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.

Oh god, please no, that's too real

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

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] velvetThunder@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] IsoSpandy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year 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

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’ll still watch and laugh every time

[–] sag@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Atleast dev didn't add Vanguard.

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

“Spiritual successor”

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

The best review of chess is right here IMO

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

users of the Giant Chess Without Turns mod beg to differ

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This has strong javascript programmers criticising elm vibes for me.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I regret that I wasted time reading most of this.

[–] trucy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

What about chess battle advanced?

[–] emmy67@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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