I've tried searching for this previously with no luck. I think I've just worked out that there are 37,998 possible unique moves that you can write in algebraic chess notation.

This was tricky to work out, especially with Bishop disambiguations, such as Ba1xb2+.

Let me know if there's any mistakes!

Hey all,

I am currently trying to set up a monthly tournament, which raises money for the Against Malaria Foundation, basically the most effective way you can give money to charity.

The idea is to set up a tournament where everyone can donate, and some portion of that goes to the top-3 placers. Something like 1% of the donations can go to lichess, and the rest will go to the Against Malaria Foundation.

I have no social media presence, so need some help getting this off the ground. Please join this team and we can get the ball rolling.

For context, $5 protects 2 kids from malaria and in 2022 there were 6

My wife loves the audiobooks of Terry Pratchett that feature Granny Weatherwax. What could I get as a nice surprise for Christmas?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if you guys can relate but I'm pumped up on adrenaline and meth right now and need to get this off my chest.

Recently I've noticed there's certain things my opponent do that really piss me the fuck off. Just now I was playing with my 2 year old daughter when she proceeded to dribble milk all over the board. Like what the fuck? How am I supposed to remember my 25 moves of Najdorf prep if you're gonna spit on the board and suck a pawn like it's a pacifier?

I'm 600 so good enough to recognise that this is something specific. Like recently I played a homeless dude in a park and he threated to shank me if I didn't give him a blowjob. Totally broke my concentration and he crushed me
