An alternative chess platform

dadGPT@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

i couldnt excel in chess, so decided to chess in excel

Darkard@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

I promote my pawn to pivot table

Maia [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zone · vor 2 Jahren

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

runjun@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

♔♚ ♕♛ ♖♜ ♗♝ ♘♞ ♙♟︎

BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca · vor 2 Jahren

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

The Picard Maneuver@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

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”.

GreatTitEnthusiast@mander.xyz · vor 2 Jahren

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

The Picard Maneuver@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

Brilliant

MajorHavoc@programming.dev · vor 2 Jahren

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

AThing4String@sh.itjust.works · vor 2 Jahren

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

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

MajorHavoc@programming.dev · vor 2 Jahren

Lol. Fair enough. I’m not sure which would be worse.

AThing4String@sh.itjust.works · vor 2 Jahren

In the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.

morrowind@lemmy.ml · vor 2 Jahren

Did you find out?

Otherwise I may

goferking (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.org · vor 2 Jahren

I think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side

Neato@ttrpg.network · vor 2 Jahren

Definitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.

radicalautonomy@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

And they definitely need to make the spaces squares.

nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee · vor 2 Jahren

CAPS vs lowercase

SorteKanin@feddit.dk · vor 2 Jahren

Is there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you’re only color blind.

Terminus@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

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

solirs · vor 2 Jahren

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

neidu2@feddit.nl · vor 2 Jahren

Finally I can do something useful through SharePoint

Verito@lemm.ee · vor 2 Jahren

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

Olmai@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

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 · vor 2 Jahren

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

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · vor 2 Jahren

Source code?

HM King Charles III DG FD@feddit.uk · vor 2 Jahren

Give it FICS integration

WanakaTree@lemm.ee · vor 2 Jahren

Just make sure when pieces get taken you drag them under the board instead of deleting them. Otherwise what will you do when you need to promote a pawn?

Tier 1 Build-A-Bear 🧸@lemmy.world · vor 2 Jahren

There’d be no coming back!

Lepsea@sh.itjust.works · vor 2 Jahren

You can be the first human to do en passant on that platform

WanakaTree@lemm.ee · vor 2 Jahren

Even better, you could write a macro so en passant would be forced
