I - Emperor (the letter K is already taken by the Knight)
Q - Queen (again, the letter K)
Just a fantasy :D
By the way, most of my peers don't know how to play chess :smile04:, but I love it :)

What shall we name the establishment?
Chess is more interesting than checkers; the units are different there. There's also a special website for chess where you can play with anyone you want.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

I know about that, I've already played it. But it's with strangers, plus you can't really step away, and sometimes the opponents take 10 minutes per turn. Overall, the forum option is more appealing to me personally.

Chess is fun, but I don't play it often. I prefer strategy games.

Why? Play with people you know; there's even an in-game chat (like in an MMORPG :D), and someone might be around on the forum for about 10 minutes.
In real life, I only have one acquaintance who plays. And a couple more... But I've even given them a "child's mate" (I don't remember exactly on which move, but the principle is that an unskilled opponent makes such an unfortunate move with the pieces that they expose their king, and checkmate is delivered with either a queen or a rook).

Half true :D
And even those who did manage... their internet experience ends with VKontakte :smile04:
And they probably only think about girls, working out, booze, and weed.
P.S. Maybe someone could “design” a more sensible map? :)

Hmm, there are chess games on Skype too. No, I don't know much about tactics in chess; I plan no more than 2-3 moves ahead, and my intuition guides me.

I used to be able to do it, but I've forgotten now.

Ah, a sub-forum for "serious topics" would be useful... because not everything should be posted in Philosophy.
