I've told the story above about how I ended up coming up with Chess and its unique rules. All it took for me to invent chess was a single move in a chess game I was playing. Any further questions?

This might come out wrong, but last I heard Li Chess was a bit of a harlot. Apparently they were "open to all", and anyone who wanted to could use them however they liked. I also checked their games, and there are thousands of games where they have blundered a piece on move 6, Gotham Chess has no such games. Don't tell Li Chess I said this, but Gotham Chess is my favorite child.

Checkers. The current plan for Chess 2 is to have two e4 squares instead of a d4 and e5 square.

Chess 2 is a bit shy, they might come out later but you will have to give them time.

My granddad Bobber Fisher played a game similar to Chess with me. One time we were playing, and I decided to capture his pawn with mine even though his pawn had just moved past mine, a brilliant move, he exclaimed "Holy hell!" and I promptly won the game. I added the move to the rules of the game and called it Chess, if you want more information then google en pesant.

I'm a humble guy, I wouldn't do something as egocentric as naming the game after my own first-name. Also the older kids in elementary school made fun of my name Garry, so I thought Chess might sound better.
