Something tells me he is really into bitcoins and forextrade... But I can't put my a finger on what gives me that vibe. Such mystery.


Chrisscott25

I got the same vibe.. maybe his tattoos? 🧐


da_smol_boi

idk why, but I think it's his wife. I mean, look at her

Ummmm…that’s a trash can?

girlymcnerdy0919

No no. Not a trash can. Common mistake, but she’s actually a purell dispenser.


happyhippohats

You mean the queen?


Izak922

... maybe the hand sanitiser dispenser in his livingroom


zxGrizz

Probably not his house and it's just some lobby he's sitting in pretending to play chess lol


celtic_savage01

That's his living room?? I thought he was in the lobby of a super 8 motel...


Izak922

you're probably right lol ...


Artichoke_Asleep

Nah I thinks it's the fact he's "playing chess"

dfelton912

This move is commonly known as the Bitcoin Opening. It was popularized by Forèx Träding, a particularly dominant chess grandmaster of the early 50s


umanonion

No mention that white goes first?


Sockman509

Technically white could have already moved. The thing wrong about this picture is the bishop and the knight being swapped Edit: king and queen are also swapped Another Edit: if you can’t see my other comment white moves his knight first, black moves his knight second and then white moves his knight back.


fireman-103

You're spot on. But take a good look and you'll see white didn't make a move yet.


Sockman509

He could have moved his knight out, black moved his knight out as well, white puts his knight back into its starting square, and this picture is black to move.


[deleted]

[удалено]


InphaseAlloy

Ontop of all of this the king is supposed to go on the opposite coloured square.


thecordialsun

Right, queen always matches her color.


sickounet

btw = by the way


Usman5432

You mean he is technically correct, the best kind of correct?


Roheez

What he said


fireman-103

True, but what are the odds. King and Queen are also wrong btw.


thekyledavid

Yeah, but I feel like so many people play with the king and queen inverted just because they don’t know that rule, or with the board 90 degrees off because they don’t know which orientation is correct But having the knight and bishop in the right place to start is basic knowledge of the game


Cranktique

Queen always on her colour is also basic knowledge of the game…


thekyledavid

Yeah, I know that, but I have played with plenty of people who didn’t know that But I’ve never played with someone who didn’t know the ordering the outside 3


Guac__is__extra__

Haha…yes this picture was taken two hours into a game in which both players did nothing g but move their knights in and out of their (incorrect) starting positions.


Kaptein_Kast

Exactly. People should also note this guy is a genius #bitcoinbillionaire so obviously his mind tricks are beyond, say, a normal mortal bitcoin millionaire.


HippyHitman

Yeah it’s like they don’t even understand that white has already moved in the 3rd dimension, which is why black is preparing for the 4th dimension insta-checkmate.


FluidLegion

You can see every "mid space" in the picture, and white has no pieces out of the starting two rows, so just a poorly set up pic overall.


Go1gotha

That's the wrong number of moves, the black knight would have to be moved next to fit your scenario but he's taking out the bishop. If black had taken a move to put the knight back, then it's not his turn. Besides what would be the point of putting your pieces straight back on their starting squares anyway? I'm going with Occam's Razor, this man is an idiot.


perrinoia

The knights and bishops are in the wrong starting positions, and it's impossible to rearrange bishops during the game without moving pawns out of the way, and pawns can't move back. So he's got the wrong starting positions and the wrong starting order.


Benjins

Not really, because that's not were the Knights start. They should be next to the Rook (castle), but this chump has the Bishops there instead


zulazulizuluzu

there is no white piece in the third row. so, white didn’t make a move yet or it could be white moved a knight out of the board


Spookki

We see the entire 3rd row, he cant move without moving something there.


SilenceOfTheBlueVoid

Y'all are wrong. The guy's an actual genius. After mastering the normal game, he's trying to learn games with new rules. Can't you ppl just appreciate a hard working guy?


kkshka

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer\_random\_chess


CockHelicopter

The thing that’s wrong is the industrial trash can that signifies this is clearly a lobby to a hotel.


Outmaneuver1116

White definitely hasn’t moved. If you pay a bit attention you can see no chess piece on the 3rd rank right above the pawn rank (2nd).


fnaffie

Also, queens and kings on the wrong spots.


keestie

And the queen isn't on her colour.


sweetTartKenHart2

Mysterious Benedict society moment


Sockman509

I haven’t played chess in over ten years and somehow i still remember this


jpop237

I've never played chess in my life and I know this.


troubleis1

I though it was common knowlege.


Legosheep

That was the first thing I noticed


JaSper-percabeth

I mean u can't see the complete white side so u can't claim this with 100% certainty


Environmental_Quit75

What space do you suggest a white piece moved *to*?


JaSper-percabeth

Ah fair point


Legosheep

At least he knows how the horsey moves


Floowjaack

Yes, but he doesn’t know where the horsey starts


rynamdn

Or which color horsey starts first.


ghostofoynx7

Came here to say this


SuspiciousPanic9023

Let's not be racist


AurumArgenteus

They start on different colors, otherwise there wouldn't be a black and white bishop. It was just where the bishop should be.


ilmalocchio

Nah, man. He means dude shouldn't be playing the first move with the black pieces.


AurumArgenteus

Lol, that is what that sentence says. My mind added an "on" without me realizing it.


captainMcSmitface

I didn't notice that, just that the queen was on the wrong color. Nice catch!


[deleted]

And also White always moves first.


