Chess

If you advance your queen early in the game I will hate you forever.

My cousin floated the idea of a chess drinking game a while back. With shot glasses as the pieces. I did the math and found that, even if you make the pawns a shot of beer, that’s a potentially lethal amount of alcohol on the board.

All the more reason to not loss.

Here’s a couple cool games I just played. First one machine was set to 1000, second it was 800.  
 

@UrbanMysticDee  
I wish I had the time to play again.

@Havoc  
I just finished a game in 6 minutes, it doesn’t take that long. Even if you have 20 minutes a day it’s better than nothing.

@UrbanMysticDee  
I code, draw, read, and work 4 hours.

@Havoc  
You presumably have at least one day off a week. That opens up 4 whole hours a week for chess.

@UrbanMysticDee  
Point.

train yourself to play chess in your sleep. Problem solved.

This was probably the most fun game I’ve played in a long time.  

Here’s a fun idea for a custom chess set. This is only my side, there is nothing special for the opponent’s side.
 
Why are the unicorns standing in for the bishops instead of the horse-shaped knights?  
Because I already have knight figures and nothing else can perform magic.
 
If I despise Glimmer so much why do I have a Glimmer figure?  
To practice ridding myself of hatred.

Automated Chess - Losing to a Ghost
 
Here’s three videos on an amazing automated chess board called Square Off. It’s rather expensive and requires fancy e-lectronic devices that I don’t have that are also rather expensive, but it’s amazing seeing the pieces move by themselves and connect people around the world.

A lot of these chess puzzles are bullshit. There are multiple solutions.
 
“Huh, huh, huh, you’re supposed to pick the BEST solution.”
 
Okay, do I get the full 5 minutes I’m allowed in a legal tournament game?
 
“No! You only get 10 seconds or even if you get it right you still lose!”
 
So you’re telling me the puzzles are designed to make me lose even if I get it right on purpose because they’re bullshit?
 
“Apparently.”

That looks like the result of slamming a Shogi board into a Chinese Chess board and calling it good.

I just won in 11 moves, my quickest victory ever.

Today is International Chess Day.
 
Chess is the only board game that got its own Broadway musical, which was optioned for a movie a decade ago and then nothing happened.
 
If Water Polo is the sport of kings then Chess is the sport of emperors or better.

@Acres  
Does Chess2 specify exactly how the horsey moves?

@ANoobis  
One of the pieces is white. That’s racist. They would have to cast the white piece as something else.
 
Also Bishops? Christian. That’s racist too. They should be Imams.
