I think chess needs to be updated


Here is the newest design for the chancellor piece. It's resembles a rook just stronger. Adjacent to the queen's height.

My proposal. In Super GM events, one can use openings or defenses TWICE only. After playing the Berlin Wall TWICE, the defending player must use other variation of the Ruy Lopez. Similarly boring opening system like Colle and London system can be used TWICE only.
London System... Boring??

Classical chess is humdrum (lack of variety) monotonous and very repetitious. Variants with new pieces solves this issue.

A new piece, in ten years, will have been analyzed to death by some engine or robot, just like the rest of the game. New rules might add a month or so to that. If you want real change, a ban on chess engine manufacturing, use, or ownership would be the way to go, that way humans could innovate again instead of relying on Google's latest AI gadget to think for them.

If u wanna avoid the London/Colle play the Dutch, it's a real fighting opening.

Sorry bro, pie in Sky idiots can be wearisome?!
Deardrie didn't read what we suggested... we are not changing Chess... we are proposing a new variant to compliment... a similar but different game?
But how can a simpleton who cannot spell... appreciate great minds like Lion and Gothic?
As for the Mona Lisa... i have seen... what is one of the most overrated piece of junk ever painted. And this was opinion of the huge majority there... very disappointing.
Of course Deardrie seen on tv, lol... she couldn't point to Italy on a map, lol...
As for the great exciting games given... who actual watched any of them?
Abit like the fabled Kaspy Karpov games... people were crying with boredom... now they are romantic greats.
Never play with idiots or animals?!

By the way... Da Vinci was well renowned as a smug and pompous idiot, a raving egomaniac... sort of the pfren of the day?

Probably not, I doubt he was giving priceless advice for free so often.

I think every variant and classic chess would deserve to create the world championship match. Because there are fans for each of them. They could create their own league.

Hired a cartoonist for our magazine
If you pay him more than $6 he may even draw something larger than 100x100
lol.

Had computer vs computer tournaments. Yeah... I had a REAL TOUGH TIME generating interest in this, probably the most successful variant ever.
That picture is from the 6th century though.

Ed Trice: how was the negotiation with Karpov about the gothic match?
Was Karpov sceptical at first or how was he initially when you told him about gothic chess?
