Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If you're looking for another chess variant, you could always try Fairy Chess. Holy pissing hell. Things don't get any simpler in 2D view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 ^^^^^^ Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey. I ain't playing that. That looks absolutely nuts. What are the King and Queen doing on the 3rd and 13th ranks. Are they expendible? You'd think the big guns would be at the back not in the vanguard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Invergowrie beats RBWatson @EvilScotsman by checkmate. Queen blunders just fatal at this (and I suppose any) level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
