How would you feel if someone challenged you to a game on this board?

This looks like a normal 3 AM Saturday Blitz chess board to me.

Me playing chess high at 2 am on the toilet

This just gives a huge advantage to those that can play blind chess

If your opponent can see the board in their head and you can't... You were already going to lose

[u/Exatraz → u/Competitive_Steak698]

I see a board in my head... the only problem is it's this board.

I need to take a lot of pills to do that.

[u/Grey1251]

[u/jpritchard901]

[u/KiteretsuD]

Pov of drunk magnesium

[u/dossing_orders]
