Yes, I had an account final_wars
I deleted it, it was not closed by the site.
I deleted everything, all sites, like reddit, not just chess.com
Copyright issues with the Russians?
What on earth are you talking about? Never heard about it.
In any case...
The first line says: A new game was born this day.
The date at the end is 7 July 2016
It is not the same game that you may have seen in the past.
My strategy from day one never changed, my first attempts were however too complicated.
But now I have finally cracked it
I learned a lot from the first pass, I will not publish anything.
1. first they will laugh at you
2. then they will argue with you
3. then they will fight with you
4. then they will give up
Imagine that, devoting four years of your life to something, trying to solve an almost impossible problem, then you finally crack it
and then...
you can't show a single person on the planet because of the whole legal thing
I have been in contact with the grandmaster that worked with me, I told him I cracked it but even he does not know any of the details.
People are funny creatures.
That little icon next to your old account tells a different story.
//Just posting this so that you can point to it some day.
Would still say that if he closed it himself.
If none of his posts are visible, then staff closed it. If all posts are visible, he closed it. That's the only way to tell.
Modern chess is a chess variant. Its original names are:
The Enraged Queen of Chess (French) and Mad Queens Chess (English)
A new powerful Spanish Queen was inaugurated about 600 years ago and somebody (unknown) thought it would be a cool idea to increase the power of the queen, combining the moves of rook + bishop.
It worked?
That is how chess developed over the centuries, just guys trying new ideas, that has not stopped, people are still doing it.
The old variant of chess played in the west, with the queen moving one step on the diagonal like it still does in Thai Makruk, died within a few decades.
The new variant of chess was then called Chess even thou that was not its original name.
I am fully aware that EVERY attempt to make a new game in the past 600 years has FAILED.
I have studied hundreds of variants, watched people playing all kinds of variants on the internet, played variants myself, watched videos of the top chess grandmasters playing, played with grandmasters, studied modern grandmaster games, you name it I did it.
A full time job, I did nothing else.
I will say it again.
ALL of the GRANDMASTERS are going to play this GAME.
And where the big fish swim to feed, the little fish, looking for scraps, will surely follow.
History has a way of repeating itself.
