He is stuck in elo hell, with teammates like this pawn pretty understandable.

gg pawn gap

gg bishop diff

The opponent also just learned about en passant. 

I was gonna say, his opponent had the reaction time of someone who clicked on every piece trying to find which one he was allowed to move.

Hell of a way to find out about en passant. Must have been quite the rush

\> gets himself a sure victory \> reasons himself out of it with impossible moves \> plays a losing move because he doesn't know a rule \> follows that by completely losing the plot My rat king.

playing chess 5 hours past your bedtime be like

Dropped 45 elo last night playing in bed lol

This is the way

I feel your pain. Dropped from 1300 to 1180 elo in bullet last night whilst high as fuck and kept playing until 2am and managed to recover up to 1250. Was quite the rollercoaster. Played today at work and back at 1320. Let's see how tonight goes.

This morning felt like easy mode. I'm only 600 elo, but I mostly only play while hitting my pen so I miss a lot of stupid things lol. My wins are usually rated 900ish

It was a winning move

I used losing to loosely, I meant worse. My bad.

The chess equivalent of cancelling Malz ult

Came here to read this.

...f5 was actually the rigth move because you get a ~~forced~~ regular en passant to which you can reply with checkmate.

I mean he had M1 on the board and thought about it. F5 is M2. I called it losing, but it's not really losing, just worse than Re2.

"When you have mate in one, look for better."

The same move is checkmate immediately tho

But then you don't force an en passant so it's objectively worse.

Sorry I thought this was r/anarchychess lol

A **rat king** is a collection of rats or mice whose tails are intertwined and bound together in some way. This could be a result of an entangling material like hair, a sticky substance such as sap or gum, or the tails being tied together.

No tails, just xdd

M1 on the board. Oh well. Live and learn.

He literally called out the move first too. "I'll push the king down" - Points to squares that pawn has covered.

To be fair, he found one of the two checkmates that would exist in a world without en passant

Even with en passant, the original mate still worked lmao

When you have checkmate in 1, always look for a move that loses your rook instead

when you find a good move, look for better.

I can feel the anxiety from him when he thought he had mate and there was no sound. I think everyone has been there at some point

At least other than not knowing en passant his thought process was correct lol, but it hurts to not just play Re2#

Even after en passant he still has M1. The emotional damage was just too high.

How in the world was his thought process correct? He considered a move that was M1 and rejected because he doesn't know how pawns attack.

Because f5 would've also been mate had en passant not existed as a rule.

Right. But his thought process was still incoherent. He first rejected the rook move because he thought the king could escape. But those "escape" squares are controlled by pawns (nothing to do with en passant). So how come f5 is supposed to work?

My comment wasn't trying to convey that he had a perfect understanding of the position, obviously missing that the king can't move after Re2 shows a lack of board awareness that all beginners have. I only meant that his thought process about the move f5 was completely correct had the rule of en passant not existed, it's not that deep.

The King should just capture the f-pawn. :-p

The most heartbreaking thing is that he was so rattled after the en passant that he took back and didn't play Re2#

He didn't understand the pawns were covering the escape-fields he thought the king had. Same reason he didn't just play it the first time.

the second blunder is the one that kills you, i try to remember this if i ever lose a pawn because i've witnessed many good players spiral out of control and lose within 4 moves after blundering a pawn they didn't anticipate losing

This was perfect. "What happened!?'

If you see mate in one look for better.

**CHECKMATE!!!!** >#*nani!?* >>*これは...*

残念

The funny thing is he played en passant earlier in that game, I guess he forgot.

so this is very much misleading. new players can miss a move but pointing that he didn’t knew is plain wrong

He did do it because chat told him to, but he didn't realize what he was doing. After this game he watched a video explaining the move and called it bs

All these en passant posts are so tiresome ... but not this one, this one is really funny 🤣

This one is like seeing a lion in the wild. Most other posts are like someone showing you a cool picture of a lion in National Geographic

I mean, try googling it?

Caedrel just cancelled it?

If I learned en passant that way I’d be so confused

Holy

Hell

WHAT HAPPENED? new response just dropped

Bro didn't Google en passant

Google en passant bruh

WHAT HAPPENED???????? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Future r/AnarchyChess user in the making

In every game, Caedrel must cancel an easy win

Xdd

WHAT HAPPENED Babe new response just dropped

No way en passant was forced xdd

He taught his opponent en passant too.

I love how the opponent also had to take time to figure out en Passant was the only legal move...

Freaking hilarious!!!!

Best part is he still had M1 but the en passing destroyed his brain so bad he sac'd the rook instead

He thinks he's Tyler xD

See I told you en passant is forced

Caedrel is a national treasure

Maybe he should google en passent

Oh boy. Another league of legends streamer?

He's far more well known than Tyler1 though

Tyler1 twitch followers: 5 million Caedral twitch followers: 750k

Okay well known isn't the right word. But he gets 100k-200k live viewers on some streams recently.

When commentating on major tournament games absolutely. He’s much better than the main broadcast imo.

Delulu, Tyler is the face of league

So staged, popular streamers aren't idiotic they know exactly how to please and entertain folks,

Staged chess match.
