Why is Chess unpopular in Japan? They should make chess anime

>>68493944
everyone who has ever watched an anime should be hung from a lamp post

>>68493944
that's not even mate
stupid nips

There is High School DxD :^)

>>68494257
Yes, it is.

>>68494488
Queen to the first rank is still playable so no it isn't (yet)

>>68494488
no it isn't, the white queen still can block it for 1 move

>>68494257
Mate in one. I feel like at a tournament they'd call it, or white would concede.

Because chess in anime is retarded

>>68493944
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.

Not always. This board position from Guilty Crown would be very familiar for chess aficionados such as myself.

Shogi is better.

>>68493944
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

>>68495323
>they're moves
Let me guess, you're a French Canadian with English as your second language.

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.

>>68493944
Because chess is stupid unlike go is smart

Chess is far superior to your Chinese games.

More like chess is the father of turn based chinese strategy games.

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.

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).

Given that pic related literally happened, I don't think so.

They have their own version of Chess I believe, it's called Shogi.

>>68497701
Chess is too saturated nowadays. It more of a memory game now since all possible moves are found out.

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.
