[@theominouspigeon]

wish they had different themes for the pieces

[@chessthejameswei]

There are drawbacks that involve the pieces! Especially the king, which you need to take to win.

[@theominouspigeon]

@@chessthejameswei whoops, I meant themes like where the pieces and board look different

[@chessthejameswei]

@@theominouspigeon Oh yeah, like 3d pieces and such. I think drawback chess is a pretty small community, but as it grows I could definitely see changes. You could suggest changes in the drawback chess discord server! (found on the website)

[@TheGraphicalHarmonicist]

Some are cool but some are hard like one where you can only move lives to occupied reflected squares.

[@chessthejameswei]

Thanks for watching! What do you mean my lives and reflected squares?

[@TheGraphicalHarmonicist]

@@chessthejameswei Lives is a typo. I meant to say pieces and for example, if there was nothing on e4 I couldn't move to e5.

[@chessthejameswei]

@@TheGraphicalHarmonicist ohh that makes sense and it seems hard.

[@KF1]

Some of these rules are damn hard. Cool variant tho

[@chessthejameswei]

Yeah they're brutal. Thanks for watching!

[@KF1]

@@chessthejameswei I tried and got and a wicked one- no moves adjacent to their pieces. Meaning no pawn break, no maneuvers, lol had to resign a winning position from sheer zug

[@chessthejameswei]

@@KF1 :( That's very unfortunate. What rating did you put?

[@KF1]

I put 1300 because I wanted it to be easy. Just now beat someone who had a very hard challenge. "imrosen" could only move to defended squares, and I went up by two pieces with an attack​@@chessthejameswei

[@chessthejameswei]

Wow that’s hard. Nice win!

[@LostKin69]

"Invalid color" seems a bit racist, drawback chess

[@chessthejameswei]

There are some aspects like that such as white goes first and stuff
