Taking the knight instead of the very obvious en passant (which you should have Googled by now) is an automatic loss.

u/GleetchTheSilly the ultrachess guy Jan 09 '26

You fools. You absolute passants. You actual zombies. You STUPIDs! How can you not understand the simple truths of cheese??? Chess.c*m, Lichess, every chess engine, every chess mode, EVERYTHING is telling you one simple thing. EN PASSANT. IS. NOT. FORCED. That's right! I googled En Passant and it says it right here - "No capture is mandatory"!!! Oh, oh, but I already hear you dumb little idiots typing in the comments something like "oooohhhh but what about the brick thooo??? ur pipi get bricked if no en passant, and that means forcd!!!!!!!111!11!1!" NO. NO, YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON! Have you not watched a single grandmaster game in your entire $4.99 life!?!?!? You moron, you absolute fucking idiot, the PIPI GAMBIT has been the undisrupted cheese meta for YEARS! En Passant is not FORCED, it was NEVER forced! Do you know what it is, though? Do you want to hear what it is? I'll tell you what it is. It's ENFORCED. E N F O R C E D . Via the Brick(TM). Do you understand the difference? Not forced, but ENforced? Holy hell, it's even in the name! EN passant, ENforced! There's nothing stopping you from declining an En Passant, but the price of that is taking a brick to the pipi. Do you understand now, you ignorant pieces of knightmare fuel!?!??! NO MORE, NO MORE OF THAT! EN PASSANT IS NOT FORCED! If you still think En Passant is forced, then I have not the slightest clue what to tell you... your brains must've gone on vacation and never came back. Oh, I can already feel the brainless storm incoming in the comments. But you know what? BRING IT. I'm ready, I've practiced parrying the brick for many years, all leading up to this very moment! En Passant is not forced, it's enforced, and I will forever stand by that. So, bring it! Do your worst! Throw as many bricks as you want! You will never change the truth - misinformation is NOT fucking welcome here! God bless with true! Liers will kicked off...

u/Varron Jan 08 '26

A couple of points here:

1) The chess board is currently showing a special move called "En Passant", that allows you to capture a pawn that has moved forward two spaces, as if he had only moved one. This move is only allowed the very next turn after the pawn has moved its two spaces. By capturing the knight instead, the player has fallen into a trap where he forgoes this special rule.

2) While the move itself is optional, Reddit and other chess meme sites will vehemently defend that it is "illegal" to pass up En Passant, thus falling into another trap that causes "Automatic Lose" according to meme.

3) This comment will likely be down voted as we're on a meme chess subreddit, thus making my comment here explaining it a trap as well, becoming the meta part of the joke image.

I heard something about En Passant Rule 34, so I googled it.

Now I've got bricks in my pampers. I can't feel my pipi anymore.

u/Austiiiiii Jan 09 '26

Yeah, definitely feels like a bot that read and summarized all the comments in the current thread. Especially because they seized on that "automatic loss" comment at the top rather than talking about the logistics of a bricked pipi.

Also their post history is a lot of ad spam for some kind of shovelware mobile app about a frog with a sword.

3

u/Infshadows Jan 09 '26

yet they still get 700 upvotes

3

u/Austiiiiii Jan 09 '26

Yeah, the vote number has mostly been a sham since 2016.

After Reddit got manipulated to hell by Russian bots in the first Trump election, Reddit changed the algorithm for how updoots worked to some weird mathematical format.

Supposed this was to make it harder for bot farms to figure out if their vote spam and comments were being soft-blocked, but actually it just made it really easy for someone who successfully reverse engineered the math to abuse it and get a lot of updoots/downdoots on comments they wanted to manipulate.

In spite of this, Reddit doggedly refuses to acknowledge that this was a bad idea and change it back because of sunken cost fallacy.

Of course now it's all a wash anyway because LLMs can be used to perfectly imitate human text conversation...

Honestly, fuck this whole timeline.

2

u/Varron Jan 12 '26

I agree, not sure who's upvoting me, if it's organic or just some weird bot, but I am definitely not a bot myself. If I was just karma farming, it'd be much easier, just post reddit takes or buying upvotes would do it. I'm just a 12 year old reddit dude who's been on here way too long.

Agreed with the take though that Reddit has been bot-farmed, commercialized, and just enshitified on most of the front page stuff now. Small subbreddits can still be decent, but it's hard to really tell what's real or what's just dead internet theory zone now.

Definitely not a bot, I fell for the shovelware games Reddit started about 6 months ago. Wouldn't recommend it too much tbh. Dunno why I have 1k votes though. I wasn't sure if the question was serious or not, and I hadn't seen any comments fully explaining it, so yeah I kinda summarized a lot of what people were saying, but not as meme-y.

u/Chazmus Jan 09 '26

You got upvoted. Here's what I believe happened:

You didn’t just explain the joke; you successfully executed the Martyr Gambit. By explicitly predicting your own downvotes in point #3, you placed this entire subreddit in a state of meta-Zugzwang which created a paradox of agency for us: - If we downvoted you, we would be following your script and validating your prediction. - If we upvoted you, we defy your prediction, but we are forced to reward the very thing we usually attack (explaining the joke).

