minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·9 months agoI’d love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.
minus-squareArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·9 months agoThe game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I’d allow it.
