Underpromotion

Sometimes it is bad to promote a pawn to a queen. People will often pick knight for mate, or rook/bishop to avoid stalemate. Fix chess so I can torchure people with 5 knights please.

Stop trolling chess theory


Funny thing about chess, positional situations often trump blindly depending on piece values.

Funnier thing, that's also part of chess theory. So I guess this i like Soviet Russia, because chess theory is trolling YOU.

Cincinnatus, you try playing White and having Kg5 and Pf7 against Kh7. Wouldn't you rather be able to do f8=R insread of f8=Q instant stalemate?

Only a troll wouldn't promote his pawn to a queen.
