Seems like they're swords would shatter on the knight's plate armor, and the knight's larger, heavier sword would just blow through any defense a samurai could put up, even with superior speed.

Nothing chess is a boring game with limited possibilities that a machine can predict and figure out way ahead of you. Chess is garbage.

Only in the Simpsons the joke was that anyone can lose multiple games of chess at once, whereas my argument was that winning multiple games at once was no more impressive than winning multiple consecutive games.

mainland europe was a much harasher pvp enivorment than the isle nation of the samurai. there's a scientific word for it, but i forget what it is, it's like the retarded birds of the galapagos isle and the giant turtles that died instantly when Christopher Columbus discovered them and looked on them, Island people evolve in stupud ways because there aren't any top notch enemies around, just giant turtles and big fat flightless birds, and in Japan's case; defenseless peasants. knioghts = much war against competing mainland europe + muslims int eh crusades = evolve insanely good combat skills and technology. samurai = killed peasants who looked at thier emperor wrong, and its the culture as well, like they didn't even evolve bad rear end freeform poetry but had to write in haiku which is a typical example of galapagos island style of idiot dead-end evolution and why asian music is the worst of all music even today

Applewhite posted:I don't understand the timer or the point system. Like, is it possible to capture the opponent's king, but for him to still win the game on a technicality? If not, why track the points? The timer is so you don't take forever and a day thinking about your next move and making everyone want to kill themselves. The point of multiple games being difficult is because you'd have to juggle multiple strategies as to win at chess you have to think at least a few moves ahead of what is happening and work out possible permutations of what your opponent will do in response. The points just value the units so you can clearly see exchanging a rook for a bishop is advantageous to one player. satanic splash-back posted:Hidden mechanics are the truest measure of skill. Only the newbies believe everything is presented to the player. Like, castling is bullshit, because you only know about the move because somebody told you. just wait until someone uses 'en passant' on you FishionMailed fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jan 29, 2016 |

So I've tried to deduce the narrative of chess from context and here's what I've come up with: Two nations of equivalent power have gone to war over a petty disagreement between the queens. The queen, as you can see, wields the greatest power on the board while the king is doddering and ineffectual. He's obviously not interested in being there and this war is being pushed for by his wife.
