So with two of teamliquid’s favourite hobbies being chess and real-time strategy I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in/currently plays:

Tempest Chess

It’s real time chess. I know that sounds insane and to be honest, it’s a pretty crazy game. I played some high ranked guy on fast standard and he’d managed to take my entire back row while I’d being moving my pawn. I don’t think I’d ever had so much fun get my ass handed to me though.

It basically plays like you’d expect something called real-time chess to but with two features that make it playable. The first is that it takes time for your piece to move across the board, so you can move your piece out of the way if you’re fast enough. The second is a delay after making a move before you can move the same piece again, which stops you making insane suicide moves. Both lengths of time can be varied but I recommend fast standard for the true omg what the hell is going on experience.

I now have to go work on knight micro.

This game is so much fun, a friend showed me this a while ago. Tough to get games against people who aren't really good though :|

A LONG time ago I used to play something I think was called sumochess which was exactly the same thing, but I lost the site and haven't bothered with it since. They also had a mode for a 4 player ffa in a big square where your pawn could eat their pawn and knight if they weren't fast enough it made for some crazy games.

I'm owning it up with an 0-8 record. My normal chess skills will kick in soon, I'm sure.

Reading the title, I was thinking it was just chess with a timer. Seeing the demo, I can say that it is a an awesome concept. If they enhance the graphics and add sounds then games like this I am willing to buy as an indie title.

I have to say it does look like some really trippy stuff. Unfortunately I suck at chess =P Can't spend my all my APM microing pieces randomly.
