Please switch to OpenChess, it is open source, community supported, and free. Yes it lacks some key features that chess has, namely pawns and rooks, but but there are several promising forks of the project that are working on these pieces.

It all went to hell when they started pandering and removed the Queen's giant knockers and made it the most powerful piece.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

But... the knockers were what made it the most powerful

Gary chess has been too busy working on chess2 with magnet cumstain since you were going pipi in your pampers

I'm on that Chess3 shit now. They have B-52s in that shit.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Nobody listen to him. What he calls "Chess3" is going out to an abandoned crack shed where he's going to do nothing but blare "Love Shack" while making you play at gunpoint.

Fourth worst chess experience of my life, wouldn't even let me play Rock Lobster.

Ah, yes. The Chess Company. Chess Co. Founded by Robert Chess.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Robert Chess is a fraud. The real master mind behind chess was Thomas Chess. His brother just stole his idea and ran with it

I still hate Clint Stealing. The founder of stealing. The world didn't deserve this cruelty.

Meanwhile algorithms were invented by a Persian scholar Muhammad Algorithm

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Not true, Thomas Chess has as much claim as Robert Chess regarding ownership since the roots of the original can be traced back to the notes of their father Sir Gary Chess the First.

The line is quite well preserved within the Chess family but internal conflicts are known to occur

Last week I was playing chess at the local park and encountered a mayor bug. I would have reported it but it crawled alway

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I thought it was based on the video game Battle Chess from the 1980s. WTF Nintendo?

I’ll still watch and laugh every time

Atleast dev didn't add Vanguard.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

What are you talking about, dude? They just patched that bug that let you castle along the file.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

To be fair there is chess evolved online with over 500 different pieces and chess piece lootboxes if you want a more modern take on the classic game

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

“Spiritual successor”

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

The best review of chess is right here IMO

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Not to mention the devs mega simped right before they left.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

And.dont even get me started on problematic collabs. I mean come on, Harry Potter?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

users of the Giant Chess Without Turns mod beg to differ

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Inaccurate. They patched the vertical castling exploit in the 70s.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Holy shit outerheaven, haven't heard about this instance in a while

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

What about chess battle advanced?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

This has strong javascript programmers criticising elm vibes for me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I regret that I wasted time reading most of this.

One real reason to boycott them is that they aren't trans friendly.
