How do you type a chess piece in OGS demo trays? BesoGo has an input field for arbitrary characters, which is very useful. And unlike OGS, it doesn`t always erase all chess pieces when I place a Go piece. And as promised, Cueball rated this particular conversation and gave it a 1/2-1/2 because he believes it is a null conversation. The reasons for the draw can be an agreement (both parties leave after), a stalemate (the conversation leads nowhere), a draw by replay (both players have played the same moves over and over again and cannot improve their position – probably if „Fine” had been repeated more often), the 50-move rule (the conversation has been unsuccessful for too long – unlikely here, since it only does 4 dialogues) or something else. There can be similarities between chess games and conversations. In general, you can find more in the Trivia section. In this comic, Cueball finds his chess game against Megan too difficult and he tries to tap his subconscious to find his next move. This is a common technique used in more physical competitions such as baseball or golf, where overthinking can interfere with one`s movements and thus „clear the mind” and rely on the subconscious mind to overcome these mental barriers. However, chess is more a game of planning and strategy than natural movement, and the rules of chess are not rooted in the subconscious of Cueball, and therefore its subconscious feeds it with invalid movements and beginner`s questions about the rules of movement. Cueball begins a conversation with White Hat by stating that he will evaluate his conversations using chess notation (hence the title). White Hat is not interested, so the conversation breaks out, with Cueball and White Hat saying „Good”.
If this is explained by 3-dimensional analogy, a pawn can move to one of the 5 cells – forward, up, down, front up and before low – if it is still on its starting rank and its movement includes „forward”, it can move two cells and it can capture 10 cells – front-left, front-right, top left, top-right, bottom left, bottom right, front-up-left, forward up right, forward up right, front down left and front bottom right. I think it`s normal for the chess game to end in checkmate, I would suggest introducing an advantage for the checkmate player. The obvious example would be winning the combined game altogether, an example of a more subtle advantage of my head would be „the player who checked deserves the right to pass all the other moves on the Go board”, which (I think) essentially doubles his territory at the end of the game. The Queen: The Queen can move in any of the 242 directions the King can, but can go as far as she wants without jumping over the pieces instead of just 1 step. Explain xkcd is a wiki dedicated to explaining the xkcd webcomic. Go figure. The last part of the first section, chess scoring (and rating), states that Cueball would rate a conversation „1-0”, whether he wins it or loses it (depending on who started the conversation). It is completely ambiguous; He would need more comments to show if he started and won the conversation or the opposite.
If I scored it – but I`m not a chess player – I would hit it like I were still white, and it would be clear whether I won or not. What`s the point of evaluating the conversation if you can`t read the score later? He didn`t say he recorded and evaluated his conversations, he just said he wrote them down.108.162.237.226 21:10, 18 February 2017 (UTC)!! – Brilliant movement: Very strong and counterintuitive movement. A healthy victim. ! – good move: A surprisingly good move. !? – Interesting move: risky or worthy of attention and analysis. ?! – Questionable move: Indicates a move that may be bad, but it is difficult to explain why. ? – Error: Bad move that should not be played. ?? – Error: Exceptionally bad move, usually refers to a move that turns a winning position into a draw or a draw into a losing position. I like the idea, but I have a few questions: if the person who plays the last move is the winner, do we want to guarantee that the game will end? If so, how? It is not uncommon for chess games to reach a state where no player can reasonably checkmate, but they could continue to play for a long time. In fact, the game could last indefinitely if it weren`t for the „triple repetition of position” rule and the „50-move rule.” (Off topic: This threshold of 50 moves is completely arbitrary, and there are positions where one side has a checkmate forced, but 50 moves are not enough) I think there are still loopholes in the rules, like what happens when chess ends in a draw.
The title text contains the same statement that Cueball evaluates all his conversations in chess notation, followed by a (??). In chess notation, (??) means that the move in question was a very bad move or loser – a mistake. Cueball considers this part of the conversation a mistake, which is understandable since she immediately turned the conversation against him. It can also be seen as a lost gesture, not only in conversation, but in general, as it is a confusing and unnecessary decision with no obvious gain. If Cueball treats his conversation himself as a game of chess (memorizing openings, using tactics, and evaluating various possible things), then he will avoid opening a conversation with that statement again.
