This is an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decides the next move. The game also includes Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game.

Like how the Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo. Pawns can also promote to Knooks.

Posts will also contain placeholder moves put there by me because the show must go onand i’ll remove my own vote, so anyone elses move should be higher ranked than mine immediately after its published. Placeholder moves can be upvoted and downvoted like any others.
