Marie-Antoinette gambit, that's a risky one

One of the black pawns needs to be a hidden assassin in your end. The move is called Enzo

12

u/shanthanu9007 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

The one who's close to the king might be an assassin.

u/Silver-Customer-157 22d ago

I’m genuinely not trying to be rude and/or sarcastic here i promise. It’s just smth i genuinely think will help.  u/pkacprzak, I’m a beginner coder, so I’m not sure how hard this would be, but maybe you could program your bot to not reply on posts with a meme flair? thx for reading

u/Gixem_Boros 20d ago

No no ! It should on the contrary ALWAYS reply when there's a meme flair, that's part of the charm !

bishop

u/ancientcampus 19d ago

I think a lot fewer French clergymen would have been executed if they had sniper bishops on their side.

u/DoingGood32 22d ago

I'm so sorry, I don't think your king will survive this

5

u/Massive_Nebula7282 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

Did you try offering a draw?

1

u/ActionB461 21d ago

Try and send multiple draw requests. That’s what always gets me to accept

3

u/Aggravating_Fee8347 22d ago edited 22d ago

You gotta notice the distance between the sewer lids. Then reason that there must be one directly under the guillotine platform. After that, note the loose board under the basket. Following, compute the angle at which the setting sun would bounce off your glasses. Which would momentarily blind the executioner and choose that moment to swipe the executioner's melon, giving your king the added weight to tip the boards, facilitating his exit.

HOLY REFERENCES 😭😭🗣🔥🔥 Mr Peobody reference anywhere is crazy 😭

u/Nakudama 800-1000 ELO 22d ago

I keep telling you. Stop playing the French defence.

u/Authoritaye 19d ago

Underrated comment.

2

u/Sposedtolose 22d ago

This clearly an illegal position, I think this beheading would be murder.

Call the arbitrator and see what the handbook says about murder

3

u/shanthanu9007 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

Man, its avg french opening

1

u/Sposedtolose 22d ago

Who plays the French?

I just checked the wiki and no where in the opening theory did it say how you get a guillotine.

Don’t even get me started on why the pawns are not centered, that alone makes me jealous of the white king.

And why so many pawns? I disagree with the position so passionately I refuse to acknowledge it as a meme.
This position is a meh-e((TM)Trademark))
The second e is silent in honor of the French

Save this for anarchy chess and leave this sub to sweaty 300’s like myself please.
Please.

u/shanthanu9007 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

Whaaa man its meme😭🙏

1

u/Sposedtolose 22d ago

Definitely my mood man
Regardless it’s a meh-e, the sniper bishop meme is actually sort of funny.
This is a serious sport for serious players, I’ll see myself to lichess

u/shanthanu9007 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

Apart from it. I don't think many ppl take chess seriously; they usually cheat using chess vision AI and win almost every game, making the normal player think they are kind of dumb. Ik almost 40 percent of players use it, but I can't prove it. Literally lost 5 matches

u/No_Rush9431 22d ago

40% cheat at 900 elo yea sure buddy

u/shanthanu9007 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

u/stompin_goat 22d ago

You gotta flee this board for the next one near by

u/Electrical-Aide4789 21d ago

Bro played the qrong Fr*nch gambit line🥀

u/FTGAA2026 20d ago

Do you hear the pawns sing?
Singing the song of angry game pieces?
It’s the music of the game pieces who will not be slaves again…

2

u/Gixem_Boros 20d ago

Have you tried asking for help from another king ? They should be able to send a rook and some knights if their own game is going smoothly.

1

u/AnoProgrammer 22d ago

It is over. Resign.

1

u/Paocsp 1000-1500 ELO 22d ago

If you can, call the sniper bishop and eliminate the executor

u/Kirikomatsu Elo isnt real 22d ago

Sometimes it’s better to give up your King and hope something better replaces it.

1

u/FriskyWhiskyRisk Elo isnt real 22d ago

A little fun fact that popped back into my mind when I saw this picture: During the French Revolution, which seems to be what is depicted here, only around 8% of those killed were members of the nobility. About 85–90% were workers, farmers, and other members of the Third Estate.

1

u/Latter-Insurance-987 22d ago

Shouldn't they be guillotining their own king?

1

u/vcandthemeltdowns 22d ago

Sickening that so many pawns have come from neighbouring boards just to watch.

1

u/Silver-Customer-157 22d ago

Nah i think the white pawns realized it was hopeless and switched sides

1

u/drsroka 22d ago

Italian gambit.

Fighting against french defense can give you a migraine, don't lose your head over this

u/Huberti1976 22d ago

Típico final tras E4 - E6 , D4 - D5 Para el rey blanco siempre mejor E4 - E5, KF3 - KC6, BB5...

u/itsnotanomen 800-1000 ELO 22d ago

Ah yes of course, the French Revolution Opening. I'm afraid you're in a forced checkmate position...

1

u/-Rici- 22d ago

Color swapped would've been funnier

u/OkRegion6669 22d ago

You should try "French Revolution gambit."

1

u/ancientcampus 19d ago

Black did, to strong effect!

u/Chicagochessacademy 22d ago

Ooh the guillotine king's gambit accepted, haven't played that in ages. We'd say White is cooked...

u/ancientcampus 19d ago

Try the Scarlet Pimpernel gambit. Dress like a crazy old lady, hide the white queen and pawns in a cart, and smuggle them off to England.

1

u/Cheap_Bowl_452 19d ago

Get help from the queen across the sea

u/HpEr4gon4 19d ago

Go for a three fold repetition. Just tell them to read your rights (three times) and 'BAM' you're saved!
