It’s already both happened to me that I didn’t notice I couldn’t move a piece without exposing the king or that I won by accident. Had the game not announced this, I wouldn’t have known.
And perhaps the opponent might not notice my mistake either. Or it could just be a strategic high-risk scenario, rather than a mistake.
Chess has been extensively play tested and the balance is peak.
They still haven’t fixed the board flip glitch or the “look over there” exploit that allows you to rearrange the board if your opponent actually looks.
Not to mention that there’s nothing in the rules to prevent you from putting a mirror behind your opponent so you can see the location of their pieces
knights are OP and need to be nerfed tbh
If you think the knights are OP, wait till you find out about the knook!
It’s worth mentioning that white has a small but notable advantage.
