Its the same in normal chess, black usually has to react to what white is doing... in this version thr centrr is balanced. First movrt advantage removed. You would give white thr first move, but not give black a premove before the game? Thats selfish and white supremacist *joking xD* All the weaknesses you mentioned for black are there for white also, if the opening is mirrored, and black has this beautiful g6 knight to attack with. Black not gonna just sit there and take it, it can make threats. I played so many games and thr variant feels amazing. Evaluation bar starts from exact even and then tbe best man wins. This is just a patch I would do, a new expansion, if I was the owner of Chess. Giving black a premove such that the game is fully balanced from beginning 👌

Its not the only best move, all 3 top moves have the same 0.00 eval. Just a little variety. What's wrong with h4, why red flag? Because you're conditioned to have that white advantage and snap the center. In chess 960 variant there are many positions where h4 is best first move. Why not in this variant? The idea behind h4 h5 is to try to dislodge the knight from g6 which is helping black with the center and try to turn it from an asset into a liability. To me this just adds more strategic depth to the game. Why not just play me and see how it feels. Here's the link. https://www.chess.com/daily/seek/1058693149

I completely disagree. From g6 the knight is immediately controlling the center without moving! Its precisely what helps black in the fight for the center. It's the engine that says its completely even, not that it looks even. Full 0.00s with the 3 top moves and responses. If you set up normally the evaluation is +0.2 for white where 1 is a pawn. The engine is the most equipped to evaluate the starting position. I know for fact that knight on g6 helps the center, because its attacking it, but also because one of the 3 top moves is h4 by white, completely abandoning the center mission, because now white doesnt have that extra center advantage and the engine goes to challange and dislodge the g6 knight which yes, is a bit awkwardly placed, but slightly better than before. After all we don't want black to have the advantage, but all even.

Thanks Leo (thank the engine)! If you or anyone else want to play this version in correspondence 7 day per move, here's 2 open challenge links: https://www.chess.com/daily/seek/1058693149 https://www.chess.com/daily/seek/1058693365 ----- I know a bit of "theory" as ive analysed the position with engine and know some standard openings like h4 h5 to start challenging the g6 knight immediately. And blacks best defence is to do the same with his h pawn.. Notice the knight helps black control the center, so now white can go for a flank attack on the first move, as black can easier contest the center.

Guys I have balanced chess. You know how there is first mover advantage. Well I thought, what if we make half a move for Black, before the game even starts, we can achieve a position without any advantage for white. Currently its 1/5th of a pawn advantage for white at the start. I opened up engine and tried many "half moves" and if black knight starts on g6 rather than g8 (so in front of the pawn) then we have complete 0s in the starting position. And this setup makes sense because the black knight we moved still iss on the same colour square as before. I went ahead and made a correspondence tournament which is in progress and has been for a long time, now on round 2. The games have been fun, and i feel equally mighty with both colours. https://www.chess.com/tournament/no-white-advantage-tournament-1

Addiction knocking at the door 😀 Not needing psychedelics, but consciousness work. Realizing this is one thing, staying grounded is another. There is a qualitative difference between nightmare and a good dream. If this knowledge gets in your head, the ego corrupts it. You try to be king rather than God. Jesus is the only King God. 🤴 Jesus is the anti nightmare pill. This is what I'm talking about. Enlightened members who can talk about "it" vs non enlightened members who can't. It seems to me the form identity is asuming some form of victory here, and i believe this is a big trap. Spiritual elitism, spiritual ego, etc. Comes down to this, are you the form identity, the member who had a special breakthrough, or are you consciousness, the thing you keep mentioning you have grasped yourself to be during your trips. How come you can't know yourself without taking a drug is my question here. Do you have to make identity around psychedelics to be enlightened and to have a deep conversation on the nature of reality?

Absolutely it doesn't make sense with all the typos! Maybe first master the language and then go about saying "you're God", more believable hehe

Forgive the personal attack, it was not necessary. Just got triggered a bit, because i feel you are not understanding me, and you talk about some darkness that is ultimate, without touching on who knows that darkness. Who or what is aware of that darkness, how is it known in the first place. Can you know it without light of awareness?

On a surface level, you read it, and you replied in an unconstructive way with no substance, just to get an ego win. I know these games all too well. Perhaps you need to stop worshipping darkness. Ying yang symbol shows absoĺute equality between light and dark. Im not here to have a war between light worship and darkness worship. Its really easy to spot where you're going wrong.

You literally had no time to read my comment, you immediately replied, only skimmed, no time to assimilate what is said, to contemplate. This is clear sign you are not here to discuss, not here for Truth, rather you are here to be right. Im not interested in an ego battle, im here to contemplate and invite constructive discussion.

Who knows that darkness that remains? Im talking about the ultimate invisible light of knowing, not light photons. Not talking about light vs dark. You are basically talking out of yo ass, pardon my french 😀 Ever heard of nonduality? You are talking about ying yang as if its 2 separate things, light vs darkness and saying darkness is stronger than light. Ying Yang is a marriage between darkness and light, its absolute love, and this makes it the light of awareness. The one that knows that darkness you speak of, is the light of awareness, you need the light of awareness to know ANYTHING, including that darkness that you appearantly perceive as ultimate.

Sounds like fantasy. What do you mean by darkness? I'm talking about light of awareness. Even in absolute darkness, you need to be aware to "see shit", this is light. I get a feeling you are trying to ego-battle the term light. There is nothing that opposes the light of awareness. You are creating a duality where there is none, or so it seems to me. Jesus did say "you are the light of the world". Story checks out

Will *we* travel at the speed of light? The we is very important. Brilliant scientist Brian Cox assumes our identity as something which has mass. But hey, the facts are, awareness/consciousness has no mass. So perhaps the simple answer is "yes, we have to travel at the speed of light, because we are massless Consciousness"

He played fischer random for less than a month. And ye computers alwaays play engine moves and if its lower rated it will still do engine moves and then blunder on purpose, as if to say "i can beat you but here you go". Thaats why i dont like playing vss computer, not natural gameplay
