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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

My god this one was good. Also i feel Chess is way more superiror to checkers wich is a noob game ! Also for the WCS (World chess season), i believe that russian will dominate the scene. I heard it was in their culture and genes | ||

I heard it was in their culture and genes 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. | ||
