The analogy is correct, but you're not the person playing chess, you're a single disposable pawn.

That'd imply my life has some kind of specific direction.

Best I can do is a pissant.

I saw someone move a pawn diagonally to an empty square once. I think my game must have glitched.

Did one of your pawns despawn as well? The servers have been really unstable for forever, smh

Yes, exactly!

Have you tried turning the chess board off and on again?

Whoa, did you get early access to Chess 2??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm an early access supporter mostly for the exclusive hats and 100,000 bonus Chess Credz. I got a Platinum Legends Adrian Peterson Rook Card in one of my first packs.

It can be a legal move. A pawn moving 2 squares was added to speed up the game. To keep the balance, "en Passant" was also added. If a pawn uses a double move, on the next turn only, a pawn can capture it, as if it only moved 1 square. This leads to a diagonal move by the attacking pawn, and the defending pawn being removed from a different square.
