    Please switch to OpenChess, it is open source, community supported, and free. Yes it lacks some key features that chess has, namely pawns and rooks, but but there are several promising forks of the project that are working on these pieces.

    It all went to hell when they started pandering and removed the Queen’s giant knockers and made it the most powerful piece.

        Nobody listen to him. What he calls “Chess3” is going out to an abandoned crack shed where he’s going to do nothing but blare “Love Shack” while making you play at gunpoint.

        Fourth worst chess experience of my life, wouldn’t even let me play Rock Lobster.

      Robert Chess is a fraud. The real master mind behind chess was Thomas Chess. His brother just stole his idea and ran with it

        I still hate Clint Stealing. The founder of stealing. The world didn’t deserve this cruelty.

        Not true, Thomas Chess has as much claim as Robert Chess regarding ownership since the roots of the original can be traced back to the notes of their father Sir Gary Chess the First.

        The line is quite well preserved within the Chess family but internal conflicts are known to occur

    To be fair there is chess evolved online with over 500 different pieces and chess piece lootboxes if you want a more modern take on the classic game

    Inaccurate. They patched the vertical castling exploit in the 70s.
