Simple counter: Don't be French.
don't be french aristocracy
Counter with the russian defense only if they play the napoleon gambit
If you get to this point it’s far too late.
Generally though if you suspect your opponent is going to be using the guillotine, you want to try and either reduce inequality or increase security.
And for God's sake, don't mention cake.
Why don't they eat cheese burgers if they don't have food
You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France?
A cake?
They call it a Royale with cheese.
oh he's fine, that's just a coronation.... of sorts.
just tell your opponent "en pessant" and Just casually flip the board upside down.
but do it with dignity.
En pissant
As soon as your king gets strapped to the guillotine, you have no more legal moves, and it is a draw by stale mate
You point to the black king and shout: he is one who has power over you! I'm from another country and only here to visit. And you would trigger an international incident! Do you want (non-civil) war?
Convince the opposing pawns to overthrow their own king and recognise that there should be no war but class war.
It appears the pawns already turned, and 2 extra so I'd guess maybe the queen ran off with one of the bishops and became normal pawns for the other side.
Should only be 16 pawns right? 18 I count in the picture
I don't know but somehow the pawns look so cute in this picture
Executing nobles gives you +5 to your Charisma stat, try it today
Let them eat C8.
Should have gone for the constitutional monarchy five moves ago
Make sure they get the bishops to. Religion is far worse.
I'd lob off our own king's head tho.
What are they chopping off? He's already all crown.
Free him from his mortal coil amiright
Yell KIDDING. I was just kidding. You didn't really think I was trying to attack you all this time did you? Gah.
Maybe AI can help
Wonder what the top engine move is here
get him
