Bwenjarin Raffrack United States322 Posts October 01 2011 02:25 GMT #101 Loved this article. Playing chess for over 15 years, BW for 13, avid historian of both, it really warmed the cockles of my heart to see this comparison. Of course a few liberties were taken here and there, but the parallels drawn made up for it and more. As for everyone wondering about the rating graphs: http://mengsk.com/ratings/bw.

itkovian United States1763 Posts October 01 2011 03:09 GMT #106 Being both a chess fan and a starcraft fan, I really enjoyed this read. Thanks! This actually makes me want to start playing chess again... but then I remember how stressful it is trying to decide on a move...

ComaDose Canada10357 Posts October 01 2011 04:50 GMT #113 This was amazing and hilarious! thank you. I've always said broodwar is kind of like chess where you can move as many pieces as you want as fast as you can and the boards are all different and play a big part of the game and you have to scout what your opponent is doing.

rebuffering Canada2436 Posts October 01 2011 05:14 GMT #114 man your a godamn hero! amazing post and a must read for starcraft and/or chess fans! thanks for the effort!

Cow Canada1104 Posts October 01 2011 05:20 GMT #115 Fantastic read. Never followed the chess scene, but drawing the similarities between BW and Chess definitely helped me get an idea of what competitive chess must've been like over the past decade+.

nbaker United States1341 Posts October 01 2011 05:55 GMT #116 Really cool article--thank you for writing it. I loved all the parallels you were able to find in these two areas of competition. It strikes me how compressed everything is in Broodwar compared to chess. You mentioned people who were the best for a period of time twice as long as Broodwar has existed. I wish that somehow BW will become truly timeless, to the point where these first 10+ years can be summed up in a brief introduction to the days of competitive broodwar.

phosphorylation United States2935 Posts October 01 2011 06:12 GMT #118 kickass article

a9arnn United States1537 Posts October 01 2011 06:35 GMT #119 Wow that was a great writeup! I'm surprised you managed to get a lot of comparisons like that, really interesting read

Sadistx Zimbabwe5568 Posts October 01 2011 06:42 GMT #120 The monumental effort this required and the amazing writeup deserve a goddamn star. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Although I do not actively play chess, I did whoop most of my peers in casual games in high school, and do passionately read bios and game recaps of greatest players. Especially enjoyed reading up on the new bonjwas Thanks for the article.
