If chess was invented today you'd have a subreddit full of losers whining about how en passant is unbalanced and the king should have the queen's moveset.

        You mean you wouldn’t play chess with a skill tree or fog of war? doggirl-smug

        Seriously I’d call it a dog-brained take, but that’s an insult to dogs.

            There already is chess with fog of war. It’s a fun variant, just not the most popular one.

      I just noticed he was comparing chess to reality and not video games. Dude thinks tech trees exist irl. Lasers from space that never existed before are admitted in that very statement to not be part of reality.

        He’s been out of touch with reality since at least the end of Apartheid.

        But I hadn’t noticed him mixing real life with videogames. Lmao what a dweeb.

      Don’t forget the terrible takes that would come from the bazingaist of bazinga brains. Without the thousands of years of history of chess, these takes would be more popular.
