What do you say about this good for nothing King? isn't his role stigmatic for male pride?

What do you say about chess, isn't it for applying your personal views to an arbitrary set of symbols? Or do you think maybe it is just a game

And why do we want to protect Kings of all things? They should make it a little baby that matures throughout the game
The real fun of chess is: it's not just a game ! it's a whole way of life !
and still immature and dependent:)

I find them to be under-sexed nebbishes with weights up their bottoms who only come out when it's safe.
It's funny that the queen is in and out, while the king is the one that stays on the board and helps the little pawns grow into queens in their own right
Let's not forget that chess is racist, homophobic, violent, totalitarian etc.
Then again, maybe I am progressive because I play the bongcloud??
so true
If we make a paternal chess set, w/ nannys, nurses, teachers, etc., we could show it to Oprah, she'd put it on her show, and 50 million women would buy it!

I believe that the king is a strong piece that should lead the army in battle.
People who retreat their kings to the corner are weanies.

Men are adorable if they behave as Men !
I agree. But the King is so vulnerable that people lock him in a castle guarded by pawns
Stand proud, lads

I think Tal has a good argument.

Could someone revolutionize chess? and in the new era king would be more active and supportive to the game and would not paralyse by every other check? the win/lose criteria should be different, lets evolve chess.
Kings use itself is extremely limited rather it uses all the resources on the board for its defence.
Maybe that's how you use it.
