Don't you hate it when Simp arrives at the part you love the most, and then he just fast forward it, to make it as short as possible? Of course, I'm talking about the disclaimer.

This is the main principal of the Japanese version of chess called "Shogi". It changes the game a lot because you have to be a lot more intricate in constructing defensive "fortresses" while you can also be super aggressive by dropping pieces behind your opponents.

@@purewaterruler It's 3 in both cases. Click-drag-release versus click-move-click. But how you frame it doesn't matter, what matters is usability. Drag-and-drop is just a less precise interaction than clicking with a mouse. I think it would be fine to give players the option to use it if that's what they want, but if it's required, then that's just bad interface design.

@purewaterruler

@SharurFoF I agree with you that the option should be given to the player But it's literally objectively more movement(and more segmented movement) to do a click drag click. I framed it at 1 vs 3 because that's most similar to the way the brain would normally segment it when actually doing the action. The advantage is that it's more precise and you're less likely to make mistakes with clicking on both, as you said. But the reason a lot of players don't do that is just because it adds a little more friction to thinking(plus it's a bit slower in speed chess)

When he blundered his rook, you could have trapped his queen with your dark squared bishop. Granted, rook for queen is slightly worse than rook for nothing, but the knight would have ended up in the corner, the queen was very active, and you would have gained a queen to play elsewhere.
