I would probably be flailing around because usually I just react to whatever my opponent does.

i just did like, an optimal opening, and his defense let me get a ton of control for free

and then the one time he had a good play he made the wrong one

the thing is
you have to surrender pieces to break my defense
quite a few of them

#33684
#33685

not many people are happy when it comes to the idea of surrendering pieces

#33686

but every piece i took gave me more reward than loss

every single one favored me

#33687

a lot of people would rather look for a hole in the defense than be forced to surrender pieces just to break through
but if i do it right, there’s no holes in my defense
gotta make sacrifices

#33688

most people would just snipe one of my rooks
you have no idea how long it took me to create a counter to that

#33689

aaa i dont wanna learn a game rn

theres always holes

you’re giving up a lot of control

#33690

hole as in
you can’t get past it without giving up pieces for every move you spend trying to break through

#33691

It’s only a 5 minute basic tutorial.

#33692

at a glance this game seems breakable

White is the one with the advantage

#33694

What do you mean by that?

#33695

i can already see multiple strategies that have only 1 counter

It’s been around for a long time and there isn’t one strategy that dominates.

#33697

actually this has 2 counters

but depending on how i do it there’s only 1 consistent counter

and it looks identical from glance

i don’t really feel like thinking too hard on how to make this even stronger

but i think theoretically i can force a defensive strategy that you can only beat if you play perfectly

#33698

Press X to doubt.

#33699

i might be missing something

but i dont think i am

in a 40 piece game tho this prob wouldnt work so /shrug
