Did I Just Re-invent Chess?

Sort:
Destiny

I have just re-invented the 1500 year old game, chess.

Check it out, I call it "Chess Remastered"

Here's out it works, instead of white going first. Black goes first. How has nobody thought of this?! It's so simple yet genius!

Black going first changes EVERYTHING. First of all, the idea is to eliminate all opening theory that a lot of weak chess players use nowadays. We can go back to the good old days of chess where talent and creativity shined. When players like Greco and Morphy played gambits and sacrificed. Nowadays players like Carlsen and Nakamura play like Kramnik and try to bore your opponent to sleep with their 40 move home preparation.

It'll be another 100 years before phonys invent a program to "solve" Chess Remastered.

If this doesn't make sense to you, here's a game I played with an NM(a true advocate of Chess Remastered):

Now this is the breakthrough we needed. The top 100 will all drop 200+ points and everyone will have a new chance at becoming world champion! FIDE will probably go bankrupt and the elections canceled but who cares!? We have our own federation! "Chess.com Global Representatives" will do the job. This is true PaWnDaMoNiUm as Ben would say. Let me go tell my friends! Chess.com needs to make this the main variant. Let me go tell uh-I-forgot-what-since-I-got-brainwashed.org about this too! This will even crash the Computer Chess Championships! Once Stockfish finds out it will become Sockfish. DIE ALPHA_ZERO!

The game of chess we know and love will stay as it is I think. There’s no ways people will eradicate centuries of chess development and theory. But I think this would be an interesting variant

I actually got a laugh out of this one, which doesn't happen often with these kinds of posts (unless their macer's)

So well done NonSequitur7. Well done. You have achieved greatness (or at least partial non-terribleness)

And it would be a cool variant

I mean theoretically it is just regular chess with the color of the pieces switched.

I have an even better variant.  Have green pieces and red pieces.  Then White wouldn't go first and neither would black!

Screw the variation, that is probably one of best #s I have seen.

@superchessmachine the K and Q would be switched

I am sorry, but I have already invented this.
