This is an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decides the next move. The game also includes Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game.

Like how the Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo. Pawns can also promote to Knooks.

Posts will also contain placeholder moves put there by me because the show must go onand i’ll remove my own vote, so anyone elses move should be higher ranked than mine immediately after its published. Placeholder moves can be upvoted and downvoted like any others.

woo day 50!!!

This is an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decides the next 7. move. The game also includes Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game.

The bishops went on vacation have returned (original games were only to last a day) and can now be placed on their sides back 3 ranks on an empty square of the colour they were originally on. White side bishop's -> white square. Black side bishop's on a black square. EG; Bc7=B. It your unsure of algebraic notation, just say the intended move.

Like how the Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo.

Arbiters Note: There was some confusion during white's last move, however after consideration, a reply to a comment for Ne5 had more significantly more votes than any other commenter and was taken to be the will of the white team. If this is not the case, a top move of "Retract move - New 7th move: " will count as a retraction.

The first row of pieces has fallen

We should put a knook on the lemmy canvas top right when it opens today

If this is not the case, a move of "Retract move" will be put in for their eighth move so another move can be substituted for their 7th move.

Rotating board to player whose turn it is will be default going forward.

Timeframe changed to 11 hours for the long timeslot so I can walk it forward if needed. I mean it when i say it'll be after X hours, not surprise anyone with a 5 mins early move.

(Kingside bishops went on vacation, Knooks started in their place. Knook is O in Algebraic notation)

Board rotation should be standard now when its to move as black and have minimalist square notation of 1, 8, A and H.

Rumor on the street is the Bishops only went for a short vacation and might be coming back soon.

The Ice age continues.

Probably the most lazy edit of the game, sorry about that
I'm trying out an image hosting site recomended by @CookieJarObserver@feddit.de on day 5

Now for an announcement:
I have uploaded every image, extra image, 2D image and metadata from all the days to a github repo here, I update it every day

Next move will have pieces shown from their perspective and probably some form of square numbering.

From today times will likely be 6 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours. This gives 3 moves a day and sides alternate the long move time. Initial post with game FAQ: https://lemmy.world/post/2490148

Ignore the mouse cursor at c6.

Knook has algebraic notation symbol of O and called up last minute to fill in for Kingside Bishops' who went on vaction, they wont come back while the game is running.

3. Nf3 Nh6

Unless the game finishes earlier, Blacks 6th move will be significantly longer, around 8 hours due to sleep.

Black is slated to get a long time to move in a few hours ( to counter for moving second). If the game is still going 24 hours after that, white will get long time to move.

Whites move and Blacks following move will be at 120 minutes, then afterwards it'll be 60 minutes for a few turns. The next post may have a delay in getting a graphic up

Image to be uploaded shortly.

Ive added a FAQ to the first post of the game. https://lemmy.world/post/2490148
