    If you’re looking for legitimate advice, you’re in the wrong community. Anarchychess is for chess memes.

    That said, what my noob brain sees:

    • it attacks white’s c pawn
    • it activates black’s queen
    • it prevents Qa4+, allowing black to castle

    Edit: Qa4, not Qh4

      On top of that it avoids Bg5, pinning the horsey, which could otherwise maybe be annoying. Also, I thing you meant Qa4+ instead of Qh4+, which is the anarchychess idea in this position for white.

        was gonna say maybe white can Qh5 to counter attack the pawn but nope chadhorse is also defending to stop that.

    This move only makes sense in the context of their next planned move. Clearly, they’re going to move d8-d7, going with the King on a Horsey strategy.

    You see, changing your name to ‘Aron’ with one A removes the infamous “A-Aron opening”.

    When the king gets to spend time with his horses, it keeps his suicidal thoughts at bay, keeping black in the game longer. Remember poker? No horses, and a suicide king. Not a coincidence.
