Prompt-based fandom events are when you really learn everyone’s colors like you’ll find the people who take the prompt “death” and come up with some smarmy ship-art of character A and character B walking over dead leaves while wearing scarves and drinking hot cider and then you’ll find the people who take the prompt “sunshine” and write how a bright glint of sunshine reflected off the barrel of a gun is the absolute last thing character A sees before taking a bullet to the chest

Ron’s sacrifice

blvnk-art:

We all remember the scene in the first movie of HP when Ron had to sacrifice himself to win the chess game without destroying Harry and Hermione’s pieces.

While I’ve been learning about chess for fun and I love movie production too, I’ve found the chess puzzle that justify Ron’s sacrifice in that scene.

Why am I sharing this? The player (Jeremy Silman) who created the puzzle was NEVER credited in the movies. I know the audience was not interested if the positions were right, but those details are what make a movie different and accurate. In my opinion creating a puzzle (of one of the most difficult logical games) for a movie is like an artist creating a concept art/storyboard, so not receiving credit for it was really unfair.

Besides, it can be fun to solve the problem if you play chess. remember: Harry and Hermione can’t be taken. You can find the explanation/solution here and here.
