trying to reinvent chess because I am not happy with chess in its current state. so far, something is rotten in the state of Denmark and in chess games, which is : paranoïa, the fear for symbolic death.
it seems so important, and matter of life, for some pple, to avoid this symbolic death, that they will do EVERYTHING by ANY MEANS, even playing deathly boring games, Italian or Spanish opening falling in a well of boredom, symmetric gaming and piece exchanges to parry every threat, anti-gaming to freeze every possible move of the opponent, freezing life in a statue of ice.
which is stupid, because symbolic death is only a simulation, and this is not because you avoid symbolic death at the cost of boredom, that you will escape your real death of your human condition.
a game where you can play anti game technics to get a tie, is not a game, and this should be forbidden as hell.
so I modified the rules, and here are my chess rules, that everyone should follow :
1. no piece exchange, never. keep all pieces alive, to favorize combinatory, complexity of the living atoms of the universe.
2. no castling, never. if one player succeed to castle, the game stop. castling is for p*ssies, and boring lonnnng game of defensive bastions
3. no fianchetto, never. if the opponent has the bad idea to start an opening with fianchetto, I immediately destroy the fianchetto side, just to teach him good manners. please, dont play as a kid going immediately for double fianchetto.
4. no symmetric gaming. obviously.
5. no tie, and don't scare your symbolic death. it is better to lose with panache on the barricades, than a tie by tactical dull and unremarkable technics.
