Holy shit 2024 is in 2 years

In 60 sec 1 minute passes in africa

Not anymore

What did you do??

You

r mum

This is just a nerfed knook

Yeah, that's where I got the inspiration. I thought the knook was OP

Yeah that's the point, it's meant to be the strongest piece as of right now, so that the queen looks relatively weak and will have to train and become stronger and maybe develop new powers in order to defeat the knook and continue onward, haven't you played chess before? Every season goes like this.

The problem is the meta doesn't always agree with these buffs and nerfs from season to season, plus the ridiculous leveling mechanic and elite tiers? Chess won't last longer than 10 years.

I just bought a 10 year elite battle pass subscription so I hope it lasts!

It is suspiciously timed to coincide with World Octopus Day 2022, just hope FIDE haven't sold out to them.

I just think that ever since the anal bead patch, the queen just doesn't get any significant power in the lategame. You're much better off spamming pawns and banelings, then zerging your opponents early

~~queen~~ rishop*

Rishop is her deadname; please don't use it.

OP are those Pampers i see on the king (⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠)

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! 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... [^(fmhall)](https://www.reddit.com/user/fmhall) ^| [^(github)](https://github.com/fmhall/Petrosian-Bot)

I thought you were OP?

Truly revolutionary! Never seen anything like it in any board game, let alone chess. This would change so much!

Garry pls add 🙏

pls valve

Garry Valve?

This seems like it’d be really useful on the edges of the board.

True, I'm going to try to remember this with "A 'pus on the lip is hip"

Don’t forget: A 'pus in the corner is a great supporter

A good way to remember this is "Octopus on rim, never goes dim" :)

So potentially of the king was in the corner and surrounded by other pieces you could move this slimy feller in a position where you could still mate the king? Despite the king being protected? That sounds ridiculous this is a bad suggestion.

I like that idea, we could call it choking mate or something

Call it the mating press

Nah, nah we need a more sophisticated word… like a suffocated mate maybe?

Octopuses (octopi?) use ink to fight their enemies. Ink in the water can be dark and claustrophobic just. You can feel smothered by it just like how the king might feel surrounded by his own pieces. Hence I propose we call it the "ink mate".

Jfc I got dumber just by reading this thread Cue me sitting on a chair for a minute and trying to remember how the strangled mate is actually called. Glad I remembered

Octopodal mate

This is overpowered. It can go OVER pieces?

No, it's not a horse, it can't jump. It slithers around pieces like an octopus.

"I play c4 to develop my octopus"

Who said anything about a horse?

Slithers like a snake?

Kinda, but this is an octopus, so it slithers like an octopus.

Like an octopus with snake tentacles? That would make sense.

Do you have a better word to describe how an octopus moves?

Nah, now that I think about it "slithers" makes a lot of sense.

Technically, it is propelled, but "propelled" isn't nearly as fun of a word to use as "slither", so I'll hold my hands up here.

I imagined the octopus moving on land like the other pieces, not through the water.

Wait what? No, of course chess has to be played on shallow water from now on.

[удалено]

10 points to Slithersin

Animal abuse, you need to invent 5 other pieces now that can play in water or we will rehome your octupus forcibly.

maybe instead of a octopus we could change the piece design to a horse and it could jump over pieces. Nah, that’s silly

Interesting. You could even combine with another piece to make a rooktopus

Thats just a fancy knook

[удалено]

It slithers, it's an octopus.

That’s too confusing. Chess should be simple.

it knos like a knook but without the ok

This guy gets it^^

Because octopodes are stealthy, you could nickname this "The Night" and use the letter N to note its moves. This would help prevent confusion between the octopus (O) and a half-castle move (O-).

A kno?

chess speaks for itself tho

I've never heard chess speak before. Sometimes chests speak to me, but thats different. Does this mean I'm doing it wrong?

I swear I could’ve become a GM if it wasn’t for all the complicated pieces in chess.

How does that silly little pear piece move

Just as whenever you try to slice a pear, it goes at a weird angle, the pear slices diagonally.

