Chess Is Perfect ( No Updates Needed ! )

@darwinwasright:
What you said is true and wrong at the same time. It's wrong, because the rules are clear and the confirmation of group states can be proven if necessary. Even with Japanese rules on a Go server this is possible: resume the game and kill the group; in that case passing is not allowed and both players must play a stone (because playing in own territory costs points).

It's true because the status of a group is more complicated if kos are involved. The rules a clear, but the opponent must know the rules.

But in all the years it happened only once that my opponent disagreed, and usually it's an issue of weak players.

By now Go engines are really strong and capable to determine the result, but even if it is unlikely it is possible that they are wrong. By contrast in chess the result can be proven automatically on chess servers, it's only necessary to play to the end (mate, stalemate or fifty move rule). The fifty move rule can be an issue in matches on a real boards, but usually this is rarely a problem.

Thanks for the recent posts.

One of the draws of chess for me is that it's a consistent game. No balance patches, updates, downloadable content, or whatever else.

When they introduced this Final Fantasy character ""Noctis"" into Tekken, I wanted to kill someone. Let's put this guy with a massive sword and spear into a Tekken game. Good one.

This one streamer who had been specializing in one character for over a decade switched to this ""Noctis"" for a laugh and achieved more in just a few months.

Bump . . .

And Thanks for the bump.

Someone has just started a thread where they want to get rid of the Stalemate, sorry but no changes are needed to the game ( Thanks for the input tho  lol ).

Many years ago, pawns could only move one square at a time.  Eventually the rules were changed to allow for 2 squares to avoid spending numerous moves on pawn advances.  I believe en-passant was introduced to keep some form of genuity to the original rules.  An example of changing rules to advance chess.

if only i knew what genuity meant.

I think Chess is supposed to improve others. Seriously, if the rules will be changed, Imma log off. Srsly, log.

Thanks for the posts.

There is only confusion when playing with the Japanese rules of go. Chinese scoring is very straightforward, since it does not punish a player additionally for placing a stone in their own territory, other than that of not playing elsewhere, so you can play out questionable endgame disputes without penalty.

   ---   Yup they keep mentioning it  lol.

Change nothing--it`s fine as is.

Thanks for the post.

   And still they come  rofl.

Seems to me that those folks should be putting their proposals under "Chess Variants". They are suggesting a game that is as profoundly different from chess as we know it as Chess960 is. 

My only proposed change to chess is shorten classical time control. Maximum time for the a  whole game  2.5 hours including World Chess Championship games. So it would be TV time friendly.
