How mope.io is related to chess (5 ways)

MOPE.IO Is related to chess in 5 ways, this is my first blog, HOPE YOU ENJOY!  (mope.io is this Beta game animal game related to slither.io, diep.io, agar.io etc) Also, special thanks to Alex Wang for helping me get interested in this game.

1) IT REQUIRES PERSONAL SKILLS AND ABILITIES

 Ever since Mope.io was released, I believe there was a lot of common comparisons between chess and Mope.io. One of the common things is that they have personal skills and abilities. This helps you not to rage when you die in mope.io because you don't know how to play.

   LIKE THIS> KID IS RAGING OVER MOPE.IO

Like, in mope.io, you need understanding to play, and to not rage when you die. I see a lot of kids rage over mope.io (see above). In chess, you can also sometimes rage, like when you have a winning position and lose or maybe a chance to survive but missed it. But you still are relived since you know what you are doing.

2) YOU TRY TO AIM FOR BIGGER GOALS

  IN chess, you aim for bigger goals, lets say you can make a knight fork on the rook and queen. But you then see a checkmate alive. Which would you choose? Probably the mate of course.

In this position, you obviously have a fork on e6, attacking both the rook and queen. But if you look at the opponent's king safety, you can see that there is mate in 1 with Qh7#. In mope.io you tend to aim for bigger goals and eat bigger players. Lets SAY YOU ARE TIER 14, an elephant, then you would try to eat tier 13 like boa constrictor people since they would give you the best XP. But if you are the boa, then you would try to eat tier 12 people like cobra or rhino since that would give YOU the best XP It would then not be smart to try to eat tier 6 people like a hedgehog since it would give very less XP. But on the other hand, you can't eat animals a higher tier than you like tier 15, or tier 16 which can be dragon, but still you try to eat what you can. Similar to chess.

3) YOU TRY TO DO YOUR BEST TO LIVE/SURVIVE

In chess, you do your best to try to survive in a losing position, this is why beginners should never resign, because your opponents are beginners too and they might just make a blunder! Take a look at this position. Black made the bad move Rf5, move Rf5.

Notice that the rook on b3 helps defend the knight on f3.

In mope.io, there is always a animal bigger than you and can eat you. Unless your Black Dragon (AKA BD). So, you must survive and find ways. In a game of mope.io, there is always some animal who sees you and know he is bigger, so he will have the desire to eat you. If you run, he will then chase you. You then must find ways to survive, because some animals are very fast. But that animal lets say is fast in mud, but slow in water, then a smart idea is to go in the water. Here are some ways to survive

1) Try to distract the animal, you can go near an animal that is bigger than you but is smaller than the person chasing YOU, then he will desire to go for the other animal.

2) Use your ability(will mention that later) to slow the animal down,

3) go to a surface where the animal chasing you if the slowest (say cobra is slow in water so if your a animal smaller then the cobra and is being chased by it, go in the water)

4) hide in hiding holes.

5) go to surface where the chasing animal can't reach you. (lets say your a animal that can go on hills, and the chasing animal can't, then go on hills to avoid the animal.)

6) try to wait it out in a hole. (hard to do since you are going to lose water and the animal that is chasing you is really not going to lose interest unless a animal passes by and the animal finds it better to eat, so he will chase the other animal instead.)

Of  course, there are many more but these are the more useful ones.

4) YOU ALL HAVE ABILITIES AND MOVES

This is by far the most fun to talk about (i didn't finish it yet)
