Comment on Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess.

Anyone can learn how to play Chess. Anyone can learn how to play Mario Kart.
You slap a controller in someone’s hand tell them “A” is go and they can play Mario Kart. Sure they have to learn the track, where to collect power ups, where the shortcuts are, and eventually they have to learn about and master drifting.
But being a genius in Mario Kart doesn’t make you a genius. No heist movie ever said, “And this genius over here? They scored first place in 200cc Special Cup.”

I want a version of chess where if you’re down enough material, you have the opportunity to take out half your opponent’s pieces

I think anarchy chess allows for such rulings.
