  UMM ACKSHUALLY the queen was added in the 15th century, replacing the weaker vizier.

    In my first language we still call the chess queen a vizier!

    Last gameplay patch was in the 70s, when they fixed the vertical castling exploit.

    An LRR reference in the wild? Absolutely mythical.

      Second time you’ve spotted me doing it!

        Ah damn I’m so sorry I didn’t pick up on your name! I’m terrible at that, I really should be more mindful. Actually I’m going to tag you “LRR Enjoyer” now. There!

        Aldo I have to confess I haven’t kept up with them lately. I used to watch a ton of it years ago, both their sketches and some of their stream stuff. And Desert Bus of course. I really should get back into it, I don’t know why I stopped.

  According to Star Trek: The Original Series, in around 2 centuries, chess will get updated to support 2 more dimensions. We won’t have to wait long! So exciting!

    Just wait until they have 8 separate cubes each consisting of 8 planes with an 8x8 grid each: true 4D chess.

    Now it would only take 8 arrays of 8 of these cubes to advance to 5D chess!

    I saw your repost before I saw this. Then I read his comment and thought “did he just steal that quote from the meme I just read?“

  I’m sorry, what…!?
