I thought of Checkers, because it uses the same board as Chess

In a way, chess is really a unique game.

Maybe one would be "Abalone."

Stratego? But not really.

I'm gonna find the opposite of chess.

First, let's define what makes chess unique among games:

Chess has a clearly defined, small playing space of 64 squares.

Chess is turn-based.

A game of chess is played between two people, and they are competing against each other.

Chess is a "perfect game" where all information is readily available and nothing is left to chance, barring errors of human thought.

Chess is deceptively complex and deep.

Chess has a clear, objective winning condition.

But it's also really bland to the eyes.

...So what we need is something not turn-based, likely in real time, has an undefined and expansive playing space, is played either by oneself or with multiple people, is pleasing to the eyes, is surprisingly simple, completely random and unknown in nature, and has absolutely zero purpose, winning condition or goal whatsoever.

The opposite of chess is... No Man's Sky!

Hey guys! If any of you are into Math, there's this new video about what 0 divided by 0 actually equals, and it debunks a big misconception. It's actually a great explanation of 0/0, and I can't believe I didn't realize that almost every other explanation I found online was actually wrong. You guys should definitely check it out, and post what you guys think about it here on the notes. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK_R4eOLPq0&t=5s
