Infomercial? Or forums post? You decide.

OK, so I made up a really awesome game at school.

We got to play Chess at Language Arts, (idk why, day before brake?), and my friend and I came up with a much less boring version.
I love chess, got nothing against it, but after a few matches, it got boring! My soululululululululution: ACTION CHESS!
Action Chess is a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, fun chess game that I made up. Action Chess is played almost the same as Chess. Here are the differences/rules.

** You can only move the pieces the original way that they move, and killing the king still makes you win.
** When taking out another player, you can try to kick the other player's piece and try to get it to knock over (kill) another of their pieces.
** (my favorite rule) If a King or Queen is behind a pawn of their color, they can use their turn to kick their pawn to the other side of the field and try to knock over other pieces with it. After kicking the pawn, it is dead.
** All corpses stay on the field. No bringing back corpses even if you reached the other side.
** You earn "Irony Points" by killing the king with one of his own men.
** Along with the last rule, Irony Bonus awards another dollar or eraser cap or whatever you are betting to the player who got bonus.
** People watching can make bets if they wish.
** Bets are not needed.

I will put a video link here of how to play later, it is sort of funny, I laughed forever while playing. If you play it, it's fun. The kicking your own pawn rule is better when you watch the video.

No, that's not similar.  big_smile  Not at all.
But we do get plenty of that here.  tongue
And what is "Chest?" haha I know you mean chess but I like making fun of typos.

I cam here to vote for infomercials and it's just this.  sad


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
