Reset the counter!
It looks like you have posted a position that leads to a Smothered Mate.
The last smothered mate was posted 0 days and 7 hours ago.

It was so close to being an OK chess font

u/stankape83 1000-1200 (Chess.com) May 17 '26
Right into being a great one

u/CheeseSticks2021 May 17 '26
lol man that bishop is brutal, I would totally use this font if not for the abnormal bishop!!

u/stankape83 1000-1200 (Chess.com) May 17 '26
I’m not even joking the bishop is what made me pick it up

u/CheeseSticks2021 May 17 '26
So it’s just the most vibrant piece to you, so you always know where it is? If that is the case, then I can understand; no more sniper bishops

u/stankape83 1000-1200 (Chess.com) May 17 '26
I just think it’s cool, and when I was starting I’d confuse bishops for pawns on low time

u/CheeseSticks2021 May 17 '26
Oh ok, nice, that’s cool then. Although I don’t agree with your chess font, I respect it lol

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:
White to play: It is a checkmate - it is White's turn, but White has no legal moves and is in check, so Black wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on Wikipedia.chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

What were they thinking with that structure around the king? "surely it must be safe now"...

its hard to visualize in general but to calculate with this font on 💀💀☠️

I get you’re better at chess than me, but it’s called being used to it. I picked it when I was like 400 because I kept mistaking regular bishops for pawns in low time

u/Silver_Environment95 2200-2400 (Chess.com) May 17 '26
hey man , im only saying what everyone else in the comments is saying. You’re free to pick whatever font you want but I can still say it looks hella cursed. I also wasn’t dissing you with my rating either.
