How do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead

Was thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 22 points 11 months ago

Definitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Yeah, 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".

Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board

That sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!

[-] AThing4String@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn't involve VBA.

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Lol. Fair enough. I'm not sure which would be worse.

In the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Did you find out?

Otherwise I may

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago

I think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

And they definitely need to make the spaces squares.

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

CAPS vs lowercase

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 11 months ago

Is there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you're only color blind.
