"Chess is a game of imperfect information, but with a very specific kind of imperfectness: fully available information. More specifically, ever single information is visible: you see all your opponents' pieces and he sees all yours, you see how much time he's got left, and he sees how much time you have left".
Who knew it? Chess is actually a concurrent game of imperfect information: with that definition, it's not unlike a real-time strategy game like Warcraft 3.
Who would have guessed it?
- somat 4mo agoI sometimes dream of actual concurrent wego chess. It ends up a bit involved without a computer, each side has to commit to a move in secret(write it down on a pad) then comes the tricky part, a solid set of rules for situations that don't resolve cleanly under normal chess. stuff like collisions(do we bounce, halt, mutual annihilation?), pass throughs, escapes. I don't play much chess but it sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
- gryn 4mo agohuh ? where did you see the second quote, I can't find it the post. Was it there before ? the game is very much a game of perfect information.
