Nobody has said "etiquette". Doh !!
Originally posted by greenpawn34Yes, IF my opponent allows it. OR, I keep checking the K with my R at the adjacent square.
I'm not comfortable with this either, but there is nothing in TOS that
says you cannot discuss games from another site. π
Perhaps Russ should start up a new forum.
Games from other sites that can be openly discussed.
Maybe we should pile across to Chess.Com and discuss our own Anand - Carlsen game.
(If you have the Rook just pin the Knight to the King and chop it.)

Ah!, BUT, I do not know my opponents next move so it is like adjournment and players are allowed to discuss the game with advisors!
Originally posted by SwissGambitIt seems that I am guilty, though I only talked about theoretical considerations (that a win is still possible for both Players), so that there is no FORCED draw at this Point. Actually I went ahead to Show a helpmate for the K+N side to Show that I am not a complete moron....
See, you can discuss games in progress, as long as you do it on another site! π
Originally posted by PonderableI'm coming down more on him than you guys. Although it doesn't hurt to remind people that they shouldn't offer help in the middle of the game.

Sue me.
Originally posted by greenpawn34The advice given here has been of a vague and general nature, and we don't know the dispositions of the pieces in the actual game. No one here has advised anything so specific as "drive the opposing king into a corner" much less something as exact as "Kf3." So I think we can all sleep with clear consciences.
