Chess Master Stan!

This was a rather humorous game, and I do enjoy chess as well. While this is something that I found to be quite amusing, this isn't a storygame without it's flaws.

For one, this storygame is quite linear. Almost all of the choices seems to lead to the same outcome, so it didn't feel like that I as a reader was truly effecting the story in anyway. There's the illusion of choice, but I really wouldn't call what was offered in this storygame "real" choices. But still, even through its linearity this was still a funny story that I found to be endearing in its own way.

Grammar and structure, there were some sentences that seemed to run on and could've benefited from the use of a comma. Also, I encountered some pages that really looked unflattering because they were basically walls of text, and that's never really a thrill to read. Typos were also something of a redundant problem with this game and I couldn't help but feel that either a lack of care or foresight is what hurts this game in the technical sense.

While this is a humorous game that's filled with it's own charm, this is a game that doesn't offer much in terms of branching or meaningful choices for the reader. So this is more story than game, however this isn't something that I found to be a terrible experience.

I enjoyed the humour in how seriously Alexis takes chess, and commend you for writing such an original storygame!

There were a few grammatical errors, like starting a sentence with a lower-case letter, capitalising nouns that aren't proper nouns, and just capitalising random words.

This storygame was linear, and for a good portion of it you are faced with the same choices, which are essentially 1. don't play Alexis (all of these links lead to the same page) and 2. proceed.

Nonetheless this was a fun read, even if it is a little unpolished.

Very linear, but amusing. I enjoyed picking the obviously wrong choice to see what response I would get, and the fact that I didn't have to restart or go back and just pick a link. However, it wasn't really a game, but a one way street, so I rated it 4/8.

Hah. Short amusing game from the Founders.

Bad

How many stories did the founders secretly author on here? This was an amusing though linear story.

I think it was pretty good! It was funny and dramatic. Though, there are a few grammar mistakes, but over all pretty awesome!

More of a fast-track train journey than a game, Chess Master Stan still carries a charm of sorts. Although the writing has generally poor syntax (elaborated upon by other commenters), it drags the reader into warfare and keeps them in their seat for the few minutes it takes to complete the game.

The game couples its linearity with too many choices. Although obviously and not-so-obviously wrong choices are meant to lead into jokes, the fact you have to confirm your want to actually begin the game so many times coupled with the fact that the "actually, I don't want to play the game I clicked on!" options set up the joke over and over again begins to get annoying. After a certain point, you just want to play chess.

Although I'm not very good at chess, I would have enjoyed more chess minutiae. This is an epic chess battle, after all, but it feels like chess here could be replaced with any traditional game, from backgammon to strip poker.

The main antagonist was a character of sorts, though everyone else was flat. Though I'm partial to joke games, I think that they need flavour to carry their punch.

Absolutely adored the humor in this! My only complaint is that it just felt a bit linear at points.

Good work.
