He "castled"

I always promote to the other color, for the challenge. Or at least I DID until someone drew attention to that loophole.

>en passant
It's a glitch

>play chess irl
>do an en passant
>"uh wtf u cant do that bro, pawns dont move like that"

do the kings and queens have to face each other?
thought the king should be on the right on each side

Please explain what the right side white bishop is achieving, wouldnt it make 200% more sense for it to be one block more to the right diagonally?

>he moves pawns two squares on their first move
>he calls the vizier "queen" and moves it like a rook and bishop
>he moves the rooks and bishops wherever he wants and not exactly two squares ahead at a time
You didn't beat the game

>stalemate
You didn't beat the game.

Yes they do. They're mirrored, not rotated.

checkers or chess?
which one is more fun?

>Opponent surrenders
You didn't beat the game

Covering the knight and the attacking pawn on the right cant threaten as the knight can capture it. left-side pawns are frozen because the bishop can see the rook. at least thats my thought

You just lost the game.

>game follow specific rules excluding ONE specific situation
Why would they do that?

>the queen can go in any direction everywhere she wants
god i hate women

It's a legacy mechanic, pawns used to not be able to move two squares on first move. When it was introduced as a rule it made a lot of people mad that their old strategies would be obsolete, so they allowed en passant so old strategies could still be played. Something like that anyways, it had to do with changing how pawns moved while not alienating old strategies.

I miss him

>Forced a stalemate when you were losing

Checkers is for boys and Chess is for men

Promoting is basically summoning.

Bg2 puts it on the long diagonal (fianchetto), which is strong in general but less so here because it's blocked by the white knight and black pawns. Bh3 is also a reasonable move; it gives the bishop immediate control of more squares, but leaves it hanging, whereas g2 is defended by the king.

nu stands for Nubian.

no one is good at chess, but you get less worse the more you play

Is this actually fun or just a meme?

Chess
if both players are good enough Checkers will always end in a draw

Andrea is still the best waifu in the game, and probably one of the most well-written female characters in a long time

Chess is trash even if you play well.
There's only a few places you need to be, in order to win.
The game is a simple childs game, used to teach the relations of court politics.

Its not ment to be some super good game.
Its easy and simple. Draging out a loss is just as childish as the game is.

Anyway its easy enought to break a castle.
You are also better off not knowing how to play.
Then your not seen as a threat to others who can't play either.

That's only following the buff patch. Originally the Queen was the Ferz and worked like a Pawn only it could only move diagonally instead of only forward moves.
