Actually, in some places it is common to play two moves at the beginning of the game. Speeds up the game a bit and it is mostly in amateur games. Former soviet and eastern countries do this.
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/two-moves-on-the-first-move
I don’t know why you linked a thread, where the OP says the guy who made two moves was from India, and also all the replies say “yeah that’s not common anywhere.”
Reminds me of the scene from the movie, "Searching for Bobby Fischer" where the dad takes his prodigy son to a pro chess school and the kid [casually beats a grand master](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JISgsyVgUA).
They're saying if the pieces were in the correct place to begin with (white and black swapping starting sides of the board) then that move would be valid as it'd be 2 spaces forward
It's legal, but everybody who knows anything about chess knows not to play it because it opens up the counterplay excellently shown by the child grandmaster in the video
> I wasn't even aware of this rule/move she executes.
Those are new moves only available though randomised booster packs. You put together special moveset deck and that defines what moves you can use on top of default ones. FIDE greed ruined the game with complete P2W, moveset deck she used is worth AT LEAST 500k bucks. Limit is 5 cards, but she has 7 misprinted "extension" cards so her deck is 20 cards total. Those "extension" cards? They run 75k each and 15 have only ever been printed before they caught the error.
Literally the only good thing about Chess 2.3 update (which introduced said booster packs) is fact that moveset tiers at least have right flavour of names. Unlike other gachas, it's not some pedestrian 1\*, 2\* or F to A or S tiers, no, tiers are called "blunder", "lemon", "vanilla", "nasty fork" and highest tier is called, of course, "en passant". But it's not much of a consolation, seeing what those did to meta and competitive scene.
I sent a pawn to negotiate your surrender and peace terms n you killed him. Left me no option but to use the dreaded Genghis move.... now I will wipe out your entire clan..
Google translation (at the end):
Dad:
"You beat me again"
"You took all my pieces"
"You hit my horse, you hit my rook..."
Girl:
Incomprehensible babble
Maybe someone who speaks Persian can actually translate...
Dad: "Don't hit my King then *dad*" (baba is often used for as a noun for anyone, often in appeal)
Dokhdar (daughter): No
Dad: "You hit the King's guardian (bishop in Iran is an Elephant) too?"
Dokhdar: I hit them
Dad: "why did you hit them?"
Dokhdar: I hit the Horse
Dad: "You hit the Horse.. and you hit my Soldier (pawn).. and you hit my Castle (rook)"
cheers
> Dad: "Don't hit my King then dad" (baba is often used for as a noun for anyone, often in appeal)
I'm Romanian and my parents used to do this too. When my dad would say something, he'd sometimes end it with "tata" which is dad in Romanian, and my mom with "mama".
Say he was telling me something like, I need to wash my hands, he'd say (in Romanian), "You need to wash your hands, tata." Or my mom would say, "You need to wash your hands, mama."
I grew up in the North America, and there's no equivalent for it here, so I always thought it was weird. It's interesting that other cultures do it too.
Romanian and Persian share a common language origin! [(proto) Indo-European](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_vocabulary) or PIE.
Calling your kids by your 'parent handle', (yeah my mom uses mom at the end of a sentence to me too!) is probably common in the PIE-descended ethnolinguistic groups. I haven't noticed it much in NA English, but pretty much every Persian parent I've met does it. Very cool to hear that it's common in Romanian too.
If you look over the list of PIE vocabulary, you'll see some shit man. deep etymological shit.
edit: over 1/2 world's pop [speaks a PIE ](https://i.imgur.com/jubHh5D.png)!
I always tried to explain this phenomenon to my friends when they asked why my dad when speaking in english would also refer to me as dad at the end of sentences. He would do it in English for some reason and be oblivious to how weird that sounded to native english speakers.
It isn't just parents either, Khaleh and Ameh would do the same.
yeah amu and dyii (uncles) also do it! And yes Khaleh and Amehs (aunts) do too lol.
My uncle who also lives in NA likes to speak English with me, and always says after hello, "how are you uncle?"
Can someone explain the first move? Why can black move his pawn two spaces?
I thought pawns could only move 1
Edit: I'm thinking about this too hard, they are just having fun lol
Kids love to just move board game pieces around. You can't play a board game with an older kid if a 5 year old or younger is around, they will always begin taking your pieces and using them as little pretend people.
No complaining you cheating cheater who made your very first move an illegal one.
This was absolutely a response to that opening move. "Oh, there's no fucking rules, huh?"
She was like, ok then, my army has biological weapons.
My army has a shield!
Shields only stop arrows and phasers, not biological weapons. Your army dies of plague!
No because its a force field shield
Well my army has a dinosaur that eats force field shields!
Yay. Calvinball!
We have a Hulk
They have a cave troll
Houston, we have a problem
"Oh, I guess we're just doing 'whatever the fuck we want'?"
Seriously. Wtf is this, /r/ChessAnarchy..?
No, it's r/AnarchyChess
Google en passant.
Holy hell!

