Eh. Black is losing this game no matter whether or not they fall for the bait

You underestimate my ability to blunder

It's over tolkien, I have the advantageous positioning!

White's up what 6 points?

It's over anyways

E: hey, I actually remembered

I was so sure Queen was 8 points. I was prepared to tell you off on your shit math skills, but for once decided to fact check myself before spouting off bullshit. Turns out you were right.

Wait, I also thought it was valued at 8. Why did we think this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there an obvious winning line for White or do you just mean the material disadvantage?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

White takes the knight regardless whose turn it is.

I don't think there is a way to force black to loose, at least given they play well. Obviously if they take the queen they loose, but if they move a pawn forward they can keep playing indefinitely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For certain values of indefinitely. White can force an exchange of Queen for rook and Knight, which definitely seals Black's fate.

Sorry, missed that one.
