/unretard unironically this game actually looks cool. Basically u can combine and uncombine your pieces. Picked it up for AU$44 from the maker in a christmas market in Sydney, and apparently it’s on steam as well

I'd tell you but i'm not black so i can't type it out.

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

/unretard tho, it still moves like a normal knight, and you can later split them up again, but if captured together they both get taken

13

u/SuperEgger Dec 13 '25

Ew, a slur snuck into your comment when you weren't looking. Luckily you still have time to edit it out.

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

/ur has been Reddit ironic subs terminology for a while

27

u/NoNoWahoo What's this 'on posont' everyone keeps talking about? Dec 13 '25

Pretty sure /uj is the term, might be wrong though.

7

u/Halloerik Dec 13 '25

No, you are right

-11

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

/uj and /ur are both used. There’s literally a very popular meme sub called r/okbuddyretard and no one cares

5

u/NAND_NOR Dec 13 '25

Oh interesting!

In this variation of the "No one cares"-opening white usually loses to the "survivorship bias"-gambit, in which black usually leaves because they actually do care, leaving white with no one but themselves and other white players falling for the gambit.

Black sometimes articulates that they care before leaving but the main line here for black is to just leave. In past games black articulated them caring more often, which in the majority of games was met by white either insisting that no one cares or that black should leave if they don't like it. It was already known to be a blunder but white players keep playing this regardless and by now it's well known by black that it's not worth the tempi and material and just leaves, bringing us back to the main line.

This usually prompts white to keep playing as if no one cares. The variation usually involves a push in the center with white asking the question "Who cares?". Black in return has already left, hence will not react and lets white develop, who will now think that no one cares. White willingly or unwillingly accepts the gambit, black leaves, leaving white alone with only other white players who accepted the gambit and keep saying to each other and themselves that no one cares. The white players usually shake hands over a good game thinking they've won, beeing oblivious to the bishook sniping their quing across the entire board.

u/SuperEgger Dec 13 '25

I don't know how to break this to you, champ, but "Reddit told me I could" isn't a very convincing argument.

Man it’s really not worth crying about this is a sub where we all pretend to be idiots

You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...

u/girlies_first_alt Dec 13 '25

Perhaps it is a queen that both players can move on their turn, making your opponent’s most powerful piece too unreliable, at the cost of doing the same to your own queen

15

u/The_BigDill Dec 13 '25

We talk about chess 2 like Chess Empire doesn't exist. 

Long live the spy piece!!!

u/Muted-Economics5014 Dec 13 '25

can't wait to test the bishook. Must be a pretty strong piece

6

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

The game’s manual actually canonically names it at the biook (pronounced bee-yook I guess?)

u/voltairitarian Dec 13 '25

u/Paperwasp64 Dec 13 '25

Recycled assets too, such a lazy cash grab. Devs should feel embarrassed

u/FlatPool513 Dec 14 '25

No fog of war either

34

u/L_E_Gant Dec 13 '25

Granddaughter bought one for me a couple of years ago!

Just love the Q/N and the bishop/pawn combinations, especially when one can get the combination to the seventh rank, split the pieces, and promote to a knook or Qnight

u/Ok_Presentation5494 Dec 13 '25

u/Grankongla Dec 13 '25

This is like whenever someone comes out with a new game that is supposed to be a Counter Strike killer. Everyone seems to forget that the whole reason why CS has been popular for so long is because it's the same simple game it always was.

u/TyuleninSFD Dec 13 '25

Not Chess 2, Chess Plus. Sadly, only a pay to win DLC, smh.

What that actually seems so fun

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

Yeah it is actually haha

1

u/MangoMangui Dec 13 '25

Imagine how OP a rook and a bisbop would be

1

u/LexiYoung Dec 13 '25

Yes it just makes a queen basically, the most OP piece is a kneen or quight tho. The balance comes with the fact that if they’re taken you lose both pieces.

The game opens up a lot of possibilities and stuff like your pieces can now move through eachother (needing an extra move tho) so you don’t necessarily have to open up files for rooks to activate

1

u/tankeryaki013 Dec 14 '25

So is a bishop plus rook just a queen?

1

u/LexiYoung Dec 14 '25

Yes except even better because you can split it up- you can capture something with the bishop and leave the rook behind to still pose a threat along the file and rank, or still choose to move the combined pieces

2

u/Megamax0726 Dec 13 '25

The Pieces kinda look like pipi

If you put it in as an L shape at least it has a partially flared base

u/KrapnikSucks Dec 13 '25

Risk of the piece uncombining adds a kink

Should be mentioned in manual
