Is this a French opening ?

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 14 points 2 weeks ago

That is the French finale

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno the resulting balls are a bit too heavy for tennis.

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

I always thought the French opening was the Trou-de-cul.

[-] knightly@pawb.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Mate in two moves.

[-] AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space 18 points 2 weeks ago

In two moves? I mean, ok, I guess, but I'd prefer to be taken out to dinner first at least.

Too many rooks on the dance floor.

First we got rid of the king and queen, then the knights had no one to serve, the bishops lost there power over the populace, and then all that remained was the pawns and a bunch of empty castles.

Turned out the castles, or burges, are not that empty and don't need a king to serve.

ah yes, the French Sweet 16

[-] owl@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

Would is not make even more sense of the board was flipped? The pawn on g1 technically can be taken by the king.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

Is that the royal en passant? In which the king is allowed to move two spaces (and through check)?
