i couldnt excel in chess, so decided to chess in excel
How do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead
♔♚ ♕♛ ♖♜ ♗♝ ♘♞ ♙♟︎
Was thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.
CAPS vs lowercase
Yeah, it definitely needs to be color coded.
The other thing that would bother me is that if you’re playing black, you have to play upside down. I wonder if there would be a way to “flip the board”.
Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board
Brilliant
That sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!
I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn’t involve VBA.
They WOULD be a nightmare though.
Lol. Fair enough. I’m not sure which would be worse.
In the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.
Did you find out?
Otherwise I may
I promote my pawn to pivot table
Why does black get to go first? 1. E5? (good meme though)
white actually went first but they played the swedish samba (Kf3, Kg1)
I’ll raise you rnbqkbnr/ppppp1ppp/8/4p3/4P3/8/pppp1ppp/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2. Come at me bro.
I don’t know the format but shouldn’t it be rnbqkbnr/pppp1ppp/8/4p3/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2 to remove the pawn ambiguity ?
Aw fu, I mean…You see through my plan THIS time… Erm… yeah.
Finally I can do something useful through SharePoint
Just make sure when pieces get taken you drag them under the board instead of deleting them. Otherwise what will you do when you need to promote a pawn?
There’d be no coming back!
