Feels like castling would have been the better move almost always there, even if the person controlling the King doesn't have a pawn they could move instead.

Also if you mod a game either send reminders or don't

To be honest, it doesn't seem to make much difference to submissions whether I send a reminder or not. The trouble I have is that it's vastly easier to process moves on my phone, but I cannot access my sent messages there, so to send a prompt I then have to go onto a different device, and I'm lazy.

This isnt a game of being optimal. By definition.

If you dont submit your move, you get randed any of your legal moves. If you dont like it, submit a move.

There's been at least six resignations from the UK government this morning, likely more to come. Don't tempt me...

optimal move would have definitely been to just tip the King over #blacklivesmatter

Do u not know the rules?

Also how hard is it to follow the thread?

??

I have R&U the rules TYVM

Kd1 is a move of someone who did not submit a move and therefore his move was randed from legal moves. Even a 1300 rating player would know that 0-0-0 and Kd2 >>>> Kd1

Hence our king did not submit and therefore I rage @him.

This move seems far better than castling.

By my count:
Only 1 person left still without executing a single move
No one’s eliminated yet
There’s been a few cases of people unable to submit a legal move (obviously checks are one common cause)
And only one player atm with a forced submission (i.e. only 1 legal move).

We’re running at 6 ply per week, so this could go on all year.

I've been told that they don't allow check-raising in prison. Or some prisons, anyhow. Maybe they don't allow en passant either.

In general, I’m only assuming that a submitted move counts for multiple plies if you explicitly say that. Otherwise, I’m counting it for the given move it was submitted for and then ignoring it when the next move arises.

If you you have only one move possible/none, no need to let me know - I can probably figure that out.
