My style of chess play is directly proportional to my current emotional state at the time. So I don’t really study chess moves of the great players as yet. Playing chess is more an exercise in the immediate use of the mind for me, than a must win learn all Gary's chess strategies undertaking.
However when I play the super analytical win at all cost. who have minutely studied all the great chess players. I find the carbon copy 5 penned moves to checkmate can be rather uninspiring. Also very humiliating because one gets completely smoked in 5 moves by an 8 year old chess prodigy.
This feeling of humiliation is nothing new im told. So I thought by creating a 3 dimensional element to the chess board - it might just give an advantage to those of us who visualize 3 dimensional space better. 8 year olds have much difficulty working in a space time 3D dimension. Its something to do with being 8 years old im told.
A further idea to the wildetects proposal in the chess game would be to change the exact line up of pieces when setting up the chess board in the very beginning. By giving each player the opportunity to set up their pieces where ever they want to behind their line. This will further confuse the 5 moves to checkmate brigade - and actually, possibly encourage a game of chess within the space and time of the exact moment. No Kasparov formula disciples to check mate you in a 5 book move.
Also to set up ones pieces one would put a screen between each player, in the middle of the board and then when you have finished setting up, remove the screen and your suddenly presented within the heat of a dynamic chess battle from the get go. It becomes more about instant guerilla warfare survival thinking than battling Kasparovs computer chess studied moves ghost.
These chess change ideas will resonate at some point in the future. Im not really worried that my handprint will be faded and watermarked by the time they do.
Wildetecture design has always simply been about challenging established thought process in design ideas.
