How do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead

Was thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it definitely needs to be color coded.

The other thing that would bother me is that if you're playing black, you have to play upside down. I wonder if there would be a way to "flip the board".

Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board

Brilliant

That sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!

[–] AThing4String@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn't involve VBA.

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

Why does black get to go first? 1. E5? (good meme though)

[–] Solaris1789@jlai.lu 0 points 2 years ago

white actually went first but they played the swedish samba (Kf3, Kg1)

I'll raise you rnbqkbnr/ppppp1ppp/8/4p3/4P3/8/pppp1ppp/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2. Come at me bro.

[–] Olmai@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know the format but shouldn't it be rnbqkbnr/pppp1ppp/8/4p3/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2 to remove the pawn ambiguity ?

[–] Verito@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Aw fu, I mean..You see through my plan THIS time... Erm.. yeah.
