"Armed Croissant"? Now you're just making shit up

Bro, the armed croissant is the best piece in the current version of chess, what old-ass version are you on?

I still don't understand this pawn rule. It's like my brain doesn't want to absorb it

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't understand either but I just looked it up and I think it works like this: if your opponent moves a pawn two squares up on the first move, and that skips the square that would make it vulnerable to be taken by your pawn, you can move your pawn to the square that their pawn would be at if they only moved it one square and take their pawn. According to Wikipedia "the rule ensures that a pawn cannot use its two-square move to safely skip past an enemy pawn"
