White's up what 6 points?

It's over anyways

E: hey, I actually remembered

I was so sure Queen was 8 points. I was prepared to tell you off on your shit math skills, but for once decided to fact check myself before spouting off bullshit. Turns out you were right.

[-] Castigant@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Wait, I also thought it was valued at 8. Why did we think this?

[-] nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

I don't think there is a way to force black to loose, at least given they play well. Obviously if they take the queen they loose, but if they move a pawn forward they can keep playing indefinitely.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 3 points 10 months ago

For certain values of indefinitely. White can force an exchange of Queen for rook and Knight, which definitely seals Black's fate.

Sorry, missed that one.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Is there an obvious winning line for White or do you just mean the material disadvantage?

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 1 points 10 months ago

White takes the knight regardless whose turn it is.

It's all fun and games until Peregrine Took en passants.
