For the uninitiated, Blue Prince is greatly inspired by and partly developed with the author of MAZE, a puzzlebook from the 80's.

I was reading a bit about Christopher Manson, and came across a list of books he has written. In this list two works released back to back immediately stood out to me becuase of their names. "The Crab Prince" from 1991 and "The Marvellous Blue Mouse" from 1992. I couldn't find any details online about them ever having been brought up in relation to Blue Prince before so I figured it might be worth mentioning here. Although feel free to tell me if you think I am crazy for trying to make a stretch like this work.

I unfortunately don't have access to either of these books, so if somebody would like to see if it is available at their local library or something like that it would be very much appreciated if you think there might be something to this.

In response to me forking his king and rook with my knight, he blocks my knight's attack with another piece... Knights can't be blocked, they jump over other pieces.

This game is literally unplayable.

Sincerely,

Somebody who has competed in too many chess tournaments to enjoy this minigame.

Hello! I was reading a bit about Proxima Centauri d and came across a factoid stating that its magnetic field is many times stronger than that of earth at around 16 gauss. I was wondering what exactly the implications for this are as pertains to life? Both theoretical lifeforms that might develop on such a planet and challenges for human colonization and terraforming. What would happen if earth's magnetic field were to double in strength overnight?
