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.

I don't think OpenChess is maintained anymore. Development appears to have slowed considerably in the last few years. I think Checkers is much more actively developed and it's a fine alternative though.

That is true. In the latest patch of checkers they finally removed the infinite king me glitch.

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.

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

I thought it was based on the video game Battle Chess from the 1980s. WTF Nintendo?

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

What are you talking about, dude? They just patched that bug that let you castle along the file.

Holy shit outerheaven, haven't heard about this instance in a while

One real reason to boycott them is that they aren't trans friendly.
