I also think if a Queen has the audacity to move to the ending row of the board, it should be changed back into a pawn.

But... the pawn is changed into a queen so if I make a queen with a pawn... I make a pawn... which makes a queen...

I think that there should be a high ground mechanic so defenders have a bigger advantage.

So, is it safe to assume the queen needs a range buff?

Yes. I also think the pawns need a 'mount horse' ability to improve their mobility.

I like where you're going with this. If you could just cloak your pawns the enemy would be stopped mid-movement, making the pawn an incredibly useful tactical asset.

Unless you have a tower ! That can detect cloacked units in a 2square radius !

I think the King should be given cloaking detection though. Otherwise, pawns could trap him too easily. Cloaking detection should be in a 2-square radius for the King as well.

I don't know anything about Chess but I feel like it's one of those games where the slightest change would end up vastly changing everything.

I like the stealth chess idea =)

I think the creators need to focus on bug fixes as well as balance. I have seen games where towers have moved around the board. Also, I have found the knight piece to only display the horse - the rider seems to be missing. They also seem to noclip through friendly units, and some hooligans use this to quickly bring out their knights, even when surrounded by pieces. This makes walling off the king incredibly difficult.

Lag could use a bit of work as well. When my opponent's pawn was at the fourth rank, I moved my adjacent pawn two spaces up to avoid capture, yet the pawn was still killed.

I have reported these issues on the official forums but one of the design guys told me there was no sense in fixing it.

rooks need a buff, need to be able to change directions in the middle of their move.

The bishop can now take 2 pieces? Oh cool so in 3-5 moves you can gg your opponent as white.

How ridiculous, i hope this is a trollpost

EDIT: Upon further inspection i found a pawn self-destruct.

Troll post, Sarcasm is not your fortay


No dude, this is real. Chess matches have been very static for the last 400 seasons, and we always see players go with the same piece compositions every game. From a spectator's point of view, this is very boring, and there needs to be more AoE attacks, like the exploding pawn. I also saw someone say that rooks needed a buff, but I think players just need to start with three rooks instead of two. This will make matches a lot more dynamic because it will reward players who micro stronger to move their pawns out of the way to release the rooks into the open.

Also, I heard that in Chess 2, you'll be able to select 6 pieces into one control group instead of only being able to move 1 piece at a time.

Maybe the King should have a sniper rifle. He may use it to banish any uncloaked pawn on the board for his move. :D

As a player of the white race, I feel like the black race is too OP. Every game I play it just feels like the black race has better units. I suggest nerfs for said race, and buffs for my race. Also, the lead design team for chess has no idea what they are doing.
Now I shall spread my opinion on the official chess forums!

Typical white balance whine, they get to move FIRST and they still complain about balance when clearly their race takes no skill. It takes like double the apm to play Black.

I'm mad that Russians play in Western Europe and North America qualifiers, last WCS had like 2 foreigners in it who got eliminated first round. How can we have a "world" tournament when it's just another event with nobody but Russians? They need to fix that.

Maybe even have something like the TCL3, where TL invited the top foreigners and top Russians in approximately even numbers. The foreigner who won ended up knocking out like 3 of the top Russian players, and before that he was some scrub who went semi-pro in Checkers 3.
