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

CAPS vs lowercase

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

And they definitely need to make the spaces squares.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 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".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

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