Doesn't it just scream "proxy 9/9 gate"? And those pimpest play videos are the exclamation marks you find in chess notation. Also, both games are split into three sections, an opening, a middle game, and an end-game. Macro is like the pieces that you have, while micro is how you use them, and piece placement. For example, I once lost an endgame that was King and Rook versus King and four pawns. He managed his pawns very well and ended up promoting one, so it's like Dragoon versus five SCVs. The units are different, and the winner will be determined by micro alone. EDIT: By the way, what do you mean Chess has no fog of war? I mean sure, standard chess doesn't, but there are variants with fog of war. You need either a computer or a third party to help set up the two different boards, but basically, you don't see any of your opponent's pieces except for the ones that you are attacking or are attacking you. That was probably the first game of chess I've ever seen that dropped my jaw. YES! It screws proxy 9/9 gate! | ||

Very fun game, although I had to mute it. I don't want to insult his voice any further because I have a feeling he might be disabled. TvT on a perfectly symmetric map is probably the closest thing to Chess. It's not very close but there are many interesting parallels. Without the mechanics out of the way though, Starcraft overall is more like poker in terms of levels of thinking and limited information. | ||
