Ah, the allure of chess as a game of kings - dignified, serious, and respectful, you say. Yet, let's muse for a moment on the nature of kingship itself. Most honest kings, if they could share a pint with us at the local tavern, might lean in and confide that, despite their lofty crowns and heavy robes, they too are but men. Men who, in the solitude of their chambers, succumb to the same temptations and simple pleasures as any other. The rush of a quick decision, the thrill of an unexpected move, the chaotic dance of life that mirrors the very essence of humanity. This rapid version of chess? It's but another facet of that same coin. To dismiss it as 'chaotic GARBAGE' is to overlook the beauty of human complexity, the very thing that kings and commoners alike navigate daily. Just as a monarch must make swift decisions in the throes of governance, so too does this variation of chess demand quick wit and adaptability. It's not a departure from the dignity of chess, but an ode to the multifaceted nature of all who play it - kings and commoners alike.
