Will there ever be a better turn based game?

>>720316934 (OP)
So pawn takes knight and then what? Seems like a bad move on whites part.

>do nothing
>win
is there any WORSE turn based game?

>>720316934 (OP)
Actually bishop takes queen. Is white retarded?

>>720317085
White can then take the bishop and is up 1 pawn.

>>720317168
That's what white is hoping black does. Black loses instantly in 3 moves if he takes the queen.

Kriegspiel, chess is just a rote memorization exercise

when you get to late game and the board devolves into final destination even rng is not out of the question

No.

Caravan from New Vegas. Me and my buddy have fine-tuned the rules so that it's literally a perfect card game.

We have spent countless evenings and nights gettin' our caravan on. It's gigacomfy. Learn to play Caravan.

I never once understood what the fuck that game was about the 4 or 5 times I tried to

Go on.

Chess is unironically evil

>White captures the pawn next to black's king with his bishop, checking the king
>Black is forced to move the king 1 square up because the knight is defending the other squares
>The other knight now moves to d5, checkmating the king. Both knights work together to box him in leaving him nowhere to go.

Turns out it was only 2 moves. It's called the legal trap.

The best turn-based games have all player moves take place simultaneously. The fact that chess has one player gets to move first inexorably creates an imbalance. Chess would be better if both players had to decide on a move and lock it in before that move actually takes place, and then both moves happen at the same time.

This. How could anyone ever trust a chess piece?

>>720316934 (OP)
This blunders a horsey.

>>720325249
how so? if black takes the horse then white can capture the h5 bishop using the queen
i'm a chess newb but white is probably winning hard here.

>>720325742
...Nxe5
if Qxh5 then Nxc4
so white has to move the bishop instead, losing a tempo

Ok it's not a blunder, white stays up one pawn after Qb5+, but Nxe5 is still the best move in the OP.

>>no matchmaking
The idea of Matchmaking came from Chess, anon.
It's called ELO.

>>720327039
It's Elo, it's not an acronym, it's a name.

>>720318336
Chess literally invented ELO and skill-based matchmaking

>>720316934 (OP)
Too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.

Polytopia addresses these limitations.

>>720327979
Is this Chess in a room with us right now, sir?

>>720326534
Qb5 forks the king and knight in that position, and I'm not seeing any obvious drawback. White finishes up a pawn.

>>720327979
If chess invented ELO it would have been called CHESS and not ELO

lmao

>>720316934 (OP)
It's actually incredibly disgusting how much a GM has memorized the game, dumb memorization game for third world children that don't go to school.

Move to Fischer Random already, current game is beyond salvation

>>720327979
it's not an acronym retards, it's the name of the jew who invented it
if you're going to pretend you're smart by lecturing someone about chess at least get your facts straight