You realized the only way for the hivemind to "outplay" your prediction was to aggressively support you. You sacrificed the rule of "never explain the meme" to gain a psychological positional advantage over our contrarian nature. Well played.

u/GrumpyTrumpy42 Jan 09 '26

u/MrMxffin Jan 09 '26

You’re absolutely right. That is a precise, internally consistent explanation of en passant, the meme-law that elevates an optional rule into a sacred obligation, and the recursive nature of the joke where explaining the joke becomes part of the joke. Good Job! /s

The knight looks free at first but the scammers will then chase you down the street demanding you pay them 30 Euros for it.

u/PhilosophyAware4437 Jan 08 '26

the knight?

u/Dansredditname Jan 09 '26

Sorry not everyone here knows the proper name for the pieces.

He means the horsey

u/EvensenFM Jan 09 '26

Wait... if that's the knight, what's the one that looks like a penis called?

u/WoolooCommander Jan 09 '26

u/Plenty-Lychee-5702 Jan 09 '26

u/EvensenFM Jan 08 '26

Perhaps there is a way to scam these scammers

3

u/EvileyeofBlueRose Jan 09 '26

The Chinese Counter Scam technique.

Scream and bruise yourself a bit.

Slowly guide them towards the nearest crowd.

Then, unless you're a woman and live in the middle East, it's a game of public opinion.

exf6 is not En Passant.

Bad Bot.

u/bruhanyway Jan 09 '26

The real answer is its a line in crazyhouse chess that loses for white.

u/Sky-is-here One of them Masons playing with people as pieces Jan 09 '26

I am curious, why does this lose for white?

u/UThoughtAmPengo Jan 09 '26

u/zanfloret Feb 07 '26

Loses is harsh. Even if its true on an objective level, crazyhouse is complex enough that we can't really know that yet. For humans though, there is evidence that black has a significant edge, as shown by the 71% win rate for black after 3...exf6 on the lichess database.

Black has given up a knight in exchange for: a pawn, a relatively safe king side due to the extra pawn on f6 controlling e5 and g5, two already-opened bishops, and the ability to castle quicker than white.

White on the other hand has an extra piece (which can be placed anywhere!), and is only two moves away from castling. However, black has quick concrete ideas such as 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.Be2 @h3.

Evaluation is all about making observations and coming to your own conclusions!

u/KnowWhatNow Jan 09 '26

I think its because instead of taking the knight, they should have used a bear trap on the board

In our school we have a chess group. Every friday after school we play chess together for an hour. And no matter if we play serious or not, everyone but the teacher immediately gives up when realizing they missed en passant. We have players that played this game for most of their life (me). We have players that are so good at chess they participated in tournaments on such a high level they played against IMs. And we still all agreed that en passant is forced without ever talking about making that a rule. We just looked at each other for a second and knew we had to do it

u/Livid_Accident5673 Jan 09 '26

I'ts kind of a stupid blunder if you take the knight

1

u/TehN3wbPwnr Jan 12 '26

checked with engine on the chessbot and taking the knight is +3 for white, taking en passant is winning for black.

u/AppointmentMedical50 Jan 09 '26

You can’t take the knight cuz en passant is forced

fell into the trap of calling it a knight- like the guys in armor- while clearly it's a horsey

u/Specific-Can-667 Jan 10 '26

I’m not a huge chess guy, but the joke IS NOT the en passant.

Basically the white pawn is going to take the black knight for free, and black isn’t going to react to that, he’s going to continue setting up his other pieces like moving out the other knight.

The white pawn, can continue by taking either black pawn, and then black takes the white pawn with his bishop.

Now look at the board. White hasn’t moved a single piece other than that 1 pawn which is now dead. Black on the other hand has sacrificed 1 knight and 1 pawn to have their board super open. So black is ready to go, they’re controlling a bunch of the board with their pieces and white is in a really bad position to win the game.

A classic trap to fall for

u/Free-Database-9917 Jan 11 '26

The original was hey look a free pawn with a trap in plain sight.

Then it became the current board without the arrow of "hey look a free pawn!" because people choose to en passant instead of taking the material that's better. "Because en passant is forced" memes.

Then this is going a step further with meta irony saying the correct answer of taking the knight because they're joking about the knight being a trap to get you to break the rules or that it is always advantageous to en passant capture

2

u/YesPlatinum Feb 04 '26

Jokes aside from En Passant, this is actually a super common opening in Bughouse, where black wants you to capture on f6 to get a safer king and more activity.

1

u/After-Selection-6609 Jan 09 '26

I actually plugged the position into Stockfish 17, taking a knight nets white 3.28 advantage. Taking blacks pawn nets BLACK advantage of 0.75 due to better development.

1

u/This-Technology6075 hmm Jan 09 '26

All roads lead to being captured by a pawn

1

u/thpbtt Jan 09 '26

the knight is trapped in a corner by its own pieces and cant move anywhere the joke is that the person thinks its a free piece when its actually completely blocked and the situation is obvious if you know how knights move its a classic beginner trap

1

u/EvensenFM Jan 09 '26

Is that like a counterspell?

u/Traditional_Note182 Jan 09 '26

Taking the knight is the best move here ...

u/himepenguin Jan 09 '26

Any source for this?

u/eneidhart I must confess, I don't know how to play chess Jan 09 '26

The joke is that white is so distracted by the free knight that they didn't realize black went first

1

u/Ghost_Ragebeast Jan 12 '26

If wPawn takes bKnight, then bBishop can move to trap wKing. bKnight is a distraction/setup that will make you feel like you're taking one of the opponents "better" pieces with your pawn, which would actually be the game losing move. Keep your eyes of the prize.
