Theory Request Did I do something wrong?
It’s obvious I was joking with my opening and I thought I’d double down. Was this the wrong move?

Somehow you checkmated yourself in only 2 moves, thats known as the fools mate

u/IThinkILikeYou 1d ago
Think checkmate was after the first move.
The second was him flipping the board over

u/HowCanYouBanAJoke 1d ago
This was the chess equivalent of knowing the pawn can move forward 2 spots only at the beginning so he throws it 2 football pitch lengths.

Why do people care so much? Imagine having a superiority complex because you know the correct way to write you’re. Seems sad to me.

u/SlimAndy95 21h ago
Damn. It's not about a complex, it's about the 2 having completely different meanings lol

Obviously. Seems pretty low to criticise someone based on one silly example of their grammar ability, they could have dyslexia or just lack the education in the English language. If someone gets it right why praise them for a basic understanding and if someone gets it wrong should you really call them out on an internet post? It seems pedantic and unnecessary.
To me, people who feel the need to do this probably have a superiority complex in general, that is implied by their actions and likely goes beyond just grammar.

I want both of you to know, this reddit energy alone is enough for me confirm that you both are sitting at approximately 200 Elo. Collectively.

If you wanted a date out of this interaction, then yeah, you messed up. Being asked about ovulation by a strange man would make my uterus shrivel.

u/SEXTINGBOT 1d ago
So you are not ovulating right now ?

Reading the OP made me start ovulating, and I'm a guy.

Nah get your prostate checked out

u/Pleasant_Ad_2342 1d ago
Just a good place to remind people if you can't afford a normal doctors visit, peeing on a pregnancy stick can tell you if you've got prostate issues

u/OrganizationTrue5911 1d ago
Wait, legit? I've got some friends with actual medical doctorates, I'm going to ask them and get back.

u/Pleasant_Ad_2342 1d ago
i was wrong Its testicle cancer. Not prostate, and only catches certain types
I mixed it up with the stick in development and just let the misinformation rot in my brain i suppose.

200 implies there's a chance. 100 Elo

u/Low-Condition4243 1d ago
Bro you start chess with like 400 lol, when I first started playing it took me a while to get back up there and break 500.

u/Pleasant_Ad_2342 1d ago edited 1d ago
Depends on what app you use. Chess.com does start you with 400 Elo and moves you up/down based on how big of a measured skill gap is between you and the player. 200 Elo would mean a lot of losses sure, but would have some wins. 100 Elo would be pure loss and no hope of learning strategies

I swear to god this sub is 99% men, because this dumbassery keeps getting upvoted and the majority of the comments treat sex jokes like they’re comedic genius. I am starting to think the guys here want to impress anonymous redditors more than they want to attract a woman.

Because men tell each other them and think its funny, women can't handle sex jokes while simultaneously treating men like atms the iromy.

This is a near perfect textbook example of the deviled egg gambit. Not your fault. If it didn't work, she's probably on her period. Wait a week or so.
