The FIDE regulations dictate that a player who declines en passant must drop a brick on their pipi. A brick is kept nearby for such eventualities

I figured it was something like that.

No no, this makes sense, you literally need to cheat.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

It works for the crooks in charge.

But the people paying for these kind of alpha boot camps aren't ever going to be in that position. They'll just put on blinders and "hustle" like a good little worker.

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Alpha in the software sense: pre-release, lots of bugs, definitely not ready for production, sale, or wide public viewing.

So we can ship it tomorrow? Great I just told the investors, so we're now leagly obligated to ship it tomorrow.

To be fair, though, if you were in a game of chess where you could make 10 moves for every one move your opponent makes, it would be really easy to win that game of chess.

Chess with flash windows.

I feel so fucking dirty for saying those words. Good god.

But that is how CEO assholes work (or try to until they can't get away with it)

I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude "knows how to play", but won't risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won't play. I don't enjoy online chess, so I just don't get to play.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 3 hours ago

Give shot chess a try. Each piece is a small shot glass.

I had loads of fun destroying my friends since I was in the chess club in grade school. And they had fun because alcohol.

Or find a park that has chess boards.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I don't want to ruin this meme, but he's saying a real thing in a confusing way. You have to think 10 moves ahead of your opponent and also the repercussions of each move at every step.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 23 points 4 hours ago

Zero points for saying it wrong, though.

“You miss every shot you take”

“The only thing we do not fear is fear itself”

“Interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake”

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 19 points 4 hours ago

No, he said a real thing in a completely factually wrong way, and that's assuming that this "entrepeneur" actually understood it correctly, which I doubt.
