Chess Is Perfect ( No Updates Needed ! )

Hey what up

   ---   Well it seems that his time at this site was up  lol.

well chess is almost perfect except for the fact that in the beginning white has the initiative because white starts first. But black does not have that advantage

They should make it sure that black has the same advantage

Nah,there has to be a small imbalance so that it isn't as drawish.

Hey, do you know how i can do a team?

ask debbie.

Thanks for the posts.

I see where someone wants to change the rules and give players nothing at all for achieving a Draw. Sorry but that will not happen ( please see the title of this thread  lol ). 

And someone wants to get rid of the stalemate  ---  sorry not happening  lol.

Good

Thanks for the post.

So I see where someone wants a take-back option. What are we a bunch of 6 year old kids ? We are playing some games here on-line for fun and they want take-back options. Give me a break ! If you lose a game just forget it and move on to the next game ! 

Chess is great the way it is.

Someone wants to quit giving points for draws ( so draws would be the same as loses ). Sorry pal however no changes are needed  lol.

Now someone has a thread on the go where they want to change 9 different rules of the game, NOPE not needed.

castling is silly and shouldnt be part of the game. it drags things out far too much and is a cop out for bad players

I know, real men like myself play 1.e4 2. Ke2!!! My king takes it like a man rather then hiding behind weaker pieces.

Go , Baduk in Korea, Weiqi in China, is far more of a perfect game. The rules are far more simple, and the games have exponentially more possible moves. Also, players put a stone on the board, and the stone never move: that in itself is simplicity at it's finest. Chess on the other hand, has constantly changing patterns. That's not to say there isn't beauty in Chess... far from it: Chess compositions isn't just about making a mating problems on a chess board, it has to have beauty in it's construction, and a theme to it's existence. The theme is usually the key to solving it, btw.

Go also has problem compositions also. Not that familiar with those, but there are some amazing examples of problems that can have a whole classroom of high level players scratching their heads. (Probably the chess equivalent to a classroom of USCF "A" level players).

I suppose the hardest GO problems are ones that mimic the "Hand of God" concept in GO: a move that is so rare, that it's said that the player had Hand of God in placing it.

Plus the game of GO has been around for at least 2500 years, but possibly as long as 4000 years ago. The testament of any game surviving that long, practically unchanged, and still played around the globe is amazing. Perhaps even more amazing is that there are professional players that make a living playing a game that might be 4000 years old.

Perhaps. I don't know much about shogi. But I was waxing philosophically between the purity and simple rules of GO compared to chess.

There are many board games with ancient roots, and chess is the baby of them all, that could lay claim to being the best ancient game.

Perhaps Renju could hold the title of most perfect game.. It's modern form has only been around since about 1900, and took some years of experimenting to settle on the classic rules used today... but 5-in-a-row has been around even longer that GO.

-without the modern rules, the player that moves first would always win.
