It's not full chess without castling, promotion, and en passant capture.
- ptaipale 12y agoTrue, castling is essential, but for a decent chess playing experience, promotion to anything except a queen is not really necessary, and en passant is too obscure to be relevant.
- muyuu 12y agoUnderpromotion happens in tournament chess, and en passant is fundamental. Without it it's a different game as pawn blockades work differently.
