    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.

    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.

    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.
