> to get something rare

It's only rare cos they programmed the drop rate. Might as well sit rolling a dice and trying to guess the numbers.

Makes you wonder why they never added any rng into chess, ya know, to keep the player base "engaged"

arguably this is why Chess960 was created

Dang, didn't realise that had been done. i did mean like you start with pawns and have to acquire the better pieces like rooks and bishops etc, or you can buy chess credits and spend them on two queens at once or sommething
Then that's just a video game might as well as play a video game why limit yourself to still confined to the rules of chess.
And that video game is called Gambonanza [1]
