everyone who has ever watched an anime should be hung from a lamp post
Luke Myers
that's not even mate
stupid nips
Jacob Martinez
There is High School DxD :^)
Christian Gomez
Yes, it is.
Kayden Ortiz
Queen to the first rank is still playable so no it isn't (yet)
Mason Morris
no it isn't, the white queen still can block it for 1 move
Jeremiah Cooper
Mate in one. I feel like at a tournament they'd call it, or white would concede.
Jack Russell
Because chess in anime is retarded
Leo Edwards
The thing is, nippie, that not everyone is as autistic as you, that means that the anime wouldn't be reliable; causing a loss instead of a profit.
Levi Evans
I can read OP's mind and he is a faggot
Ayden Campbell
There is but its called Shogi
Jackson Campbell
Not always. This board position from Guilty Crown would be very familiar for chess aficionados such as myself.

Shogi is better.

I too wonder why chess is unpopular in Japan, but I do not think a chess anime would be representative of the game and if it was it would be tedious to watch
I guess it could be funny because for some reason in anime characters talk to themselves so they would be saying they're moves outloud letting their opponents know
Blake Allen
>they're moves
Let me guess, you're a French Canadian with English as your second language.
Carter Foster

Bentley Johnson
Yes
Hudson Allen
looks gay as fuck

Chess is a crappy tactical turn based RPG developed by a bunch of monkeys.
Right away you'll notice Chess has no storyline. Instead, all you notice is the the White army and the Black army are fighting each other over a battlefield. Note the "a battlefield," because Chess only has one story map.
As for the actual combat, it's extremely dull. Each unit can kill another with only one hit. This means units with a real good movement ability dominate the field (more on that bellow). There aren't even any combat animations or anything that happens in combat. One unit moves on it's space and "captures" it, and the piece is removed from the game with no form of action or special effects.
Yawn.
Chess has shitty class balance. The Queen is flat out overpowered while your actual front line units, the Pawns. can't do shit. I think the developers were afraid that no one would use the female character so they buffed up her abilities really high but now theres no point in using any other unit.
The rest of the units suck. Rooks can only move in 4 directions, same with Bishops. Boring. Also, whats up with the Knight? It has the most bizzare combat abilities of all the units. They're retardly hard to use cause they jump around like retards to move and attack. The devs should have named this unit Ninja, since Knights didn't jump around like that in real life.
Worst part, is the king. You see, the devs decided that if your king gets captured, you instantly lose the game. W-T-F? This wouldn't be a problem, except that he can't move for crap. Seriously, the most important unit in the game can only move 1 space a turn? Good luck keeping him alive while every other unit in the game dances around him.
Unbalanced classes, lackluster gameplay, and not to mention repetitive 1 hour+ games. Chess is not worth the time or your money. Buy Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea instead.
3 out of 10.

Chess pieces have well crafted pieces.
Shogi has pieces of wood with characters on them.
Take your pick.
Julian King
Because chess is stupid unlike go is smart

Chess is far superior to your Chinese games.
Easton Flores
More like chess is the father of turn based chinese strategy games.
By the way whih one do you play?
I played vantage master a lot when I was little.
Carter Thomas
Have you praised Viswanathan today?
Landon Ross
I don't care, but I'm afraid why you gaijin demand stupid ideas come true. Anime is for Japanese.
Wyatt Mitchell
maybe they're trying to psych the opponent out

Know your place eleventh. If you have spare time to write messages on imageboard then better go do some job in the name of Britannia.
Elijah Rogers
Hi Gaijin-san,
we have more complex version: Japanese Shogi chess. The big difference is that once you capture opponent pieces, you can use them as your own (like Zombie).
Dominic Brooks
>Shogi Chess anime by NHK Japan
>looks ""exciting""
Parker Martin
>he did it on purpose to gauge Zero's reaction
Nah, you're giving the writers too much credit.
Nolan Phillips
Given that pic related literally happened, I don't think so.
Henry Martinez
They have their own version of Chess I believe, it's called Shogi.
Sebastian Campbell
Chess is too saturated nowadays. It more of a memory game now since all possible moves are found out.
Logan Reed

It's also not even Zugzwang, this is back-rank
Jaxon Hill
Yes, Go has more possibilities and can not be predicted.
This is what makes chess a better game.
You have a set of strategies available to you and the winner is the one who executes the right one.
Go is a game for people who want to be good at playing Go.
Chess is for people who want to succeed at life.
Sebastian Hughes
>no chess in japan
>make anime out of it
>chess is now popular in japan
this is truly remarquable

God damn this is a good pasta.
