omg itโ€™s even forced lol

Damn. Thanks! I wouldโ€™ve never gone there!

Had to check comments to know it's possible, then understood it surprisingly fast thanks to lack of options ;)

Oooh. This was a good one. Took a lot of think time and I was almost convinced it wasn't possible. Thanks for sharing.

Hmm, not that knowledgeable about chess...but when it is black's turn, is it compulsory for them to move?

[โ€“] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 hours ago

Yes, and if they can't, it's a draw, so make sure black has a legal move after your first move.
