Otherchess

Welcome to Otherchess

The patent-pending new chess variant where human creativity still outshines AI

Why Otherchess is Revolutionary

🧠 Human vs AI Dominance

For the first time since 1997, humans can dominate AI in chess. Otherchess's branching factor explosion (150-400+ moves vs 35 in traditional chess) creates a 10-20 year window where human creativity outperforms brute-force calculation.

⚡ Computational Complexity

With 10,000+ board configurations and multi-player dynamics, AI struggles with the vast state space. Traditional chess AI can search 12-15 moves deep in 1 second; Otherchess limits them to 4-6 moves.

🎯 Strategic Depth

All your existing chess skills transfer directly - tactics, positional play, endgame technique. But the expanded possibility space rewards human pattern recognition and creative problem-solving over algorithmic approaches.

🏆 Competitive Future

Join the restoration of human intellectual supremacy in chess. Otherchess offers the same deep strategic thinking that made chess the "game of kings" while providing genuine competitive balance between humans and AI.
