About Chess for Idiots
Chess for Idiots is a satirical game that parodies chess and draws on a childhood coin game. It has a chess mode in which you use the same board and pieces as regular chess, but there are practically no rules: you can make any move with any piece and capture any number of your opponent’s pieces. Victory depends on IQ—with a lower IQ giving you a better chance—and on Ozjasz Goldberg’s decision.
Weapons
The game includes weapons and items such as Blowing, Arrow, Invisible hand of market, Brushwood+, Wozdoopy Grenade, Inflation and Hot Sauce, among others.
Coin game
The coin mode recreates a game played by taking turns blowing your own coin to land on your opponent’s coin. The game is also a Polish political satire, inspired by a political meme.
