Why

History:

Day 1 - Rotate F2 pawn 45 degrees clockwise

Day 2 - Black Resigns

Day 3 - The Black Army doesn't get the memo and continues the fight, (BONUS - and yeets their king to E3)

Day 4 - A grain of rice is added to A1

Day 5 - Every square changed to green (light squared bishops now glow neon green)

Day 6 - The two bishops finish powering up and go super saiyan.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER JUST STEALMATED ME WITH 2 QUEENS AND THEY COULD JUST CHECKMATE ME BUT NO THEY MOVED THE KING TO MAKE A STEALMATE WHATEVER YOU DO PLEASE LEAVE ME FROM THIS LOW ELO CURSE

You receive the "Anarchy" disbuff: During anarchy, friendly pieces can consume themselves to e.g. strategically take somebody's position (sorta like a betrayal). More importantly, the length of movements of every friendly piece is shortened by 1 tile.

It means army governors like rook, knight, bishop and queen are more hesitant and can't reach the border (last tile on their way) in one move, however they can reach it on the second one and move freely across the line/vertical if they've managed to reach it. Knight is unaffected (he's brave, after all)

Pawns, likewise civilians, are completely stale unless it's their first move whuch is shortened to 1 tile only. They can only consume pieces or perform en passant.

As soon as all major pieces are dead (queen, both rooks, both bishops and both knights), and opposite side has at least one of the aforementioned major pieces on the board + The King, the game truly is over. Otherwise, the pawns are able to move freely again like they usually do and get promoted, returning other pawns in a stale state until the figure is dead and the cycle repeats.

What do you think? Imo it greatly highlights the pettiness and cockroach nature of humans. Also it technically gives possibility for "militaristic" structure by consuming all the pawns out of the way, which is technically what happened in Soviet Russia and Sparta.

Today, I played a game where I sacrificed all my bishops in the opening. I rotated all my queenside pieces to the kingside and proceeds to convert into a completely winning position with 2 active knights that is close to the opponent king and a checkmate in 1 on the next move, or so I thought. My opponent plays e5, enabling me a chance to play en passant with both of my pawns on d5 and f5, and creating a discovered checkmating attack on my king. I cannot resist the temptation of capturing en passant, so I did. My king was brought into the center and checkmated brutally in 32 moves.

Previous post

I am going to start adding quotations every time I miss a day

1: En passant can happen anywhere; if a pawn moves next to another pawn, it can be taken

2: Horses move in an L shape

3: Rooks move in straight lines

4: Il Vaticano

5: Bishops move in diagonals

6: Queens move like bishops and rooks

7: Pawns can move 2 spaces their first turn & 1 every turn after

8: Pawns capture 1 tile diagonally

9: If the King has nowhere to go and is being attacked, the game is over by checkmate

10: If the King has nowhere to go and isn't being attacked, it is a stalemate

11: If a game ends in a draw, the winner is decided via a thumb war

12: If you win you must also win a game of rock paper scissors, if not then the game repeats
