Here's a more detailed explanation:

... Bxf4

(There are a couple things white could do here, including taking the pawn at g6+, but nothing that really puts white ahead, because black is eventually looking to promote the pawn for discovered check. White can't take the pawn with his rook before it's promoted because he loses the rook. He can't take the promoted pawn either because he needs to get out of check from the black rook. Uncovering the king by taking the bishop with his pawn would work to white's disadvantage against a rook-queen attack.)

Then white's only move would be:

Nf2

Then black could either take the white rook with the new queen or try to maneuver into mate with the rook and queen.

Right, so moving the bishop allows black to discover check with the rook by promoting the pawn. It's not quite mate in two because white can delay the inevitable by covering its king with the knight.

My question is, why is it better to move the bishop to b4 than to take the pawn at f4?

[–] putoelquelolea@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (17 children)

Not arguing - I truly want to understand. Black risks the bishop either way, and white can also check the black king either way, n'est-ce pas?

I was thinking along the lines of Bxf4. Would that have the same result?

We were both supposed to be taking Halidol but hadn't for a few days.

We decided to change out our meds for some really potent weed with some PCP, LSD and meth mixed in.

Don't see how that's relevant to the story, though

The fact that you enjoyed playing with a ouija board and took metaphysics classes shows that you are open-minded and suggestible. These practices help you notice micro-expressions of the other participants and help you attune to the “vibe“ that other people are projecting.

The metaphysics teacher is also trained in these sensibilities, and noticed how you were all out of sorts when he arrived at your house

I put PrimeOS on one - it's an Android x86 fork. Runs pretty well

It's even worse. The original US Constitution does not prohibit slavery. It wasn't until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed seventy years later - after a Civil War tore apart the country - that slavery was abolished. With the express exception of punishment for a crime. No qualifications for the severity of the crime. And that exception gets frequent use to this day in the penal system

It's also entertaining and fun. Highly recommend
