If I use an invoke command on another piece, do I need to specify the direction of movement, or the end space, or do I just invoke upon a particular piece?

Nobody Special · Post Post #68 (isolation #14) » Tue Jun 09, 2015 8:29 am

So, is the invoke command a separate command that we don't yet know exactly what it does, or does invoking just move a piece in the way it normally moves?

(Sorry for so many questions.)

No, just logic.

Apostle: Invoke g6-f6

(If I need to specify, it's the Apostle at f8)

In post 0, JerryArr wrote:An invoke can consist of one or more moves for OTHER pieces. A piece that uses an invoke command does not move itself.

Question: Does the above explicitly rule out the existence of a non-invoke move for a piece that has the ability to invoke?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Nobody Special · Post Post #86 (isolation #21) » Thu Jun 18, 2015 10:47 am

I am unable to make the chessboard in the first post go back in moves, to look at things.

When I made my move 12, was the Phalanx there (like it is now), in the path of the move?

Related, and I don't know if you're able to answer this, if the Hopper able to capture pieces? If so, how?

Nobody Special · Post Post #88 (isolation #22) » Thu Jun 18, 2015 6:36 pm

Sorry for not specifying: I meant the Phalanx at f5.

Can a Hopper capture? If so, can you tell us how?

I see.

Okay, I have to think on this for a tiny bit.

This is the one part of chess that I loathe: I never know when it's truly appropriate to resign.

Nobody Special · Post Post #211 (isolation #56) » Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:44 pm

If that's valid (I'm reasonably sure it is):

f8-f7

Nobody Special · Post Post #215 (isolation #57) » Wed Sep 02, 2015 4:48 pm

If valid:

g8-f8

Nobody Special · Post Post #221 (isolation #58) » Fri Sep 04, 2015 3:05 pm

Wait, what?

Nobody Special · Post Post #222 (isolation #59) » Fri Sep 04, 2015 3:06 pm

f8-e7

The only move I imagine I have.

Nobody Special · Post Post #225 (isolation #60) » Sat Sep 05, 2015 7:14 am

e6-e8

In the interest of time, will you accept an ordered list of potential moves?

Nobody Special · Post Post #227 (isolation #61) » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:03 am

So, given that I thought that I had already tried any possible moves, let's shed our assumptions and think outside the box!

In this order, please:

f8-e8

f8-g8

f8-g7

Hopper x Backup Dancer (c8)

f7-e8

f8-f6

The Craven captures Backup Dancer (c8)

Nobody Special · Post Post #228 (isolation #62) » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:04 am

If none of those work, I seriously have no clue, because I then, obviously, don't know how the pieces are allowed to move.

I am curious why f8-g8 would be invalid.

Nobody Special · Post Post #237 (isolation #65) » Sun Sep 06, 2015 1:58 pm

f8-g8

If invalid, then

f8-e7

Nobody Special · Post Post #239 (isolation #66) » Sun Sep 06, 2015 2:44 pm

I hope so!

I'd like to be one of the spectators.

Nobody Special · Post Post #243 (isolation #67) » Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:22 am

If valid (and not checkmate):

Hopper captures Backup Dancer (e8)

Nobody Special · Post Post #245 (isolation #68) » Tue Sep 08, 2015 12:53 pm

Pretty sure this won't work, but worth a try:

e6-f8

If invalid, then:

g8-g7

This

shouldn't

work, but if it does, I think I know why.

Dearest Mist;

Unless you would like to continue, or to see how various pieces react to various moves, I would like to resign.

Please let me know soonest.

Love,

NS

The King's capture confuses me.

Nobody Special · Post Post #260 (isolation #74) » Sun Sep 13, 2015 4:13 am

Yeah, after reading the PT, it had to have been a c/p error.

I never would have figured out some of those, although I wish I'd thought through the name "Backup Dancer." I could've used another Queen.

I'm a little disappointed they didn't have any commentary as we played, though. I would've been cackling with evil delight watching the players struggle.
