minus-squareLxrduy@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoHow do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead
minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoDefinitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.
minus-squareBeigeAgenda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoWas thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoYeah, 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”.
minus-squaregoferking0@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoI think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side
minus-squareGreatTitEnthusiast@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoProbably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board
minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoThat sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!
minus-squareAThing4String@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoI can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn’t involve VBA. They WOULD be a nightmare though.
minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoLol. Fair enough. I’m not sure which would be worse.
minus-squareAThing4String@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoIn the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.
minus-squareradicalautonomy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoAnd they definitely need to make the spaces squares.
minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoIs there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you’re only color blind.

CAPS vs lowercase
Definitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.
