Omega Chess Review. Review of commercial Chess variant set.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I wish that uneducated chess players will stop complaining about draw possibilities. Don't you get it? A well played game by both sides will result in a draw.

In omega chess - the rook and king vs king is a draw - deal with it.

Stalemate was a beautiful improvement to ancient chess and is here to stay.

The problem in regular chess is NOT draws - it is short draw offers and opening memorization - (too much games are played out) .

Another thing - while this is a great variant, it is even more useful for stronger players. Weaker players can stick to regular chess or if they hate the draw rules and cannot understand the beauty of them - give up chess.