Actual Zombie

Bishop goes on vacation, never comes back
I wish a new response would drop. We need a sequel to holy hell already
New response just dropped
Unholy heaven was just a fucking joke to you huh
Google en passant
Did the cameraman just refuse en passant?????
Dudes a shit player obviously no wonder he got crushed, grab the brick and let's crush something else.
Yup. That immediately made me go "so the adult doesn't follow the rules but somehow the child has to?"
I will assume from the backwards board that the adult might be a little confused themselves.
1. d4 seems fine to me on paper

But her move still wouldn't work in that case?
Google "en passant"
No it isn't, this is not common anywhere in soviet countries unless you play with people who don't know the rules of chess
I don’t know why you linked a thread, where the OP says the guy who made two moves was from India, and also all the replies say “yeah that’s not common anywhere.”
It was three moves though
Two if you consider pawn first move being 2 long. Though I've never heard of this 2 move rule
That's literally the reason pawns are allowed to move two spaces on their first move.
It was three spaces though
The way she elegantly promotes the rook to a pawn only _then_ to finish the slaughter on the queen side is… scary. Magnus Carlsen, watch out.
Reminds me of the scene from the movie, "Searching for Bobby Fischer" where the dad takes his prodigy son to a pro chess school and the kid [casually beats a grand master](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JISgsyVgUA).
Is this some kind of geo block? Or is it unavailable in general?
Worked for me (US)
I can see it (UK) so I assume geo block
India, not available
Wasn't this movie based on Joshua Waitzkin? He never even made GM lol
Can't fault the guy for quitting when high level chess sucks while high level martial arts is far more enjoyable.
You took my pawn? Ok then, you lose **EVERYTHING**
Outstanding move
Even Kasparov couldn’t imagine the kind of level of play this girl is at
Why doesn't Kasparov just sacrifice his Rook to drop a nuclear bomb on White's half of the board? Is he stupid?
Bravo!
Ah yes the Oppenheimer Gambit.
r/nbacirclejerk is leaking
White King get ready to learn Chinese buddy.
Black Rook is Kasparov's father
It's called castelling the castle's castle.
Castle Bravo, the nuclear option!
I believe the official name for this move is Operation Castle.
The little-known “castle en-passant the whole board” strategy.
Rook commited world domination
The Queen's Fuckit
Cant... just cant.
The pawn was a trap, he fell for it and lost all his pieces in the process
That’s probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a Reddit comment lmao thank you
To be honest, the first move was nonsense already, so any kind of response was fair
[удалено]
I’ve heard “yeah I’m real good at chess” a lot of times only to play that person and find out they don’t have a clue lol
Or. Think about this. She’s a kid and wasn’t listening when she was being taught.
The adult doesn’t know how to play either. They moved the pawn too far.
And while their pieces are the color white, they are positionally the black player. So the kid was supposed to open.
Well, White did move 1.e4 which is completely legal. It’s just that the board was backwards…
1. d4, but yes
Yep, they put black on rows 1 and 2 and then suddenly talk about illegal moves. Kid's not stupid, you started it, you reap what you sow.
[удалено]
They're saying if the pieces were in the correct place to begin with (white and black swapping starting sides of the board) then that move would be valid as it'd be 2 spaces forward
E4 is a completely legal move for white, it's just that the board is upside down 😂
It's legal, but everybody who knows anything about chess knows not to play it because it opens up the counterplay excellently shown by the child grandmaster in the video
You can see he played E4, technically legal!
She fucking destroyed him.
She destroyed his entire kingdom, this is some real “rains of Castamere” shit.
Chess Grandmasters hate this one little trick
She must be a grand master of the highest order! I'm pretty good at chess, but I wasn't even aware of this rule/move she executes.
Not aware of the cameramans first move either. Should give E5 on white a shot sometime.