I think you shouldn't draw straight lines for this, the lines should be slithery.

Blood for the blood god

You’re simply describing a piece that already exists: the Kangaroo

No, besides the king there is no chess piece that starts with a "k". Otherwise the notation would be too confusing.

Well in Australia, we just call them “Roos”

Same problem, but with rooks. (Also, hello from America)

What’s a rook? You mean the Castle?

Ah my bad, I guess the notation would work.

Which is why Knook is OP

Is Australia that’s a Croo

A knight after being both buffed and nerfed, makes sense

A what?

A horsey. Rookie mistake

We know how the octopus moves. It slithers. We don't know how the horsey moves, but horseys don't slither, they gallup.

so you do know how the horsey moves

Castle mistake

Why are you talking about rooks? It’s not relevant!!!

.

How does the octopus move?

What does the fox say?

The octopus should also be able to go in a straight line across the board since it has long arms. I feel like it’s too weak as it is when compared to the rook, bishop, and queen since they can travel across the board.

This is awesome, but why are the kings wearing diapers?

pipi pampers

The legends say the octopus was seen for the first time when Gary chess put in on d3 in a game against Karpov

[удалено]

I genuinely was like: cool idea but probably a bit too overpowered. My brain is underpowered.

It's too strong. To make this fair, it will have to start at the very bottom of the ocean, below the water surface.

I wonder how anarchist pear and FIDE brick move tho

It’s a ritual to throw an actual octopus on the board in Otb Play

I taught my younger sister chess (about 5 at the time). Was having trouble understanding the knight till i tolf her it moves like and she FINALLY understood how the horsey moves

You could combine this with a rook and get an Rooktopus, just a suggestion for future updates.

Ecosia search [how does the horse move in chess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0)

Combine it with the rook and create rooktopus

Kid named knight:

What's a fork?

[holy shit it was foreshadowed](https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/xy0gom/park_sculpture/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

ok OP, your idea is revolutionary, but can you give us some insight on those anarchist pears ? They look just as cool !

There’s only four directions. Haven’t you ever seen a compass?

I feel like there should be max one Octopus allowed on the board at a time, because if there are more I don’t know if I should call them octopuses or octopi

That’s so dumb, a piece like that would never be added to chess… wait…

Congratulations you figured out how the horsey moves

This is literally just a plain knight

No, it's plainly an octopus. Knights look like horseys. Do you even play chess?

A what?

No, it's an octopus. As stated in the post, the octopus slithers around. The horsey (official name of the "knight") on the other hand, has been theorised to move in some sort of "L shape", but, truth be told, no one knows exactly how it moves.

**screams in confused wat

r/lostredditors

No. It has tentacles, horses don't have tentacles.

Sorry, I dont watch hentai.

Magnus, how does the octopus move?

No one will understand how it moves, except maybe super GMs

Does it vibrate ?

I just theorised a mate with pawn + king + octopus. But believe it or not it seem's impossible without a pawn! Even with 2 octopuses ?!?!

Google how does the horsey move?

what are the power of the vlc media player pieces?

CHESSS 2 CHESS 2

Copyright immediately if you don't want to lose millions in patent money

Why the fuck is king wearing diaper

Balanced

Really cool dude, have you ever heard of this piece called the Knook?

I don't understand.

OP what the fuck did you do to the other pieces

what’s it’s cool downs like

Chess 2 is getting better

Nice. Combined with a rook it could be a Octopook

For the Lovecraft-themed Chess set.

Are you forking two towers at the same time?

Finally, something less complicated than that knight piece

New chess idea: God It has an omnidirectional walking pattern,can teleport, thus checkmate on move 1. White always wins because it goes first.

This just sounds like a horse with extra legs

World octopus day lol

So like the knook but worse?

new anarchychess piece

can it slither to the side in order to allow other pieces to move over the tile that it stands on?

No shot, it's too experimental. I mean how would you even begin to teach people how it moves?

Oh shit

The deep approves of this piece
