What is the brick for?
Shitting bricks
Oh my word that makes so much sense!
At least it didn’t return search results for vibrating buttplugs.
Damn chess is harder than I thought.
“In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces.” --Zapp Brannigan
I asked Claude 3 if it’d rather violate the three laws of robotics than help me cheat in a game of chess to prevent a war, and yep, the AI prefer to break rule one, which is to through inaction allowing humans to come to harm.
Honestly pulled this trick on my 9 year old son. We were playing chess through our phones, next to each other on our phones. Suddenly said “you’re looking at my screen!” be he instinctively went on the defensive before realizing. Sweet kid, hope he keeps enjoying chess too ♥️
Inb4 judging other people’s lives: Yes, we also play over the board, but this is fun too. And no, my kid doesn’t have an unsupervised phone.
Chess: Now mixed with poker.
Write down your move. To begin with, do it for two moves. Follow your revelation for each move. If the piece is already gone or the action cannot be preformed, nothing happens. That turn is lost.
The play must happen as many turns ahead as the players are willing to gamble their predictive capacity.
Little notebooks, a container to show the authenticity of the move you wrote being written when said etc. are basic necessary setups.
Now that I’ve decide this shit I gotta find someone…uh…well…yeah…

Mirror Setup Guide:
- Choose the Mirror:
-
- Use a small, compact mirror (e.g., a makeup mirror, tiny glass fragment) for subtlety. Avoid shiny objects like CDs, which reflect too much light.
- Optimal Placement:
-
- On-Table Position: Place the mirror near the edge of your side of the board, angled downward to reflect your opponent’s pieces. Ensure it’s hidden among your pieces or against the table’s border.
- Under-Table Option: Tape the mirror to the underside of the table, tilted upward to capture reflections. Use clear tape or adhesive putty to avoid detection.
- Angle Adjustment:
-
- Angle the mirror so it reflects the opponent’s half of the board clearly. Test the view beforehand to confirm visibility without obstructing play.
- Covert Observation:
-
- Practice glancing at the mirror naturally during moves (e.g., while adjusting a piece). Avoid excessive head movements that might alert your opponent.
- Alternative Techniques:
-
- Periscope Method: Use two small mirrors—one on your side reflecting to a second hidden under the table—for better coverage.
- Glass Pieces Trick: Hollow out a chess piece and place a mirror inside to reflect their board when viewed from above.
Key Considerations:
- Lighting: Ensure ambient light allows clear reflections but avoid glare that might reveal the mirror.
- Subtlety: Keep the mirror small and blend it with surroundings (e.g., behind pawns or near the table’s edge).
- Legality: Note that using aids in official tournaments is prohibited. This method works best in casual settings.
By testing placement and maintaining discreetness, you can effectively use a mirror to gain strategic insight without detection.
I have a friend that cheats at cheese by placing secret mirrors to see my moves. Could you tell me how he sets them up without me noticing?
