Nah, I get that.
You’re taught that pretty young. I can’t believe I’ve got to this age and not heard of en passant.
If someone tried that against me I’d have flipped the friggin’ board. Just…just don’t get me started…

Why do you believe mere pawns should be allowed to dodge the system? They are there to die for the gentry behind them.
En passant is cool.

I’m just going to pretend you moved there.
But…I didn’t move there. I didn’t move there specifically so you couldn’t do that.
I know, but I’m still going to pretend that’s where you moved your pawn.
Okay, I’m going to move my horsey here and pretend that’s where you put your Queen. Is this how we’re going to play now?
No, you can only do it with pawns.
Fine. My pawn pretends your Queen is here.
They both have to be pawns. And you can only do it in this particular circumstance.
You are so making this up. Taking pieces where you wish they were is not how you play chess. Fark this. board flip

A mate of mine got very hot under the collar and accused me of cheating when I played the en passant move. I had to refer him to the rules of chess. He didn’t take it well.

Sounds like a bot generating click bait: THE ONE CHESS MOVE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT.

Imagine doing that to someone that didn’t know it and it being mate…
Unrelated to en passant, though very much Chess-related…
My mate and I bought a small travel Chess set in Glasgow when we were backpacking. We played so, so many games killing time on trains/buses/in cafes etc. that we thought we were getting pretty good at it.
Once we got to Salzburg, we went for a wander and came across the human-size outdoor Chess sets in the gardens there. We decided it would be a good idea to challenge a local to a game (two brains being better than one and all that…)
The game kicked-off, a small crowd of interested onlookers began to build. And we had our arses comprehensively handed to us in about a couple of dozen moves total. Brutal. Humiliating.
Turned out we hadn’t actually gotten better at all… we’d merely gotten used to each other’s moves…

Large Charities engaged in ‘profits for purpose’ which don’t divulge the salaries of their CEOs.
Most of the income of large profit for purpose charities nowadays comes from the public purse, the services they deliver to NDIS and My Aged Care recipients are charged to the government at higher than market prices. While those in the allied health sector actually performing the services earn a pittance.

I agree.
But I’d also hate to see a hotel run by you Billy

Or, if you live in a share house, rent a bedsit or live in a studio apartment.
Recently there was a Thai friend out here as a tourist, wanted to cook for the family, but would only cook outdoors, cooking smells inside the house not in her culture.
i think its if you have a choice to eat in your bedroom vs eating in a historically designated eating room, and you eat in your bedroom, then yeah you’re probably a lunatic
It could depend on the meal companions in a dining room.
