Chess with random, no thanks.

Quantum chess isn't a variant based on chess. It's a different game with chance and wrong implementations of quantum mechanics altogether. For that reason you should get their game if you want to play it.

Plus likely there are copyright, trademark, etc. challenges with producing an open-source clone of a commercial game. And besides, such competition could discourage Chris from innovating in the future... hopefully he has success with his idea.

Wouldn't playing a game of quantum chess mean that there is no longer any randomness, in the same way that the cat is observed once the box is opened? If we're being pedantic...

Somehow I read 'aquarium chess'... =/

#5 No, it means that observation (in the case of that game's rules, only during superposition) removes randomness.

You could make the same argument that blindfold chess where you aren't told the opponent's moves has no randomness, if we're being pedantic.

Every time an observation is made, quantum chess decides at random what the piece state is. It's chess with dices. Sure way to prevent any strategic dimension.

I don't think that involving chance in a game pf chess is a good idea. Besides, it will lead to many butthurts on the formus regarding unfairness.

I am a physics student , maybe a few of you can hear about the schrodinger's cat: it's the easy (and not that easy) way to explain if a cat inside a box is death or alive.

Nobody knows it because that box is close, so we must use the probability of say that it´s a probability the cat be alive, and a probability that the cat can be dead.

The same ocurrs with a particle, and, in this case, with the pieces.

So if you want to know about the crazyness of people who study phisics in quantum theory, well i think this method is one of the easy way.

And, sicerally speaking, i didn´t understand quantum mechanics at all, i suffered very much with that class hehe.
