!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Not quite true. Before the ~15th century, the queen moved like the king and the pawns could only move 1 square from their starting square. These changes were made to make the game more exciting and less slow.

Also castling and en Passant

But bots have become a big problem for this game recently.

White is OP, known issue since 1889 and devs haven't addressed it. Dead game

>not a single balance update since the 8th century

You're just begging AnarchyChess to correct you.

They're going to tell me to google something. I can feel it.

You should only be Googling things en passant, and not hang around too long.

I’ll show myself out.