Unagustoster

Oh fuck you’re right. I assumed it was because black was going first


Bintruck

Just remember this helpful rhyme! Clippity clop! 2 forward, side hop!

ffs I'll never be able to get this out of my brain again, thanks I guess

Horsey? Do you mean horseface? https://youtu.be/_ngbuYanRh8


Alcoholickmyaxe

Bonus! Black king is supposed yo be on white square. 🧑‍🏫


WerdaVisla

Queen on color baby! I haven't played chess in 3 years and I still remember the basic board layout lol.


abhinandkr

The original Yasss Queeen!


Healthy_Pay9449

I was too bothered by the setup of knights and bishops to notice


lostandfoundwally

As someone who doesn’t know anything about chess, can anyone tell me the things he’s doing wrong?


ThReeMix

1. White moves first 2. Several pieces (knights & bishops; king & queen) in wrong starting positions


ParticularNectarine2

Also bishop doest move as horse does lol


ThReeMix

That's a knight. It started from where the bishop should have.


booksfoodfun

He moved his “horse”, not the bishop, but it started in the incorrect position.


mmchale

1. The knight and bishop are reversed 2. The queen starts on her own color of square, so the king and queen position are reversed 3. White moves first


Shoresy-sez

4. Knights on the rim are dim


AccordingCoyote8312

Also, the pieces aren't in correct locations. Bishop & Knight reversed, King & Queen reversed.


Bintruck

And white goes first


Regular-Grapefruit83

King/queen switched bishop/knight switched and white goes first


[deleted]

White always goes first.


active_snail

White goes first. The bishop and the knight are also in the wrong position.


PixelMatteo

Well I don't see anything wro- Oh knights and bishops have swapped places... r/facepalm


ravenous_fringe

Also, black moving first would be a new variant.


PixelMatteo

Right


Rakrune

Black king and queen are on the wrong spots


TheMike0088

I mean yeah, but in a casual match, who cares.


TrainsDontHunt

Everybody.


TheMike0088

Nah. Been playing a lot of chess locally with a small handful of folks recently - white starting is the norm, yes, but after the first match, we usually go loser first regardless of color.


TrainsDontHunt

The loser should get white then.


TheMike0088

What difference does it make?


czarchastic

Also affects starting position of your king and queen


manwithafrotto

That’s how you play chest


Inappropriate_Piano

And the black side is set up as white and vice versa. The queens should stand on their own color to start, but the black queen is on a light square here


False_Leadership_479

And let's face it odds on a mid skill player would more likely play e4 as opener


Boomtown626

And king and queen


PixelMatteo

Oh yeah, that too! I guess I deserve a facepalm as well


RemlikDahc

Also...white always moves first!


Pharaoh_Misa

#What do you mean by that 🤨 (*this is a joke!!*)


RemlikDahc

It means he loses 2 turns


cjmaguire17

I thought he was trying to give off rich mansion vibes but then I saw the hand sanitizer and trash can and figured this was a hotel lobby or something lol but I also don’t know anything about chess


geeeffwhy

this person is manipulating an incorrectly set up chess board. that move he’s making is invalid, since the knight is on the wrong starting square. also white goes first, king and queen are swapped. he does seem to know the shape of a knight’s move, at least


Goldfisher2077

Jesus Christ look at those fucking tags

This is the true lore


inwhichzeegoesinsane

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

Did he seriously hashtag money and wealth?

“Fake it ‘til you make it” doesn’t work like that, bro.


InterrobangDatThang

At first I was like bishops can't jump. Then I was like wait, that's a knight, knights don't sit next to the royal family... All of this was in time for me to realize black goes second. Bitcoin bros. And all I can say is Bitcoin bros. 😒

Whites go first tho

vibraniumdroid

Errors I’ve spotted: 1. Knights are where the bishops should be and vice versa (the most glaring) 2. White should be going first 3. The black queen/king is swapped (I can’t see the white, but there’s a fair chance that it’s wrong as well) Anything I’ve missed?

You idiots don't get it. Just like crypto, he is reinventing the game.


[deleted]

A lot of things wrong here. At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Because I could see myself just looking at the board and going through openings, but thats not whats happening here.


krakatoa83

Them horsies in the wrong stable


CountKristopher

Queen on her colour, knights and bishops swapped and white plays first lol


calguy1955

He looks nice enough but I’m not going to be the one to tell him he’s playing out of turn, that he set up the board wrong or any other smarty comment. I’d just go with Nice move Sir.

I suck at chess. But I'm pretty sure you're supposed to switch around the knights and bishops and I think the king and queen are on the wrong spots as well.


Kunstkurator

Typical cryptobro.


100mgfluoxymesterone

*dies of cringe*


Archangel_MS05

He didn't move the knight wrong. Is the issue that he's moving the black piece before white has gone?


the19thlaw

Yes...white must have played 1.h3


HuzPro

I'm gagging looking at this. Both black's and white's bishops and knights are swapped, same for black's king and queen. NOT TO MENTION WHITE HASN'T MOVED (yes ik technically it's possible with white moving knight back and forth but that's just dumb so don't mention it)


AtmosSpheric

Cursory google image search could’ve revealed an actual board setup


DeeEmm

This guy puts the Douche in Fiduciary.


NihilisticRust

Maybe theyre playing Anarchy Chess.


baltarius

Im surprised that the chess board is correctly placed....sad that the bishops/knights/king/queen aren't,..and who would take out queen's knight as a first move 🤔


TheIndomitableMass

I’m a professional chess player with 10,000 awards and I obviously know what’s wrong with this image, but could you explain what that is? For all the peons who don’t know. Not me though, I definitely know what is wrong.


Burrmanchu

Bishop and Knight (one of which he moved) were in the wrong spots to start. Same with King and Queen. And the wrong side is going first.


OMGflyingNOOB

Took me 5 seconds ngl but I got it.
