Not sure if this is going to work, but let’s give it a try. Let’s play collective chess. The rules are simple – copy the chessboard below into the comment field, and update it with your move:
♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
♙ ♙ ♙ ♙ ♙ ♙ ♙ ♙
∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟
∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟
∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟
∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟ ∟
♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟
♜ ♞ ♝ ♚ ♛ ♝ ♞ ♜
There is no rule checking, so be honest. Here is how I envision the game to go:
- First commenter should post a move with the black pieces
- Second commenter should post a move with white pieces
- Alternate until check-mate
- Once you posted a move with black, you must wait for someone to post another with white and vice versa
- You can switch sides at any time as long as it doesn’t violate rule #4
- If two moves for the same side are posted concurrently, the two authors should discuss the moves agree which should be the “official” one.
This might either be fun, a complete un-playable mess, of a failure. But I guess we will never know until we try. Please let me know if the font’s don’t look correctly in some browsers. As far as I know these are legal Unicode characters, so they should display in any browser that supports Unicode.
Disclaimer: I totally suck at chess.
If you don’t see the chess pieces, here is what you do. Open your MS Office setup, and choose to change your installation. Click whatever check box they have to allow you to install custom features. Now from the list of components choose:
Office Shared Features -> International Support -> Universal Font
Choose “Run from my computer”.
Alternatively download Arial Unicode MS font and drop it into your Fonts folder. You might need to restart Firefox to see the effect.

Now you go!
This board is quite hard to figure out… But let’s try.

[...] Hey this looks like fun, let’s play chess. This idea is completely copied from terminally-incoherent.com. But it’s a great idea, and I want to play this with anyone out there willing to play with me. The rules are simple, all you have to do it cut and paste this board into a comment with your move: [...]

Btw, don’t put the chessboard in a <pre> tag – for some reason it messes up the formating. It actually works when you paste it in normally.

@Jake – Hmm… It’s possible that on Linux the font looks a bit different. It looks fine now that I removed the pre tag.
Oh noes! You took the pawn!
Btw, I think I fucked up the board.. Black queen should be on the left no? Queens and Kings face each other right? So I swapped them.

Jake – I’m sitting at Ubuntu right now, and the chessboard looks just fine. Maybe you need to install the MS Fonts package? What distro do you use?
On ubuntu it’s the msttcorefonts package in Universe.

@Luke: I have the MS Fonts installed, but not as my default fonts anywhere. The font I am using makes everything look slightly out of alignment. For instance, the ∟’s are slightly off from the ♟’s. It doesn’t really matter too much though. The pre didn’t help for me either, I just thought I’d give it a go.

I thought it would be less confusing if we would also state our move below the board. This way we can avoid the painful mental diff between the last two chessboards to determine what exactly changed. This is only going to get more confusing as the board gets more chaotic.
Just in case you are not familiar with how the chessboard is marked, the bottom right corner is a1, and the top left corner is h8 – as per algebraic chess notation. So the black king is at e1.
Just a side note – I’m amazed that the adsense blocks on this page don’t show even one chess related ad. WTF Google? Context sensitive my ass!
Do you guys see any chess related crap in the ad blocks?
I ain’t into chess but your fonts look GREAT to me, using ubuntu and I have the msttcorefonts. And I do think ya started some kind net virus there Luke with this. lmao
[quote comment="5062"]Do you guys see any chess related crap in the ad blocks?[/quote]
They have zoomed in on it now for me, haha. Fun Online Chess Training
Oh my! Viral chess! LOL Who else is doing it?
Its spread to one of your commenters above but that’s a start if one of his (?) readers takes it up who knows? or another reader of yours who doesn’t comment. Viral phenomena on the net kinda interest me the way it spreads and actually what spreads. Some memes spread to the point of stupidity nothing new about that I suppose but the Internet seems to magnify it.
Yeah I saw that one. I wonder if it spreads more.
Bump! Anyone still interested in playing?
I made the last move so I can’t do another one. Come on guys, let’s do it!

pawn from A7 to A5.
formatting got messed up, but I had the letters on top aligned up nicely so that it might be easier for people…also, the white pieces should have been on the bottom…but all in all I like this idea, too bad most people don’t really play chess.
Sigh… The joys of variable width fonts. They never line up when you need them.
Oh, and HTML ignores all whitespace beyond a single space.
Oh, and I guess the whites should be on the bottom. Oh well, how about this:
