Chess is Rascist

Learning algebra through chess

"By saying that white automatically is offensive, it states that white is better than black," Ware said.

His idea is to remove color superiority in chess by focusing the game on variables. He calls his new way of chess "Algebra Chess" paralleling it to The Algebra Project by Robert Moses.

In Algebra Chess, Bill Ware plans on removing color superiority by allowing the pieces to either be the same or different colors such as red, blue, green, etc. The determining factor on who moves first depends on what square the queen sits on.

Chess is played on a grid and each square has a variable of A-H, and a number of 1-8.

According to Ware, whichever queen sits on the square D-1, that is the team that moves first. This way, nether color has priority or an inherent right to move first.

First of all, there's no rascism in chess - you have to be rascist to see and be so concerned with seeing rascism in every little little thing that has the colors black and white in it. I suppose pianos are rascist, too? Do you see the rascism in the way newspapers are printed?

Second, why all the complexity to see who goes first? Who determines, and how, who sits in front of the D-1 square? Anyway, you can solve the whole thing by flipping a coin to determine who goes first - it's no big deal.


Third, if it is supposed to be a way to teach algebra, fine, just do that and leave the rascist teaching out of it.
