>white goes first How the hell has this game not been canceled?

I despise turn based shit with passion
Ryder Thompson
It leads to funny situations among low rated players where someone is clearly about to win but they don't know how to checkmate so they end up blundering into a stalemate.
Camden Collins
you don't even get chess by the looks of it

>balanced beginning >get in a unfavorable situation after many turns >can't escape unless paying the price of his bad strategy >HURR GAME IS SHIT you just got outplayed in a turn-based game, that's the catch
Camden King

Stop making this stupid bait thread about your shitty board game.

Maybe don't allow your king and queen to be forked next gamr, you dumb retarded grills nigger.
Joseph Walker
Fun fact: White moving first wasn't formalised until the late 19th century. The Immortal Game, for example, had Black move first.
Juan Flores
I know this is a bait thread but I cannot even fathom what user is trying to imply here. Is he pretending to be mad that the game isn't letting him actively lose? I do not understand.
Samuel Evans
You can still win this game and take his knight on the next turn. Start moving your pawn up and hope he forgrtd about his bishop then your rook can move forward. The right side of the board is blocked but even without a queen YOU can still hold the left side of the board

Christian Sullivan
it's because of this retard rule (that didn't exist in the past) where the king can never "fall" on board, his fall instead being implied by the checkmate so if you can never send your king into suicide (illegal move lmao) and the enemy player can never kill your king and instead needs to autistically checkmate instead, scenarios where there are no legal moves left are inevitable and must conclude into draws for whatever reason
personally i always ignore this dogshit rule when i play with my mates
