How do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead
♔♚ ♕♛ ♖♜ ♗♝ ♘♞ ♙♟︎
Was thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.
Definitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.
Yeah, it definitely needs to be color coded.
The other thing that would bother me is that if you're playing black, you have to play upside down. I wonder if there would be a way to "flip the board".
Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board
Brilliant
That sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!
I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn't involve VBA.
They WOULD be a nightmare though.
Lol. Fair enough. I'm not sure which would be worse.
In the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.
Did you find out?
Otherwise I may
I think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side
And they definitely need to make the spaces squares.
CAPS vs lowercase
Is there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you're only color blind.
