Two questions

See - creatip just needs to know how to market his new invention better. Instead of the obscure and silly name BilliChess, it should be DrEvilChess, because if Doctor Evil played chess, he would demand freakin lasers.... this then makes sense to everyone, has some edge and popular appeal.

DrEvilChess, because what is a chess supervillain without a laser?! (TM)

If you would use your "intellectual properties" for 'growing a brain' research, I wouldn't have to wear this wig. And I see you're warming up to renaming it PooChess! Good decision! Though now, I'm favouring "TaliBilliChess" as the new name. Oh, about your "4litres1Tail"? I can't read

So wait. If there are two lasers in Billichess and none in OriginalBoringChess, then the actual percentage of laser increase must be ... uh-oh

ivandh, you can't just be giving away ideas like this - man, this is amateur hour - you could have quite easily taken your sharks idea, and made it JawsyChess, but, no, you tell everyone before patenting it.

I already have an IP on it (that's interlectuel propity for you lametards, I used an obscure acronym just to show off how smart I are)

Kyle, you have just blown my mind - is that an image of what happens if pieces cross their laser beams? This Billichess needs further investigation... by the Pentagon minimally.

BilliChess - because even lasers make division by zero possible.

Classic newbie error! Do NOT look directly at the lasers! Jeez man!

How about talibilli laser chess, featuring sharks?

Sounds interesting. But he should just make sharks an add-on pack, so he can make more money.

But my primary concern now is not the silly name or sharks, it the poor newbies who get retinal damage. Creatip, will your game ship with protective eyewear? Jokes aside, lasers are not something that should be messed around with.

Sharks would have to be in the expansion pack.

Lasers are quite dangerous and can permanently damage sight. I don't think that creatip was focused enough on safety in the making of his game. I would have to insist upon a warning label for this as ages 3 and up. Eyewear would be compulsory just in case creatip got sued for the game damaging a persons sight

C'mon guys, be serious. Lasers would only be a problem in OTB tournaments. Nobody does those seriously anymore anyway.

Excuse me, tippy, but the posters here are trying to make your ideas better. When you came here, you asked for people's help with PooChess, and now it's "TaliBilliChess w/Sharks and new laser ideas in Mongolia"! And you don't even say "thanks"?

Yes, fully agree, possibly different sized eyewear as well, for different ages and face shapes. I have a friend whose head is shaped like a pumpkin, but his eyes are like squished together right in the middle. If his anti-laser goggles could not fit on his head or over his eyes, he would be blinded on top of being pumpkin headed and squish-eyed. I find that unacceptable, frankly, and I am sure many would agree.

Moreover, as I understand it, sharks can be dangerous too, primarily if they are in the water. Would his game come with adequate warnings to not play in the water if you purchase the shark expansion-pack? I think consumers should know these things before he starts promoting this hazardous game on different websites.

And if Poochess goes nowhere, there is always...

 Pooh Chess!

DionysusArisen deserves a special thanks from tippy, I believe.

I think we are being too hard on Dan.  Why can't anyone try to answer his original question?  Here it is again...

“a famous quote ab Chess being (the most) intelligent or smart(est) board game (or video game)?”

I tend to lean towards the affirmative, but I did discover some quotes that have made me reconsider my position...

Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time. – George Bernard Shaw 

It will be cheering to know that many people are skillful chess players, though in many instances their brains, in a general way, compare unfavorably with the cognitive faculties of a rabbit. – James Mortimer

Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency. – Raymond Chandler

It has been said - and is probably not true - that every great man has been a chess player. But was there ever a chess player who was also a great man? Of course not and never will be. It is impossible. Great skill at chess is not a mark of greatness of intellect but of a great intellect gone wrong. – New York Morning Telegraph

Surely chess is a sad waste of brains. – Sir Walter Scott

Chess never was, and while society exists, never can be a profession. – Howard Staunton

No fool can play chess, and only fools do. – Source Unknown

There are no heroes in chess. – Cory Evans 

There just isn't enough televised chess. – David Letterman

Phasers on stun! - James T. Kirk

And don't forget:

"You're going to need a bigger boat." Sheriff Brody from Jaws

That last quote is of most important. I'm writing that down. I hope tippy follows. :)
