The amount of salt that would be thrown in the next game rule update for chess would be incredible.
can you imagine if FIDE went, “you know what, classical is now 960. There’s no going back, that’s the rule now”
They used to call the current version of chess “mad queens’ chess”
During the 15th century, the queen’s move took its modern form as a combination of the move of the rook and the current move of the bishop.[14] Starting from Spain, this new version – called “queen’s chess” (in Italian, scacchi della donna) or, pejoratively, “madwoman’s chess” (scacchi alla rabiosa) – spread throughout Europe rapidly, partly due to the advent of the printing press and the popularity of new books on chess.[15] The new rules faced a backlash in some quarters, ranging from anxiety over a powerful female warrior figure to frank abuse against women in general.[16]
What were the queens moves prior to this. And what did a pawn become when it reached the other side.
I remember people always saying you could choose what piece you wanted. Though everyone most always chose queen of course. Though I could see someone choosing knight in certain circumstances.
Knight is rarely a better choice indeed, and it might even be optimal to choose a rook or bishop in extraordinary circumstances, such as if choosing a queen leads to a draw
A pawn originally did not have the option of moving two squares on its first move, and promoted only to a queen upon reaching the eighth rank. The queen was originally the fers or farzin, which could move one square diagonally in any direction.
In the Persian and Arabic game the bishop was a pīl (Persian) or fīl (Arabic) (meaning “elephant”) which moved two squares diagonally with jump
It’s not just a problem with fascism, the fucking authlefts/tankies are picking up where the fascists are not found. There’s some lefty/regular turk communities and they’re kinda bananas.
Gurbetçi olarak pek yazmıyorum, ama topluntu olsa bakmak isterdim. You living gurbet style too?
Nope, still in Turkey. Hoping to gtfo of the oligarchy asap.
People in this country don’t really like me so I kind of embraced foreign social media as a way of escaping reality. You may call it a “online gurbet” i guess.
Life is better these days since I’ve gotten a really nice irl safe space of mostly Boğaziçi students.
I’m glad you are fitting in at university. The global economy is dogshit, so … yeah, gurbet doesn’t feel that much better, but to be honest, I’m doing ok. Better than in turkey under that fucker anyway.

Gamers being butthurt about patches? Never!
Lmaoo, even ancient gamers were complaining about women in games
15th century is not ancient brah…

No I know, I just typed quickly and recklessly
Just pretend that the “ancient” in my comment meant like, “gamers 500 years in the past” or something

Your quote never calls it mad queen, just queen or madwoman!
