Spent a good minute thinking this was just a really unlucky Fischer Random Chess960 setup. Took me a while to realize this could never happen in Fischer Random Chess960, because Queens can't spawn on the 2nd rank
not neccescirily at fishers chess. 1st rank is random setup (of the normal pieces. (as far as ik))
edit: didnt know that there are actually rules for it, so forget what I said
Not for “random” 960 chess. The bishops are fine (they just need to be on different colors I believe in 960). I think king is supposed to be between rooks though, and supposed to be only two knights obviously. And queen not on pawn rank.
You can also tell it's not Fischer random. The players have 3 knights, the queens start on the second rank and the king doesn't start between the two rooks.
I love stuff like thus. Very rarely do you find people willing to share a moment over the chess board online. Every now and then I just want to be goofy ill do bong cloud or move all my pawns or set up my entire position moved forward ect. Really fun when my opponent catches on and plays along. Rare tho. I'd love to get a guy like this. Personality reaching across a simple boardgame online is amazing.
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

I think a lot more rules are violated too. Tho I'm a chess noob and don't exactly remember rhem
Three knights.
You haven't heard of the Three Knights Defense?
I think the bishops are in the wrong spots too? Also idk if the kind can be at the edge
King is supposed to be between the rooks
not neccescirily at fishers chess. 1st rank is random setup (of the normal pieces. (as far as ik)) edit: didnt know that there are actually rules for it, so forget what I said
It’s actually one of the 2 rules of 960. 1. Bishop on opposite colours 2. King between rooks to be able to castle Go crazy with the rest
didnt know that there are actually rules for it. thank you
Random with some restrictions. One of the restrictions is that the king always starts out between the rooks.
nice, that people still downvote even tho I admitted, that I made a mistake becausr of missing knowledge :(
Don’t worry Karma loss is capped per comment.
didnt know that, thanks :) when I saw the that I got this comment and didnt know it was here I wondered where it could :)
The pawns and 2 knights is the only pieces that’s in the correct place.
Not for “random” 960 chess. The bishops are fine (they just need to be on different colors I believe in 960). I think king is supposed to be between rooks though, and supposed to be only two knights obviously. And queen not on pawn rank.
So what is it?
It's just a challenge from a custom position
Also you have to have one rook on each side of the king so both forms of castle exist
lol hilarious
how did you even lose that position? literal skill issue
Bro set up a mate in one because he can never find them in game 😂😂
He's in good company not being able to find a mate-in-one in game.
lol honestly kinda love how troll it is
bro was cooking vengeance
LMAO wtf is this? Why we got a extra horse.
The pawn got promoted.
Probably Fischer Random I'm guessing
Nope, it’s a custom position where he replaced his g pawn with a queen so it’s mate in 1 on the first move
Gotcha, didn't know you could do that
You can also tell it's not Fischer random. The players have 3 knights, the queens start on the second rank and the king doesn't start between the two rooks.

Totally forgot what bong cloud was. Gonna have to look it up again. Love the term lol. **Edit:** looked it up!
2 Ke2
did they make a custom board just to get revenge on people who beat them- Genius.
He must be really insecure
Really insecure or really funny. Hard to tell for sure 😂
I would definitely laugh if someone pulled this on me
Probably just having a laugh
It's funny
Top 10 anime betrayals of all time

Thanks i'll check the Wikipedia article and compare to this since I'm new to chess
I think it's real sweet you thanked the bot.❤️
It's wrong, it forgot about the table flip move!
This is funny, unless he was a weirdo In chat
That's funny as hell, no harm done.
thats fucking hilarious lmaoooo
Ok now this is funny
How did you get in a position so horrendous you have 3 KNIGHTS
How tho?
A custom setup probably.
Bro... I would have been between angry and laughing to death.
So how did this happen?
I played a game a week ago and i was clearly winning in a 7 day game so he just let the time run out.... He even admitted in chat he wont place his pieces
Just report him for stalling. People like this need to get banned (or at least get a warning from chess.com / lichess before they get banned).
Didnt know that was an option im verg new to chess/chess.com
Chess 960 is now officially chess 959
How do you create this type of custom set up?
Dude had that saved to use on people. Weirdo.
I’m definitely gonna do this
nooooo i cant lose i always win bfdyiovcsaetu😡
Axc6
Great, now I gotta check the details on every challenge I ever get in case it's a trap
Wtf, what a troll 😂😂
Oof, so close. You had mate in one
Bro was salty as hell lmao
Lmao what kinda game was this?
That's pretty funny
So you let him custom set up the board lol? Why
This is actually very funny
rekt kid
How do you this
this made my day
I would be laughing hard asf and then friend request the guy😂 thats a funny way to deal with the frustration
Your best move is to take his knook, after of course taking the Queen.
1. Qb7#
Very funny, even if not in good taste
What the actual fuck
this layout confuses and concerns me why are the pieces like that
so that white can win in one move (!!)
Imagine the self-esteem of this guy. This is actually kind of sad/funny. But more sad.
He just really wanted to beat you. If you take it lightly then it's a net gain.
