After all those chess edits, I finally pulled of this Philidor Defense trap thing

That is the beauty of chess. It is static and predictable.

Attempts to randomize chess would not improve chess. I have my ideas to make chess less predictable: Decoy King, and IED (mine) chess. But thinking over,

Chess is great because it is static and predictable.

Some things in the world are static and predictable. Some are not. (That's in the realm of cards and dice.)

Having chess static and predictable promotes literacy.

There's no point in reading books if the world changes all the time.

I cannot stress that enough.

I would lose my queen and then forget the line for checkmate 😂 nice game tho!

Lmao 🤣

tyyy

What is long quach wven saying

Chess is static. The game starts the same.

Fischer Random Chess is not static.

Chess is not like Backgammon. Every turn is a roll of the dice.

The static nature of chess makes reading historical games useful.

That is the beauty of chess. Unlike Backgammon, poker, etc .

While this is true, variety is also sometimes good.

That is why Fischer Random was created: to get away from relying on 20 moves of opening prep, and instead, thinking from the start.

Chess is fundamentally toy soldiers. And toy soldiers are for kids (of all ages).

Children need a static model to learn from.

It's like counting sheep in the field. It's easier to count the sheep from a still photograph than counting the sheep when the sheep are moving around, if you are teaching a child to count the number of sheep.

It's easier to paint a portrait when the model is sitting still.

That's how you learn about the world, in a childish way first.

Even in the static nature of chess, there are still surprises. Even tn this game, in this example.

That is the beauty of chess. It is static, but not as simple as you think.
