i know a clue about cannon fodder
I think that cannon fodder is an achievement that says pieces need to be sacrificed and considered useless. If anyone tries this please tell me
trolled
Ok I finally got it! Cannon Fodder - Captured all pawns before capturing any other piece.
I got it on Magnus 5 and 1/2. When it says capturing pawns, I believe that you only need to capture Magnus's pawns. How many of your pawns are captured is irrelevant. In my game, I captured all 8 of Magnus's pawns before doing a smothers mate. I did not end up capturing any back row pieces, or allow Magnus to capture my pieces. Magnus did capture 6 of my pawns, (two of which were promoted).
I will try to finish Thirsty for more soon, so I can put the picture of all the achievements in the OP. Thanks to everyone who helped with the solving!
told ye guys
@chessercising Check post #26 of this thread. It has the final position of the game. I do not have the pgn if that is what your asking.
@monkeyking4785 Hardly. You contributed no new information that was not already in the forum. See post #39 by fnasse. Your post just reiterates what was already said.
You have no idea what you are talking about @fayfay1

Thank you very much!! Was the last achievement I needed 
No, they have not added a new achievement since last October. I think they discontinued it in favor of working on the "Magnus Trainer" app.

Get checkmated by Magnus 5. A little tedious as Magnus 5 will avoid mating you.
Ah. I just got it. he accidentally mated me when I was trying for a different achievement.

Posting the screenshot for "King of the Impossible." All credit goes to DuranRosique. In my game, I was able to get the achievement by mating Magnus age 7 being down 9 points of material.
@jason2001780 Check post number #26. It has a picture of the position.

lol gg. Just need king of the impossible.
@fayfay1 do you remember your position of who you won? If you do, it would be so helpful please
Another tip, is to get a space advantage on the side he is castled on, build a mating net on the king. And then sack pieces on the other side of the board until you've gone -9 material.
I'm having trouble with that one
