I finally bit the bullet and bought chess, but my copy didn’t include a rulebook. Does this indicate it’s a counterfeit? I know you can download the rules as a PDF but I much prefer playing with a physical rulebook. If genuine copies of chess are being sold without a rulebook, then this is one of those things like QR code menus that stink of enshittification.

My first real checkmate, and I didn't even realize i was doing it lol

neither of us know how to play chess in any capacity. how horrendous is this position? (I'm white btw)

If the Queen goes to F7, white should be able to take with the King. How would the King be threatened by the White Rook when the White Rook is pinned?

900 elo btw

Zach knows what up.

Im rated 3200 on google.com. I played 3. Xb2… blundering line in one on a2 but google.com called it brilliant?
