Re: the divine sport of CHESS

I never really played chess growing up, but I like to think FFT and X-COM developed my 'moving guys around on tiles' cortex at an early age.
My forays into shogi have been fun. It's definitely a slower game without a piece as powerful as the queen, but the respawn and promotion mechanics are cool. I ...