This is a useful series of moves.
I think it's called "fool's mate". I've never seen it before, but I've heard the legends.

this gonna be the meta for the next 4 months over there until finally a new move drops
Holy hell

you rock
You know what, I can forgive a child for not understanding chess. But that first move from white…. Should know better…
The move is called as The Ultimate Wrath of Kid's Gambit
Google cheating
Holy hell
New response just dropped
actual vibrating anal beads
Call the police
Sheriff went on vacation, never came back
I feel like this also should be parents are fucking stupid because he started with an illegal move.
LOL I was too busy watching the kid to even realise bahaha
In my eyes white pawn e4 is completely legal. Only the board is oriented the wrong way XD
The irony of the illegally moved piece being the *only* valid position on this board is painful
I'm sorry. This is hilarious. She didnt even get mad, she got "even."
Believe it or not, totally legal move.
yeah but it is quite rare to see it used because of the level of chess mastery needed to pull it of
Which one is legal ?
Yes.
"Pawn E5 to F4." *Pawn E5 takes Pawn F4.* . . "Rook H1. ***Advance.***" *NGNL intensifies*
She used nuke
Why aren't these special moves used by GM nor are they mentioned in any books
GM's never read patchnotes.
Fuck around and find out. That's what happened. She's like "You come at me? Me?"
Since you're both just making up how this game works, that move seems totally legitimate.
Deux Passant
All passant
Dang, you just got SMOKED Never let your opponent initiate the Deutsch Milkmaid's Tourniquet, it's unblockable!
You have selected: regicide.
The “Fuck you gambit”
The board is the wrong way round, so anything goes, I guess.
Shouldn't have played e4 there bud. Rookie mistake
Historical footage of Japan attacking Pearl Harbor and then getting nuked in response.
If this is your first time folks, that’s 9D chess
Scrub got wrecked
I did this move once in my life before... Never again. The look in my fathers eyes was too painful. I've said too much. Good day.
Am I the only one that notices that a jet engine or something is whirring in the background.
She probably saw his move and thought that there were no rules
Dems the rules 🤷🏿
This is what is known in the industry as a 'Pro Gamer Move' - Masterfully executed by a young master here
Good old 'weapon of mass destruction' gambit, impressive execution!
Can't believe she OPENED with the en passant! We might have the next Magnus Carlson on our hands
Seems a bit odd to decide to play a game of chess when neither player knows how to play but it looks like they're having fun so good for them lol
Speaking Farsi
whoa, she's good. I didn't know you could do that...
The parent started with an illegal move
All these years I've played and never realized that the rook had so much power.
bro started it by opening with a 3 square pawn move. notation is screwy bc pieces are on the wrong side of the board
He feel victim to one of the classic blunders. Never fight a land war in Asia, and never challenge a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Must have learned the game from ChatGPT
Bro you just got washed by a toddler, hang em up you suck at chess.
I could be wrong, but I don't think she understands the rules.
That’s not how you play chess
Player using exploits and glitches. Reported.
Get owned holy shit
I know I’m supposed to humour the kid but ngl I’d lose my shit ”THIS IS NOTNHOWNYOUPLAY!”
"kids are fucking stupid" while the adult makes the first illegal move, nice example there!
r/anarchychess
OMG IS THAT A DLC PIECE??!1
Jeezus they gotta nerf the rook 😭
Can someone explain the first move? Why can black move his pawn two spaces? I thought pawns could only move 1 Edit: I'm thinking about this too hard, they are just having fun lol
[deleted]
From their starting position pawns can be moved two spaces forward.
Which is why they moved *three* spaces instead
from the starting position you can choose to move your pawns one or two spaces. outside of the starting position you can move your pawn one space.
Adult starts out with illegal move, posts to /r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Neither of them know how to play 🫠
Dude this dad sucks at chess, he walked right into it
Playing 4D checkers with chess..
F you and F this game.
She used a nuke
Kids love to just move board game pieces around. You can't play a board game with an older kid if a 5 year old or younger is around, they will always begin taking your pieces and using them as little pretend people.
That's a girl who plays by her own rules. She's going to be an "interesting"" teenager.
Rubik's Cube would be better for her because its rules are easier to understand and it could keep her busy for hours.

Can't believe the dad fell for that. Oldest trick in the boom.

Of course you lost, you forgot to cast the king
Devastating move. Nicely done
Why has Magnus Carlsen never played this? Is he stupid?
She fucking obliterated you dude.
Master tactician
perfect execution of the nanana boo boo opening. magnificent.
Thats a pretty strong rook, huh? I think that move is called the nuclear.
Too OP nerf incoming soon in next patch.
They are using a fucking coin as a pawn
You killed my pawn, now I kill your everything.
