That's geopolitics for ya.

Man was playing 4D chess
Here's the original source: Perry Bible Fellowship - Endgame
PBF comics don't update regularly anymore, but they're pretty great. It's worth your time to check out the backlog if you never have.
Perryfellow, for any one who doesn't see the watermark in the left bottom panel. (Like me)
As a Chess nerd, I'd like to point out the chessboard is wrong in the third image
A pawn also magically disappears in the second image.
Who did you steal this from?
this one actually links the source. (the original has no watermark)
maybe beep has had a change of heart?
No the .world admins started looking into him and told him to knock it off while moving forward on installing a new mod or two if Lawrence doesn't respond to the admin PM. Including ignoring the 2 posts per day rule. Source is the lemmy.world support comm. His guts are still rotten he's just on a short leash now and knows it.
He still cropped the title of the comic. And believe me when I say it was on purpose. Repeat offender and all that.

as far as I can tell, this is the state of the board before the cat knocked away the pieces?
Damn, mate it 1.
chess noob here. white to play, king to e3 is forced, wheres the mate?
Ah i just glanced and assumed lmao.
There is forced mate in 3 tho (Qf3, Ba6, Qd2)
I think the board is wrong. The f8 bishop is actually on e8 in the comic, which means the other bishop should be on black - possibly on a7 protecting the knight (can't see that side of the board).
The OP linked was posted by the artist without a signature.
EDIT: I take it back. Look in the far right of the bottom panel, and you'll see the link.
While I agree generally, best I can tell that's not the case here. The cited source is the OC and doesn't include a artist signature.
There are a lot of people who will continue to support this user either because they don't know the user was removing attributions from the stuff they repost, or because this one doesn't do that so it's okay.
Giving them any support will cause them to continue that behavior (and they will continue to break the 2 post limit on this community).
This seems like something the mods should enforce
I don't disagree. But Lemmy doesn't have the same kinds of mod tools as other platforms like reddit. So it's up to us to report behavior that's against the rules, and even then it's up to the mod to be active in the community so they know what's going on. There isn't an algorithm or automod to fall back on and the mod of the comics community is ... absentee at best.
The link is on the right edge of the bottom right panel. It's pretty close to the background color.
