Crazyhouse is not a recognized variant of the month?
i don't know how that could be, it shouldn't even have to be voted on,
not a hour goes by on the planet where a crazyhouse game is not being
played, and that is a conservative estimate.
you should make crazyhouse a recognized variant along with whatever other
game you recognize in a future month

ok i updated this game, and i think it is now better. i changed the
pawns/generals starting position, same amount though :) but it has allowed
me to add an extra 'flying comet' so i think the extra firepower is
pretty good.
it also makes it harder for the 'flying star' to exchange themselves
off.
i have also added another variant, with a 'flying horse' .. moves as a
4-1 leaper alfil and king, she is a pretty bouncey little filly :) ..
could too a bit too dangerous for this game, (mate threats galore) but i
tried it once (lol) and it played good, it could be the best variant, so i
have added it as for testing yep :)
after you guys made your comments, i felt encouraged to go back and look
at the game, so i want to say 'thanks' ok :)
oh, if any editor reads this, can you add this game to the 'whats new'
section as being 'updated' thanks!

hey, i thought it looked good too lol, the graphics :)
oh well ...

despite the cannon thing, this game is brilliant!!!
so much fun he he, i love it, looks good too.

yes i used to go out with the good doctor, a fantastic person, wouldn't
shut up about flyingchess though .. lol, just kidding :)
yeah, interesting game, is it an original idea?
i don't know much about those 'multi-board' games, i don't know if a
piece on say level 2 influences things on level 1 and level 2 at same
time, so i find hard to rate, but i wouldn't rate it anything less than
good that is for sure. i'll wait for more info till i rate, wish it was
on a bigger board though, than the one that marek has put out.
of course, Fergus is totally right about the 'sus' early comments about
the good doctor, if these people knew the doc, surely the doc would of
commented here, or didn't you tell him we were talking about his game :)
anyway, i do like the idea and game.

thanks for your comments guys :)
yes there are a lot of generals, it is true. when i finally got this game
playable, that is where i stopped, cause i was fried of it, so i am
guessing there is great room for improvement. i do see this game still in
the 'beta' stage. all advice is really appreciated.
those generals are not just there though, for defence. they are there to
actually cramp up their own army, to stop the flying pieces getting into
attacking positions straight away, and also, to cramp their own king, so
as to make it dangerous for their own king lol :)

i guess the idea of lots of generals, is to make it a real 'attack from
afar' game, not one where they 'scoot around the board' (the flying pieces)

interesting idea though about the 'only 6 generals', but the generals on
the 3rd rank i feel may be needed, it can quickly run to the center, and
therefore hamper the enemy flyingstar and flyingcomet from attacking
quickly. when those pieces come out fast, in combo with flyingmoon, they
can quickly mate.
the 4th rank pawn stops the flyingcomet from straight away coming out.
i know the generals on a2 j2 are just not required, but i also think of
how zillions plays, and zillions, being sometimes crazy, will move the
flyingsun from a1 to j2, unless it thinks for a minute at least sometimes,
and that is just a dumb move.
not mirroring yes interesting, you would have to change the kings also,
otherwise the flyingmoon could check straight away when it can move to 2nd
rank. i did briefly look at it, it could be a good idea, but it does
present some unexpected probs maybe, i am still somewhat fried with it
lol, so i didn't look for too long at the moment.
anyway, if you can present your best idea, in a saved game maybe and send
to me, or if anyone likes, that would be great, i am all up for the idea
of a future update, presenting different ideas to see what is best.

wow this looks great, lol, and alot like gridlock!!

you guys have made this site better than professionals ever could, because
you do it out of love for chess, not love for money.
surely this is the best chess/chessvariants site in the world.

i havn't played the game yet, so i won't rate, but i just wanted to say
that the graphics for this game are beautiful :)
