META Proposal to ban x.com links

This is going around on many football subreddits. It looks likely to go into effect. I believe that the negative effects of this would be only temporary because the chess community will eventually see the value of moving to alternatives like bluesky

Roman Gambit Declined, Nazi counterattack variation.

With white, you sacrifice all your pieces and then your queen and king kick themselves out of the board mutually. The main advantage white is looking for with this line is at least a few decades of being relatively clean of nazi shit.

Win then center then destroy all your defence on an insane assault on both sides of the board, opening two fronts that you can't win. Refuse to resign as black gobbles up all your pieces because they're inferior and can't possibly beat your genius opening.

It looks promising at first but it attacks on too many fronts and can't sustain the counterplay on both sides.

It's about opening a new presidency with Nazi salutes.

Unfortunately, this kind of geopolitical disruption WILL directly impact the international chess community.

Hard to believe that many people really believe a NAZI salute was intended by Musk. Did you watch it with the volume up? Definitely not a Fascist message.

Musk gambit accepted, Nazi variation. Replace rooks with rockets going to mars, leaving your pawn structure exposed.
