@TheStalwart Math people love to be like “this is how you visualize a cube in 4 dimensions” and then show you some bullshit that confuses you even more
Timur found normal chess too easy and boring, so he invented his own version: Tamerlane Chess 🇺🇿♟️
Tmerlane Chess played on a massive 10×11 board with two extra citadel squares. Each player commanded an army of 28 pieces, including units like camels, giraffes, elephants, war engines, and princes, all with their own unique movements.
The game also had multiple kings, complex promotion systems, and special rules where even pawns could transform into entirely new powerful pieces after advancing far enough.
For a man who conquered half of Asia with his brilliant strategic mind, classic chess simply wasn’t hard enough. He turned chess into a far more complex battlefield of strategy.
Thought I remembered this guy! Back in September 2024 he falsified a bunch of benchmarks about his open source model, which was really just llama 3 70b or possibly a Claude wrapper. Great stuff
