Care for a game of squiggly chess?

[ttimo@mastodon.social]

@catsalad omg it's not even symmetric for black and white either

@catsalad I'll bet if you play this drunk it'll go back to normal.

@stefan @catsalad "squares"

[waitworry@sakurajima.moe]

@aismallard just more annoying

@tilton @catsalad

... that assumes that the white and red sqvares take up the same area... and that would be a LOT of calculus...

@catsalad

That is evil.

@catsalad I wonder if this would function as a handicap on a grandmaster (since it would probably play havoc with their pattern recognition).

I mean, definitely a handicap for both players, but perhaps more so the person with more experience!

[chip_unicorn@im-in.space]

@Azulrin @catsalad That. Would. Be. Evil.

[bcasiello@floss.social]

@catsalad @toxy Only if the board is alkaline. If not, you have to drop baking soda.

[bcasiello@floss.social]

@catsalad I want to play on that board with jello pieces. Wibbly wobbly squiggly wiggly chess.

@eruonna @linuxandyarn @catsalad @alice Me too. Definitely my first-ever subscription.
