Tsume problems with long winning lines will be posted here daily. They are primarily created as study material for myself and are generated algorithmically, with solutions checked for optimality and uniqueness. I plan to compile them later into books available for download in various formats (PDF and EPUB).

This is a separate account from my main one, dedicated to this side project (see @baruchel for my main account).

Problems will also be available as an RSS feed: https://mastodon.social/@minishogi.rss

Any chess position with 8 pieces on the board and at least one pair of opposed pawns has been solved! Lichess can now tell you definitively if it's a win, loss or draw with no engine required. Read about the massive technological undertaking to accomplish this partial 8 piece tablebase on our blog:

Wow, this is cray cray, proving in a major way the meme started by xkcd is absolutely true. Seems that "sudo", the function that allows super user administration level commands to be enabled on millions of computers running Linux & BSD, including most of the servers that enable vital data centers and "clouds", has actually been maintained over the past 33 years by a single developer. And that this developer is now asking for help, and/or cash money, to allow them to continue to maintain it. Here's hoping that some peeps step up, because that is way too important of a thing to let become insecure or buggy.

Fellow fedizens! As decreed by https://xkcd.com/843/ some fifteen years ago, it is once again time to spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions.
