If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

This hurt a bit, surprisingly. Just a bit though.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Remember, Kif, in the game of chess, you can never let the opponent see your pieces.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 45 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I swear every time I play that game, half my army ends up being pawns, the weakest piece.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

not of you really them to the other side,il There's a drag show and they become queens

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It's 2025. Pawn equality NOW!

[–] Sunrosa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

pawns are strongest piece :)

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 39 points 3 weeks ago

make sure that there a mirror behind your opponent, this way you can see his pieces

[–] gon@lemm.ee 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I read this as "cheese" instead of "chess" and was really confused for a sec...

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I like your version better. Those cheese strategists can suck it.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There’s only one cheese strat. You see cheese, you eat cheese 🤤

[–] gon@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

OK, no, because I'm a huge cheese strategist. Feta and gorgonzola haunt my waking mind like specters of gastronomical pleasure, wraiths of fermented delight.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I kind of miss the r/anarchychess shenanigans

Free to play players can at least restart their account until they get at least one 5* Queen, but even then it's hard to beat the whales.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Jumpyhorse! I choose YOU!!! Use jump attack!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

If horsey isn't the best piece then why is it my favorite?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

rolls dice

Moves horse 7 places

"Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200."

Is chess even a real game?!

[–] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 9 points 3 weeks ago

I prefer more competitive games like Polytopia

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It never fails, I always end up with the boot, the thimble or Col. Mustard.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago
[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

The pawns are so cute

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Chess960 is luck, but both sides have the same luck.

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago

In theory some configurations have stronger or weaker first mover advantage. This is known as white privilege.

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Football is like chess, except for the dice

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 weeks ago

honestly, it woud be fine if people would stop aimbotting all the time

[–] pixelkitty@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Chess 🤝 Monopoly

King (Planeswalker) - 1 (colorless) - 1/1

While in play it is functionally useless, but if its loyalty drops to 0 the game ends immediately and you lose.

"Who invented this useless piece, what were they thinking?"

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I slam a Royal Flush against the table.

Checkmate, plebs!

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'd play the shit out of a chess version of balatro.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There’s a couple out there but I’ve never tried them to confirm if their good.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

How would i go about searching for them?

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Now that’s a wizards chess.
