      Well, so you mean that if you lure a piece away from a good square and it ends up on another square that ain't that bad either, then it's a deflection? But if it moves to a bad square, then it's a decoy?

    • @trollermcgeetv
      @trollermcgeetv Před rokem +1

      @@perpetualbystander4516 No, what I mean is that when you lure a piece away from a good square, (let's say the piece is lured so it stops defending something important like a checkmate square or a major piece), that's a deflection. But a decoy is something where a piece is lured to a bad square (let's say it's the king) and it gets lured into checkmate. In other words, a deflection prevents a piece from doing something important whereas a decoy pushes or lures a piece to where it can be trapped or captured.

    Idea for Vs Martin (bot). You have to move the same type of piece twice in a row. For example if you move a pawn on move 1, then you have to move a pawn (any pawn) on move 2. Then on move three you can play any move, but for move 4 it has to be the same type of piece as for move 3.

  • @rolandsz8831
    @rolandsz8831 Před rokem

    11:09 I think e4 Kxe4 Bh7+. The king has to move to e3 or f3, but Rd3 forks the king and the queen and is defended by the bishop. If Qxd3 then Bxd3. If Kxd3, then the g pawn is faster than the f pawn. If the king does not take the bishop, seems like the f pawn is faster, but the bishop covers the f1 promotion square. Not that beautiful than the best moves, but this was my guess
