Kings in chess CAN be utilized against each other, if indirectly. Kings cannot come within a 1 tile radius of each other, thus allowing you to effectively trap a king against an edge and use a rook/queen to checkmate him.

I think he ment with just the king, nothing else

Quite possibly. However, I simply meant that a king can be utilized indirectly. I wasn't saying it was a good idea to use him, but the king isn't completely useless.

That's true 👍

If you do it right...

Well, chess is all about maneuvering your pieces to trap your enemy's king. It is, in part, the point of the game.

I knew that.
But sometimes you could mess up or the opponent could escape before it's too late for them…

In that case, it's just bad strategy. My point was that it was possible, not that it was impossible to fail. And besides, you only want to use your king in such a way if you are left with little alternative, as sending your king into the field is very risky.

Yeah, it is pretty risky.

SO TRUE

True

King is most useless piece in chess, change my mind.

dude if you lose your king you lose

stopid

Uh... I've played chess. The king is the most useless piece BECAUSE if you lose it you lose the game. The enforced value of the king means it's not good for anything. Even pawns are more useful than the kind, bc they can be sacrificed. The kings weak movement capabilities and enforced value over inherent strategic value means, in my humble opinion, that it is the most useless piece in the game. And that's ok. I'm not complaining about chess' design, rather just making an observation.

Refusal of reading is forfeiting any comprehensive comeback, so... I guess I've won in that case.

Not that I needed a good comeback to win, they misspelled "stupid"

holy yapper of yappington

Hey, I mean, it worked. They haven't tried to come back from that.

If you don't like how the game is played why don't you go back 1,500 years ago and change it?

Hey, look, I'm a game designer myself, and I definitely don't think Chess should change. I'm simply making an observation, not stating that I don't like how the game is played.

I would make a comeback if you did not make a great point lol

Howdy y'all! thanks for making this meme popular! It's fun while it lasted.
