Of course chess kind of has cheevo's, in the form of titles (GM, IM etc). Unfortunately these are out of reach for most players. The rating system is also a reward system, but the fact that you can earn negative achievements (by losing rating points), is a bit of a bummer. So what we need is a good list of cheevo's that add something to the chess playing experience. Here are some examples (and feel free to add your own in the comments section)
- Dacked (Checkmating your opponent while still having all your pieces on the board)
- Pillow to the face (Smothered mate with a knight)
- I am Bobby (Winning a tournament with 11/11)
- The Flash (Checkmating in less than 10 moves)
- Bigamy (Having two queens on the board at the same time)
- Taking one for the team (sacrificing your last piece to force stalemate)
- They shoot horses, don't they (Claiming a draw under the 50 move rule)
