So bishops, rooks, queens are OP. Knights are less useful due to limited range, and pawns are just as expendable as before.
YOOOOO, definitely trying it out then!
I thought this would be like donut chess, where your moves wrap around - but nope, infinite means infinite
If it really is infinite then it will be difficult to prove that there are only 2 players.
MMO infinite chess
oh my god im nerding out so much about this idea
it would have to be like Kung Fu Chess where instead of being turned base it relies on individual piece cooldowns and quick thinking. with a multitude of players on a large map i think it should probably be point based instead of focusing on checkmate, using the general rules of material (pawns being worth 1 material all the way to queens being 9 material).
i think bishops and other pieces should all have a limited range of how far you can go at once. can you imagine playing a very close match (it being cooldown based it would probably be a lot higher adrenaline) with someone and seeing someone starting to close in on you to vulture the aftermath?
edit i think your pieces should be tethered to a max radius around your king? thatd probably be interesting and balance it some
why am i nerding out about this and wishing I could make this a real thing lol
I dont think the board is initialised randomly, there are set seeds
If moves wrap, aren’t you in checkmate at the very start?
Woah, good point. First move (reverse queen teleport) basically wins the game
I was thinking just king takes king. Which is not something you would usually see. So black is already in checkmate before white even moves. Though white is also in checkmate.
Yeah I was gonna say it’s an Instant draw.
Sorry for the inner horse girl moment, but it's spelled whoa
whoah :o
