Chapter 677:

Old Rock Day game [Special]

En Passant Grandmaster


Now before we reveal the answers, I'd like to first celebrate Old Rock Day.

"Old what!?" Kisha fumed.

Don't worry, this will be fast. We just need to change the date to the 7th.

"That's 5 days from now!"

This segment isn't fully canon. Now, magic, and it's Old Rock Day here, or at the very least, we'll say it was Old Rock Day 2024 when the game I'm about to show you was played. That'll keep things easy timeline wise. Kisha, want to try and earn bonus points? Then solve this puzzle. A4, h5, rook a3, rook h6, rook h3, rook a6, rook captures h5, rook captures a4, rook h8, rook a1, rook captures g8, rook captures b1, h4, a5, h5, g5, h captures g6, en passant, rook captures c1, g7, rook captures d1, check, and king captures d1. Kisha, Black's next move?

"D5?"

No. That's the best move to make, but in this game, Blacks next move was rook a6, allowing rook captures f8, checkmate.

"... THE FUCKING HELL!? I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT!"

And it was played between... a rock, rated 200, and a stone, also rated 200.

"How the fucking hell?"

Rock powers. Now join us next time for the answers to the bonus round.
