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

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

  Maybe you’d prefer Taikyoku shogi?

    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?“
