No, I suck at chess.

Are there any good moe chess games out there?

Come back when you play shougi.

Chess stresses me out too much. Even my imouto always beat me at it.

I suck but okay.

Huh. If there aren't, I'm kinda surprised nobody's done this.

Current players are fucking noobs.

I got my ass kicked.

Chess is a crappy tactical turn based RPG developed by a bunch of monkeys.

Right away you'll notice Chess has no storyline. Instead, all you notice is the the White army and the Black army are fighting each other over a battlefield. Note the "a battlefield," because Chess only has one story map.

As for the actual combat, it's extremely dull. Each unit can kill another with only one hit. This means units with a real good movement ability dominate the field (more on that bellow). There aren't even any combat animations or anything that happens in combat. One unit moves on it's space and "captures" it, and the piece is removed from the game with no form of action or special effects.

Yawn.

Chess has shitty class balance. The Queen is flat out overpowered while your actual front line units, the Pawns. can't do shit. I think the developers were afraid that no one would use the female character so they buffed up her abilities really high but now theres no point in using any other unit.

The rest of the units suck. Rooks can only move in 4 directions, same with Bishops. Boring. Also, whats up with the Knight? It has the most bizzare combat abilities of all the units. They're retardly hard to use cause they jump around like retards to move and attack. The devs should have named this unit Ninja, since Knights didn't jump around like that in real life.

Worst part, is the king. You see, the devs decided that if your king gets captured, you instantly lose the game. W-T-F? This wouldn't be a problem, except that he can't move for crap. Seriously, the most important unit in the game can only move 1 space a turn? Good luck keeping him alive while every other unit in the game dances around him.

Unbalanced classes, lackluster gameplay, and not to mention repetitive 1 hour+ games. Chess is not worth the time or your money. Buy Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea instead.

3 out of 10.

Mahjong was here, chess is a loser.

It's boring without real money involved!

Japanese suck at chess because it consists of a few simple rules and mastership of the game consists on strategy rather than game balance. While Shougi has many shitty rules and gameplay depends on them rather than player's strategy. And Shougi is still a carboncopy of master race China, anyway.

you are not prepare.

God I never manage to think further than 2 turns

This could be better if it wasn't written by someone who doesn't know even the basics of chess strategy

Next dream: tears of blood in the extra stage. Err, I mean good luck. I would like you to challenge. 10 minutes per player, I'm black

Are there any ways to play Mahjong professionally in the Western world (ie. online)?
If it's a strategy game where correct strategy is too complex to be solved, and thus opponents can make costly mistakes against a better player (I have the impression this is the case), it could be an interesting alternative for poker

>>7256086
Karuta!

>>7256103
I guess dragonkong.com and mahjongtime.com are the only real alternatives if you're after a strictly western site. Never taken a close look, but I think they support numerous rulesets, Chinese, European riichi, and others.

Chessboard flipping like a pro.

Wonder if anyone is at 7447. Probably not

>>7256926

Doesn't look like it. Just me.

>>7256962

One more person for "HAIL MARY at the 10 yard line" mode I guess.

I am too beta to make my own game, so I will merely wait around until someone else makes one, even though I will probably lose anyways.
