Pretty sure we're unsure about how the Elephant moves.

nah it's a safe bet that it jumps 2 squares diagonally.

So I also study middle egyptian for fun and I can read this inscription, sort of (it's easier than u think). It says (from right to left, top to bottom):

(first 2 columns)
An offering which the King gives Nekbet (a goddess)

(third column)
a voice offering (prayer) to Osiris (the avatar of the Creator)

(4th column)
Holy Queen Nefertiti (the picture of her is also a word).

The implication is that you should offer a prayer or voice offering, BUT ALSO that you could play a game of chess as an offering to Nefertiti, or in her honor.

yea we know exactly how it was played.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaturanga

you can play it on chess.com (in the variants section).

more popular modern variants are fischer random (960) and duck chess (you must move the duck).

Queen Nefertiti, 14th century BCE, playing some kind of chess/board game.

There were other games, many lost to time, and a lot of them used dice (think backgammon) but obviously the skill-based games have been more popular as time went on.

no, xiangqi is Chinese Chess and that's another other game too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi

Both "Chinese" and "Japanese" are correct. Although the game was invented in ancient china, it only survived because it continued to be played in japan and korean for hundred of years. Japan modernized the board to 19x19, for example.

Anyway, I also have a roll-up silicon goban, but you're crazy if you think that's better :P

mine goes "baduk." can't see from the picture, but it's on legs and it's like 6-inches tall so you can sit on the floor and play.

random linguistics:

wieqi = chinese word for go
baduk = korean for go. id argue it's because of the sound the stones make.
igo = another japanese form of "go" showing respect for the game
xiangqi = the game I mentioned, BUT... it's also used in mandarin to mean ANY "chess-like board game." It's similar to a genericized trademark (calling it a "kleenex" even though it's just a tissue, for example)

chess, xiangqi, shogi all come from chaturanga (india, 7th century).

checkers/draughts is even older, at least 3000 years old (played in ancient egypt and sumeria).

weiqi, baduk, go we have evidence of in like 400 bc or so. it could be even older.

it's possible there was some influence between checkers and go.

My goban.

Japanese chess is called Shogi, it's another game too.

Go is actually more like the "dots" game you might have played on paper where you have a grid of dots and you try to make squares and if you make a square you put your letter in the box.

you can play for free here:

? i know what go is. im a single digit kyu player...

yea, reddit sucks.

fuck reddit. into the toilet w/ it.

no one is that big naturally.

still takes a shitton of work, as others have said.

well, eventually you get a feel for things like that. stick with it, go is the best game!

what server are you using? I used to play on Fox and OGS. OGS is the best, it just takes too long to find a match. I also prefer competitive games to auto-match, which OGS doesn't do.

I'm only interested in Doom and Doom 2 and I've played those.

<3_<3

basically: think about how much we've fucked up the planet.

if there would have been a civilization there would have been an extinction event to go along with it.

there are no unexplained extinction events.

we can find fossils of humans and our ancestors, all the way back to weird little rat things. at no point is the gap large enough to fit an entire civilization.
