Oooooh I like that chess problem. Forgive my rusty chess notation but Re1 and f8-K?
I'm guessing am_Unition's deleted post was about promoting a pawn to a King? I love the idea of a 6 queen endgame Two games in a row. Amazing! In the second game both sides also had three queens
No it was another move that didn't work, I think he caught it in time before anyone else saw ;) Also the move I had meant to write was f8=N. I forgot the K is reserved for the King.
The fun of antipodesmap.com wears off quickly when it becomes apparent that most places map to water. Málaga/Auckland is the closest thing I could find to an interesting pair.
Thanks to Anna Frodesiak for adding the Statue of Unity to the image today. I didn’t notice that colossus was missing!
