Chess, But Your Opponent Can Cheat

[@carpedm9846]

I love the way the rules are written. They perfectly convey the pedantic fae vibes of "you have not avoided giving gifts at noon, afternoon, or midnight despite being given fruit and apple." Wheter its "horse did not canter trot or gallop" or "pawn moved big mindedly", really conveys the tone and provides immersion

[@davidpereira5969]

Yeah the absurd and stupid ways the rules are written its great, either on the book or when acusating

[@lol-yz8fh]

they missed an opportunity where when you accuse someone of jumping to say: black ____ is not him

[@olivercharles2930]

[@randomt_1468]

This must be what learning chess is like when you’ve never played chess

[@masonbarber871]

Bad chess player here, can confirm. Pawns can't move backwards, they capture different than their move, promote at the far edge, can do a double move, can do en passent, there is castling but only if those pieces haven't moved, repeating patterns are suddenly a draw, you don't actually capture the king, and all of that is before starting to talk about the literal thousand years of history, strategy, openings, endings, etc. This "advanced chess" almost feels easier.

[@gboster1331]

@@masonbarber871 What do you mean pawns can't move backwards, they specifically have taken their backwards moving medicine in 1954 that allowed them to in fact move backwards at the expense of getting a heart attack when reaching the furthest spot on the board

[@aguyontheinternet8436]

I agree with Tyler attempting the saint run

[@doran2003]

it might be fun to play this against another Human with each player having half of the Rule book. you could have hundreds of rules that get randomized every game. it would be playing chess as if you never played it before with each move being potentially legal or not forcing you to guess what rules your opponent has and which would be impossible with the Rules you have.

[@aabbccddeeff782]

I think it's very interesting to look for cheatless run. It forces you to play differently so that you are less vulnerable when you get cheated (e.g. rook jump all the way to your backrow). I think pawns are actually the most OP piece in this game, so make sure to keep a few unmoved to guard cheating. Keep your other pieces near pawns as well to react accordingly

[@Kogarana1]

Actually, I think the Bishop are the best in this variant. Olexa took advantage of them in his cheatless run: their ability to go outside the bounds of the board gives them amazing flexibility and they're probably very easy to utilize I kind of agree with you though. I think Pawns are still really useful for that, but personally I think are only second to Bishops in overall efficacy

[@swordzanderson5352]

@@Kogarana1 Bishops are great for offense and setting up pieces with their Knowledge they leave behind and the fact that they can essentially attack from all sides and run out of bounds. OP didn't make it *crystal clear* though it is for me, they mean that pawns are the most OP in terms of safeguarding yourself from a potential cheat in a cheatless run, as it guarantees a cheatless trade in case the enemy cheat-takes a piece

The pawn ascension thing is important because it lets you expend a cheat(move enemy piece) to take out an enemy pawn without having to move any of your own pieces into bad spots.

[@Potato72080]

Also if you ascend 8 of them you get a secret ending

... I feel like the duck might be a reference to an old programming story. An animator is working on the 3D models for a chess game. He makes the Queen have an animation where a duck (or swan) flies around her as she makes her movements, carefully never actually intersecting or interacting with her animations. He presents his animations to a project manager for approval, who says "this all looks great, but can you scrap the duck?" It's a lesson that people always want to contribute to the quality of something, even if they need to latch onto little things.
