Oh the king is the most important piece that all other pieces should sacrifice their lives for?
:thinking-about-it:
Oh, the least powerful people in society are the ones on the frontlines huh?
And typical lib meritocratic bullshit to suggest some peasant pawn can become royaltyby working really hard, travelling the distance of the board, and become royalty.
“He hated games they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves.”
― Terry Pratchett, Thud!
Three-player chess. Black and white play as normal. Red starts with two pawns in the middle. Red's pawns move one space orthogonally, capture one space diagonally. If red would capture a pawn, that pawn instead becomes red. If a red pawn would capture a knight, bishop, rook, or queen, red's pawn becomes a piece of that type. Red loses if they run out of stuff. If black or white loses, their pieces stay on the board and stop making moves.
This is why I always open with a knight and a king's pawn. It's important that high ranking pieces should do their share.
I keep running out of pieces, and there's no way to get them back. Are there any plans to add more pieces as DLC?
Oh yeah, the leftover pieces that people found going through the game's code. I hope somebody mods it to make them playable, the game could benefit a lot from an active modding scene tbh.
You're telling me pawns become queens when they reach the other side? Fucking trans ideology being shoved down our throats.
Fun fact, the queen used to be much weaker in earlier versions of the game. The current omnidirectional moveset came about in 15th century Spain, and was sometimes called "madwoman's chess" because of how much she was girlbossing
From wikipedia:
Initially, its only move was one square diagonally. Around 1300, its abilities were enhanced to allow it to jump two squares diagonally (onto a same-colored square) for its first move.
The forced diversity is being shoehorned in, in deceptive ways! 50% of the bishops can only move on black squares!
And a black king and queen, with their black bishops? This is historically inaccurate!
In Finnish, the bishop is a messenger 🤔
spoiler
Though the word also has other meanings. Idk, I always assumed it was a messenger
- messenger, courier (person who delivers messages)
- orderly (soldier who carries out minor tasks for a superior officer)
- errand boy (person who runs errands)
- (chess) bishop (chess piece)
- missionary (person who travels attempting to spread a religion or a creed)
I remember being confused when I first learned they were bishops in English as a kid
What the fuck are they doing on a battlefield :thinking-about-it:

Yeah, and they replaced the vizier with the queen. Forced diversity making the women in the game!!!1!
"Well, at least white always moves first. Good to see that it's at least not reverse racist too."
