What exactly does my opponent mean by "mating with the queen"?

That is an impossible position because it is white to move, yet black is checkmated.  I had been making a joke similar to those of previous postings.  Take a look at the first page or two to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

By accident I forgot to change it to black to move. But that's checkmating with the queen.

I understand that, but my post was a joke to the original post in this thread.

Okay.

After you fork the queen with your knight, he has to not make a move for two turns, kind of simulating having a smoke. Isn't that the accepted house rule?

chasm1995

Yes.  There is also a rule stating that you cannot move a piece to a certain square unless I accept that move.  For that reason, I have beaten Magnus Carlsen in two moves following those rules.

Wow!

That's cool!

Thank goodness! I have been searching everywhere for a serious thread where I can get help with my question (believe it or not, every other thread I went to is full of immature jokers): my opponent took his queen out in the opening, but all the higher rated players I know tell me that's not allowed. Is this a bug in live chess? 

chasm1995

Yes.  You have been malinformed, though, because you are forced to move the queen on your first move.

AlCzervik

Many that are malinformed move the queen early.

Dude, look at the first couple pages and you will see that this is a big joke.

Okay...

Daniel1883, when you hover above a player's avatar, you see their rating.  Most of the people posting are rated at least 400 points above you, and they therefore make a joke out of asking you stupid questions and giving stupid answers, myself included (but not for the rating part).  Thake the entire forum as a joke to the original post and you will see from our point of view.
