playing e4 since i started chess. I don't really know any theory with white other than general principles and some tricks in the fried liver etc. I want to start to learn an actual e4 opening and i have narrowed it down to the ruy lopez and the king's gambit. They are both really theoretical but the King's Gambit seems to rely more on opening knowlegde. However very few e5 players face the king's gambit because of its low popularity. The only GM who has played it recently is Nepo. The Ruy lopez seems more sound but the KG seems more fun. Which should i use?
So I'm enjoying Tom King's run, but the inevitable questions pop up, especially in relation to I Am Suicide.
First of all, how did batman unbreak his back when Bane threw him into the pit?
Did Bane really intentionally quit Venom only to go back onto it and invade Arkham Asylum as part of his plan?
Did Bame want to have his back broken as part of his plan too?
Are there in fact two completely different plans with I am Suicide and I Am Bane being the failure of his first plan?
Should I just relax and enjoy the comics?
I wanted to watch Jonathan Shrantz’s video on the Saint Louis channel, but it seems like he is only covering the main line and some not-so-popular lines. The problem is almost nobody plays these as black at my level.
Trans Mat Firing!
I followed a link to The King's Gambit (WIP), which I enjoyed reading. Any recs out there for similar stories?
