aoe3 players should stream more chess

It's only fun watching aoe3 players stream chess. They should be rated 1500 min., and play 3-5 minute games. They can do it between games or while waiting, and take queues from the chat. Ideally this will eventually take over aoe3 entirely.

The problem is any game longer than 3 mins is boring to watch, but personally if I play a game that short it won't be any fun to watch, because I'll make so many stupid mistakes.

Maybe @Aizamk and @[Armag] diarouga can play a couple of games on stream. Maybe ESOC can host a one-day chess tourney @Mitoe, and stream it

I'm used to play 3+2. Shorter than this is just too short to have a decent game imo.

Chess isn't even a good game. Instead they should stream more Go

Seriously though, stream Go. People love to watch other people learn new things, plus Go is the best game so you can't go wrong.

It would be especially interesting to watch (good) Chess players learn Go :hmm:

We used to have chess integrated in the observer UI. Aizamk and Mitoe played it while playing smackdown.

No I'm a mere 2000+ player. Truth be told I play a solid 2250-2300 rating now but it's been 7 years that I am with my wife so as many years without competition... I'm play around (slightly worse than) fide master level.

As a side note Diarouga plays really well, even though I won, most games were far from clear.

Unfortunately, I'm much better in blitz than in standard games (that's because I played thousands of blitz games and barely 10 long games so I can't focus for 3-4 hours), which sucks when you want to play competitively.

How did you manage to reach such a level ?

10 years playing in club, competing in the French Nationals when I was younger and a lot of hard work :) Though, going into preparatory classes at 15 forced me to play less chess and realize that the dream of becoming international master would have to wait until the future kids are in age to play ;) Nowadays, a 2h30 commute each day gives me time to work a lot on tactics and strategy

Go may (emphasis "may") have more strategical depth than western chess but the tactical component of the game is reduced to its simplest expression. Western chess has a much better mix of tactic and strategy. Asian chess variants are much more focused on tactics which makes them very fun to play but lack in strategical depth.

Besides the gameplay, artistic composition is much more developed in chess than in any other game and we even have helpmate which is basically the sweetest craziest thing ever created out of a competitive game.

(and please don't start saying thing like "go has more complexity" that is so dumb).
