>>730490498Im convinced most of these silly rules are just made up on the fly by chessmasters finding themselves in a difficult spot.>oh shit youve got me in checkmate>uhhhh i can totally swap my king with my rook because ahhhh i havent moved either of them!>nuh uh its totally a real rule trust me bro my dad works for big chess he told me himself!

>>730492176we got a house rule that you are always forced to do en passant or il vaticano if you can
>>730490498>white moves firstracist ahh "sport"
this is such a fucking retarded rule.
>>730492450WHAT THE FUCK. WHO MADE THIS SHIT UP
>>730492539this. It implies the white is the aggressor, attacking completely unprovoked
>>730492664is that a reference to how catholic bishops rape children?
>>730492628pawns used to only be allowed to move one square. to speed up the game they made a new rule to allow pawns to move 2 squares forward if they havent moved yet. They didnt want this new rule to dramatically change the games positional meta so they added the en passant rule to make it so you couldnt abuse the 2 square rule to avoid an opponents pawn.
>>730491603Most of these rules are to address issues with eother prior rule changes or the earlygame being to slow.Pawns moving two squares on the first move was added, because it makes the game go faster for the first 15 moves or so. But this created the issue that you could avoid putting you guy in danger lategame, to make a free passed pawn. So en passant was added to "fix" that.Castling is much the same, people were already doing it the slow way, because it was the best way to get the rook into the game, so people just turned 3 moves in to 1. Again, to make the earlygame faster.
>>730492664HES FAST
>>730492329It's literally game over without the king
>>730491603lol retard
>>730492664 Bro I don't even know anymore. First it was en passant, and now they’re talking about "il Vaticano" like it’s been in the sacred scrolls of chess since the Renaissance. That image looks like something Michelangelo drew after losing a bet to an Italian grandmaster lmao.

>>730490498chess is a dogshit game, it's all about memorizing all the openings and how to respond to them and waiting for your opponent to make a mistake
>>730493753a quick search reveals that its fake

>>730492664>>730493753>First it was en passant, and now they’re talking about "il Vaticano" like it’s been in the sacred scrolls of chess since the RenaissanceEn passant is more famous but if you've watched any chess streams you've probably heard of ilvat. It's a flashy move so streamers try to go for it a lot. It's risky since typically you want your bishops to be pointing in the same direction and ilvat forces them apart.

reminder that Fischer would be the undisputed GOAT if he had access to the decades of opening analysis his own observations/games spawned and the ease of facing modern chess engines online.only reason anyone denies it is because he hates Jews and the USA

why does chess attract so many schizos? /chess/ has to be one of the worst generals on this site
>>730491992Hes rightThe only piece that cant "mate" the enemy king is your own king. I rest my case.
>>730493939>waiting for your opponent to make a mistakeWhat you're describing is shitter-level 5 minute blitz on anonymous lichess. If you go to a chess club, people don't play in this retarded way at all.
>>730501664I go to Caracas
>>730490498It's a French word so you know it's extra fancy.
>>730495341i unironically believe that Fischer and Magnus are on the same level. Chess is so boring and solved that now you have to push the endgame so a lot of his games look like shit.
>>730501664Only subhumans play chess in 2026. Basically Russians and South East Asians. No one is interested in playing a solved game.
>>730490498>counselor becomes queen>horse becomes knight>elephant becomes bishop>chariot becomes rookWhat is this shitty localization?
>>730493939By move 7 in a given game you are usually in unplayed territory. Memorization is only handy for endgame positions with less than 5 pieces remaining on board or the very early opening game. But quickly becomes irrelevant in the midgame.
>>730504814Blame the eunuchs
>>730504814>chariot becomes rookrookie mistake
>>730504839more like 14 moves if you are intermediate. Also people constrantly try to kill play with garbage openings like D4, Karo Trash, Philidor defense, etc. Modern chess is solved trash played by cowards. Jeets unironically killed it.

For me, it'd d4
>>730501118 The devs realized too many players were promoting their knight into a dommy queen and causing server instability. Nerfed the queen’s mating multiplier and made the bishop bi so now everything's balanced.

>>730512730Why not just popularize the FOG format?
>>730512730>After AI they suggested something like adding a new line with a new piece to add complexityThat would be scandalous.
>>730493753Il vaticano is somewhat challenging to pull off, but if you can set it up, it can be devastating.
>>730512730let each player swap the positions of two of their own pieces before the start of the gameif balance is still a concern, let black see what white is doing but not the other way around
>>730512730>but the international chess committee constantly discuss adding new rules to chess to make it more interesting for the public again.Bullshit. People may talk about things like Hand and Brain tournaments being streamed and 'for fun' things like that, but noone is thinking 'yeah, let's just fucking destroy the rules of the real game of chess to appeal to zoomers'.

>>730515887>it needs randomization, not new piecesthats just Chess960
En Passant exists to counter a major playstyle that existed that would make games too boring. Same thing with castling.
>>730493939I think the same because I got filtered myself.If Chess had fog of war (like Kriegspiel) and randomized positions, would the game stop being memorization slop and would actually be a viable strategy game?
>>730490668It would be woke if half of the pieces you control were black. Since you control either whites or blacks, the game is actually a race war and is therefore based.
>>730517068most modern strategy board games either have randomization upon start, the board being built from the player's starting location, or they have planned position placements.
>>730517068Polytopia adresses these limitations
