Grandmaster Rose's chess game in Murdle vol 1 is a very short one. I believe there's 5 moves in total.

This is crazy and only 26 notes is wild
Now seems like a good time to do this
First of all, rip to William Finn, that legend is missed
But I wanted to introduce y'all to my
Falsettos binder
An entirely hand written book of all the (dialogue? Lyrics?) of the entire musical.
Based on the revival 'cause that one's my favorite.
We got: in depth analysis of every bit of significance in nearly every line. Dumb thoughts of mine. And memes.
[I'm not exaggerating when I said I went through eight packs of sticky notes]
The point
A probably incorrect timeline based on a few dates and hella real world assumptions
Pencil/colored pencil drawings featuring every character's musical assigned colors and me-assigned chess pieces
Depressing watercolor paintings
A cobbled together study on the chess pieces used in "the chess game" cause they look so strange and are never used again
An extensive study on the cube which I used to build the whole thing functionally in the real world
What I call ✨ notes on a scene✨
Which is commentary and observations of every bootleg production I've seen.
There's also an In Trouser analysis in here somewhere, but alas, I have reached the image limit.
Perhaps you can tell I'm just slightly feral for this musical and had a bit too much free time a couple months back.
It's not a game anymore
i bought peach flavored ice cream today while wearing a peach themed shirt and the lady was like "wow,, you must really like peaches."
So I was on a chess "competition" at school today. And, just to clear it up immediately, I'm not really that amazing at chess, okay? But I know the rules, I know what to do, okay? I know how to play. And this one girl whose friend I was playing against was so f*cking full of her self. And she started to help her friend play. She literally was whispering to her friend what to do, how to move and everything. I was so mad. The professor warned her to stop helping her friend, but she didn't stop. She was so f*ucking smug. However... I whipped both of their smirks off in like 3 minutes by winning so yeah.
Since they're black bears, you go on the offensive. Big, loud, and threatening. Scare them away. If it was an Eight Brown Fucking Bears opening, you go on the defensive. Play dead. Minimal moves. They smell fear. If they were white bears, you have the bishops make peace with their gods and send forth your people as sacrifices in hopes that they will sate its hunger before it reaches you.
I'm still pretty new to chess, can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do if my opponent plays the Eight Fucking Bears opening? I'm really having trouble.
Idk how relevant is this but something about Seulgi’s orange hair look reminded me of the queen’s gambit. So I made a moodboard, yeah. Have fun
one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this
ok so i watch a lot of youtube videos about chess despite barely knowing how to play and something really funny happened on chess.com which is the site people go to to play chess online
basically they have a bunch of chess bots you can choose to play against at various different power levels (~100 is total noob, ~2500 is like, mega grandmaster). and recently they released a bunch of…cat themed bots?
but the noteworthy one is the cosmic horror known as Mittens.
Mittens has a listed power level of 1. However, that is a deception. Mittens is actually incredibly powerful, defeating top players with ease, and actually holding his own against the most powerful chess bots in existence.
also he sends you these weird messages like
absolutely wild
Wu tang dropped, so it looks like I’m gonna listen to my favourite rap group and play online chess for the evening

Light: [moves his pawn]
L: [also moving his pawn] Ah, the bulgarian somersault. A classic move.
Light: ... [takes L's bishop with his knight]
L: Oh, that is too bad, Light. I see you've played the Frenchman's cumsock, and in approximately 37 moves I’ll have—
Light: May we please play one game of chess where you do not reference popular blog posts and/or memes about chess?
L: [mouth full of chess pieces] Hm?
No game no life!
An all around great anime.
@anime-and-sometimes-other-stuff for more animation/cinema content.
Oh, WOW,
the number of poll responses has been greater than expected. Five people, excluding the soapbender, voted yes, so here it goes. The hilarious chase that would deliver the checkmate is detailed in the comments to the attached article. Make sure to credit the soapbending variance authority in the requested manner if you want to share the solution.
In the meantime, we cross our fingers in the ongoing, live championship. A decisive game looks set for today (so far).
While the World Championship is underway, is anyone curious about the answer for the scenario below? It will be posted as a comment to the attached spinoff proposal if at least three people vote "YES," not counting the Cretaceous soapbender's own vote.

There are times when I just want to set my desktop to the Lewis Chessmen because looking at them always brightens my day.
I mean
No matter how your day is going, these chess pieces are clearly having a worse one.
