Both in a normal chess game on a board and by rights on the system we are using here?
Any comments please feel free...
Those other guys are pulling your leg,It's a bug.

Please define "Nancy". I tried looking this up, for instance at:

and don't see how this would apply to Suzianne. 😕

Effeminacy is character trait of showing femininity, unmanliness, womanliness, weakness, softness or delicacy. I would say that describes what was said.

Effeminacy comes from the Latin, ex which is "out" and femina which means woman; it basically means to be like a woman. The Latin term is mollities, meaning "softness".

You're saying suzianne isn't like a woman?

In the Mortal Kombat, are there additional rewards for Fatalities, Babalities, Animalities etc?

For Jaded Displacement, can I use my opponent's Eejit instead of my own?

Do Knights have summoning sickness? Does it make a difference if they are White Knights or Black Knights? Do they have first strike and Protection from the other color?

Yes and the animation is played if you are playing advanced mode.

Your own.

They do not have haste so you cannot move them on the turn you play them. Of course it makes a difference of the colour as you need the mana to cast them.

Black knight has protection from white and first strike.
Silver Knight has protection from red and first strike.
White knight has protection from black and first strike.
Femeref Knight has flanking.

We're talking about one of the basic rules of the game. Players who don't know them should be ridiculed. Publically, if possible.
We've had this discussion about "basic" rules before. It's one of the RULES of the game. No qualifiying adjective necessary, because in your view there are no non-basic rules.

Your memory is defective. I asked you for a 'non-basic' rule and you started listing rules of THIS SITE, not rules of the game of chess.

For someone who's incredibly pedantic about the English language, you certainly have trouble living up to your own standards. Have you looked up the definition of 'hypocrite' lately?

Don't forget the definitions of a$$-wipe, sh1t-head and fcuktard.

I suspect he's compensating for underendowment ... well not exactly compensating just bleating a lot......


and the en passant rule is just a rule but it covers an unusual situation and is therefore often overlooked. When I teach beginners the game I concentrate on the basics first.

No. You INTERPRETED what I said as such.

I gave an example of a non-basic rule of chess, namely time controls. These can be adopted anywhere by anyone.
