Ethan J. A. SchoonoverMy cat is really not very smart as you can see by how easily she was taken in by the French Defense.
Adding the #ChessWithCats tag at recommendation from @sinituulia !
Sini Tuulia@ethanschoonover Excellent, thank you, now there's a new hashtag for me to follow!
Toni M.Don't you recognize that your cat tries to hypnotize you?
Gezza@mad @ethanschoonover
That is in fact a cold hard stare, because black has tried to pull a fast 3. ... Bb4 while white was still thinking about his third move.

Laniak boop/bop/beep@ethanschoonover is part of the technich
Mark Crocker@ethanschoonover You fool! She's about to pounce. The poor defense at chess was just a hustle to get you within striking distance. 🐅
Devil 
@ethanschoonover still smarter than me
Stefan Eissing@ethanschoonover I propose a new strategy: „Let the Wookie win!“
Dirk Schnelle-Walka@ethanschoonover well, my cat was confused quite early already about a standard opening.
Linda Sgoluppi Artist@ethanschoonover When did she knock them all over?
Erwin Rossen 🔸@ethanschoonover Looks like you cheated and played before your turn! 😅
Geoff 🏴@erwinrossen @ethanschoonover Nah, sneaky feline setup for an en passant in a couple of moves.
penpencilbrush🇨🇦
Mofongo@ethanschoonover How come black has 3 moves but white only 2?
Jeff ♨️ Darcy@raddledotme @ethanschoonover I saw that too, and I think that's why the cat looks surprised. "How dare you try to get away with an extra move?"
Arcaik@Obdurodon @raddledotme @ethanschoonover This is a valid position: 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Kd2 Ke7 4. Ke2 Ke8 5. Ke1 Bb4+
@Arcaik @raddledotme @ethanschoonover It's reachable that way[1], yes, but I'll bet that's not the way it's usually reached in practice (or was in this case).
[1] BTW there are much simpler ways, that others have already pointed out.
Jzero@ethanschoonover Easy to win when you're cheating (either moving twice in a row with black, or not giving white the first move).
@GuerillaOntologist @ethanschoonover Also it's not wining at all.
Mikko KarvonenHang on, she moved one of the pawns twice to get to d4-e4? I can only shake my head in disbelief and disappointment.
@ethanschoonover Please, it's not too late to implement, create whole cloth or add a tag like hashtag ChessWithCats, I desire to see everyone's cats playing chess!
Crystal_Fish_Caves@sinituulia @ethanschoonover then we are on to Dogs playing Poker
@sinituulia oh this is a good idea!
@sinituulia Added that tag!
fincheMaybe dhe is a lot smarter than you might think. What a dumb idea it would be shuffling around some things not eadable nor worthy hunting down?
Twotired@ethanschoonover Yeah? Which one of you cleans out the other’s litter box?
@ethanschoonover I am pretty smart and just love games. My mind playing chess; -------> so ill move here then they will do that then Ill move this which will leave my king exposed then it's checkmate and I can get on with my life.

NEPŘÁTELSKÉ EMOCE 🇺🇦🇨🇿@ethanschoonover cc @ljs a friend of cats with slow wits but big hearts
ljs@lkundrak @ethanschoonover We have a single household brain cell that me, my wife and our cats share.
Bracken@ethanschoonover She definitely wanted a tempy there pushing the same pawn twice.
Kevin RussellReally pissed you used it again too.

@ethanschoonover You'll be eating your words when she uses En Pawsant on you.
