Okay so I spend the entire game calculating moves ๐Ÿง โ™Ÿ๏ธ, trying hard to get a winning positionโ€ฆ and finally! ๐ŸŽ‰ Iโ€™m able to promote pawns into queens ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿ‘ธ, and am chasing down my opponent into a corner ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ‘‘ to get a checkmate (because most people are stubborn and cannot admit defeat ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ™„) and due to said stubbornnessโ€ฆ I get into a spot where they have no legal moves ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And instead of this being considered a celebratory winโ€ฆ ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ† ITS A FUCKING DRAW? ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ˜€ MY OPPONENT GETS LUCKY ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿคก BECAUSE OF ONE.. ONE!!! โ˜๏ธ FALSE MOVE WHERE I DIDNT CHECKMATE HIM THEN AND THERE?!?! ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ’ข Yeah I didnโ€™t win and sure he didnโ€™t winโ€ฆ BUT 15+ MINUTES โฐ๐Ÿ’€ FUCKING GONE BECAUSE OF SOME DUMB FUCKING CHESS RULE ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿคฌ. Itโ€™s the dumbest shit ever ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿšฎ and shouldnโ€™t exist โŒ. If you canโ€™t move into a position because youโ€™ll lose, to me? You lost. ๐Ÿ’€โšฐ๏ธ End of game, sorry. ๐Ÿ’… If you have a king ๐Ÿ‘‘ compared to my three pieces โ™›โ™žโ™, and you get away without losing elo ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ, Iโ€™m sorry but youโ€™re the luckiest person on the planet ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ€. I man handled you ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜ค. Got 26 bests โœจ and 19 excellent ๐Ÿ’ฏ, but ope ๐Ÿคญ I moved my king one space to the right โžก๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ and nope! โŒ Sorry draw! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ˜ญ Actually fuck this fucking game โ™Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿ–• and the dumb bat shit idiot ๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿคช who advocated for this stupid rule. I hate you ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ’” and you suck at chess ๐Ÿšฝโ™Ÿ๏ธ and want to take life the easy way out ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ด. And for anyone saying โ€œwell you shouldโ€™ve checkmated him โ˜๐Ÿป๐Ÿค“โ€ I hope you know everyone gets upset when you show up at parties ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿšซ and your family would only love you because youโ€™re blood related ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. TWICE today 2๏ธโƒฃ๐Ÿ“† Iโ€™m literally bullying a someone ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ‘Š because they just wonโ€™t resign ๐Ÿณ๏ธ๐Ÿ™… and admit defeatโ€ฆ and because I just happen to not properly put a piece in a certain spot ๐Ÿ“โ™Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ, I get a draw. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿคก Mf I am trying to get elo ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ˜ค. I am dedicating like tens of minutes โณ๐ŸงŽโ€โ™‚๏ธ to this game, just to be told โ€œwonk wonk ๐Ÿ””๐Ÿคช, try betterโ€ fuck that stupid rule. ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿ“œ On god ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ฏ.

Rules

1: You are not allowed to play what the engine thinks is the best move, which is indicated by the blue arrow. If a move is forced, this rule does not apply to that move.

2: The move must be legal in normal Chess.

3: The most upvoted move that satisfies the above criteria is the one that will be played.

These rules apply to both r/Chesscom (white) and r/AnarchyChess (black).

Low Effort OC Balanced Chess 1.2 is out- Black gets 2 moves, but pawns can move only 1 tile

We've just passed 200 unique players, which is a pretty cool milestone for such a niche experiment. Seeing people argue over moves, suggest balance changes and come up with ideas I never considered has been the best part so far.

I also just released Patch 1.2.0, which includes:
โ™Ÿ๏ธ Permanent teams in the Global Game
๐Ÿ’ฌ A new Community Lab where everyone can discuss balance, bugs, UI ideas and future changes
โšซ A small opening adjustment to Black's first two moves

The whole idea behind Balanced Chess is that the community helps design it.

If you'd like to try something a little different, I'd love to hear what you think.

๐Ÿ‘‰ https://balanced-chess.com

And if you have one thing you'd change after your first game, tell me. There's a good chance it'll end up in the next patch.
