Chess on the Rope. 1d chess experimental variant with standard rules and variations. (1x21, Cells: 21) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Anybody, can you pay some attention for another linear travelling acrobates?…
In other words, what do you think about it? Is it something new for you?
Alfaerie SVG Piece Graphics. The Alfaerie set of piece graphics in scalable SVG format.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@gbtami if you want to do, I can create Makruk Alphaerie with drawing Ferz and Khon but taking proPawn from here’s Ferz.
Returning to our discussion;))))))) I’ve understood that:
- Archbishop costs 8 because it also covers neighboring squares (earlier I thought of it as of BFX discarding the nearness of covered squares); in my opinion it's because B part is long ranging (discarding N's moving's shortness) and N part is color-switching (discarding B's colorboundness) and jumping; so it is maneuverable. So Bishop's part there is 4, however Knight's one is also 4!
- Imbalance of A+p > Q probably exists because Pawn is cooperative and "every pawn is potential Queen"(c)
- Ultrabishop (BW) and Hyperrook (RF) are 7 and 8 relatively, because they BTW include the Doubler (K) moves (I thought of them like about BH or RA/RG discarding the nearness of covered squares).
- Nightrider and Rook really have similar mobility on 8x8, but Nightrider is more maneuverable and Rook is more reliable.
- Both Zip and Magician from Horizons have the cost of 9 on large (but not big) and free boards, but on 8x8 they really are 7 (M) and 8 (Z) because of their maneuverability and defense from the King (compare with Queen).
- Bishop pair costs between 6,5 and 7 (when board is more free, Bishops' pair is more valuable).
- Silver isn't as stabile in cost as I've thought before (in Orda Chess, it's Yurt which is decided to cost 2, but I disagree – maybe from 2,6 to 3,2).
What do you think about?
I have tried to do a Game Courier for my fast idea (shooting chess with non-obligatory captures and short-moving pieces), but it seems like GC doesn’t want me to take with Knights, Kings and Pawns. What is wrong? ~,~
Dunsany's Chess. 32 pawns play against a full set of pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Lichess (my favorite site which offers adless free chess and some variants) has a more established version of Horde. White has 36 pawns (full 1-4 rows and b, c, f & g files on 5th row) and all pawns can move 2 squares from either 1st or 2nd rank. Stalemate (existence of pieces but no legal moves of side) is a draw. I can simply add this page to Lichess tag.
ChessBreakTimes Chess. Chess with elements of chess-based RPG I slowly elaborate at this time. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I wanted to do ID but sth went wrong;) simply I never did it alone.
I've made a Game Courier preset, but in first time it made to move King as Silver, Silver was immobile, castling was disabled; but in second time, there is an error on line I haven't any access to.
Thx very much for your attention, so catch:
files=8 ranks=8 promoZone=1 promoChoice=MRNS graphicsDir=/graphics.dir/alfaeriePNG/ squareSize=50 graphicsType=png pawn:P:ifmnDfmWfceF:pawn:a2,d2,e2,h2,,a7,d7,e7,h7 warrior:W:fmFifmnAfceWfcnD:berolinapawn:b2,c2,f2,g2,,b7,c7,f7,g7 knight:N:N:knight:b1,g1,,b8,g8 rook:R:R:rook:a1,h1,,a8,h8 magician:M:afyafyafsK:mage:d1,,d8 silver:S:FfW:silvergeneral:c1,f1,,c8,f8 king:K:KisO2:king:e1,,e8
I don't know the reason comptuer makes Silver more valuable than all (exc. for King), when Silver must be a little cheaper than Knight. I tried to fix it manually and bring the Silver on his (normal) place, but it was started a flood of errors in GC preset. Before it worked, King was royal, but he moved as Silver (and castling was illegal), when Silvers were fully immobile. Very strange)))
UPD: this GAME code was edited a lot by me.
I’ve also invented a Jackal but named it Tiger (Ť)

BTW, rather than generating the GAME code again through the fixed Play-Test Applet, you could just edit the GAME-code you already had, replacing the 'true' in the legdefs array definition by 1 everywhere.

Berolina Chess. Different moving pawns. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]BTWAFAIK all Game Courier presets for this variant are bugged (b & h pawns cannot make double step, a pawn is immobile). I’ve created GC preset without this flaw.
Can I get access to these graphics for editing and adding chessmen?

Thx, but my Magician is much more than simply magical piece. Piece you’ve done definitely not suit to it, but as Sorcerer/Wizard/Thaumaturge it’s beautiful.
Chigorin Chess. White has knights instead of bishops and a chancellor for his queen; black has bishops instead of knights. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Why Ralph Betza is mentioned as inventor while he’s just author?
Griffon. Historic piece that steps one space diagonally then slides like a Rook.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This piece has the power of Queen. And I’ve found a checkmating tactic for the piece which controls the spaces around the files/ranks such as Aanca, Magician and one my piece I currently omit. This tactic appears in K vs K + piece endgames and is called wind tunnel (aerodynamic tunnel). Piece confines the King in a file/rank between its covered lines, and then your King drives it to the last rank, but to avoid stalemate, you should then cut off the previous-to-last line to avoid escaping of opponent’s King. But it’s better to firstly drive them as far as you can from board center and then confine into tunnel. For Aanca it’s possible on normal board, but less possible for Magician, though you shouldn’t forget that both these pieces are from games with 12x12 board.
Can you make a Torch or Astra as 101st piece? (100th is maybe already planned).
Or one piece I've currently doing (if I will drive this to the pretty-ready stage begore your 101st).

BTW how to delete GC presets?
Thanks a lot for publishing this game!
But if you want to delete a preset, I can do that after making sure it is not being used in any game logs.
Delete these ones please: https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Chess&settings=joyfulchess https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Chess&settings=Ttt https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Chess&settings=rojo
I’ve uploaded to this directory (/membergraphics/who/CryInto) plenty of nearby 30px wide images of my joyful pieces. They’re very small and can be used on custom grid in Game Courier, or as small pics on pages (instead of big ones from nursery room;)). This set is called joyful-small (note for editors) and includes pieces for Crazy 38’s (and consequently Chess) and Rocket Chess.

I forgot to post yesterday's Piece of the Day, so...
132. Virtuoso. I initially proposed Virtuoso as an alternate name for an Amazonrider, but then I realized that the Virtuoso needed to be something truly broad. So, it's more than just a Queen plus Nightrider; it's basically a Queen plus Buffalorider. (QNNCCZZ)
150. Virtuoso. Initially I started using this name as an alternate for the Amazonrider. Then I settled on Centauride, and found a need to expand the name, so I compounded not just the Queen and Nightrider but also the Camelrider and Zebrarider. (QNNCCZZ)

Flipping Xiangqi. Hybrid of Xiangqi & Kyoto Shogi – flip the pieces after each turn. (7x7, Cells: 49) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a suggestion for you now (and many of them later))). This is Astra (aka Astral leaper or Altleaper). It's already used in unknown (and really written in 20 minutes when each of them could be the last) GC preset of my own CwDA, and in one of my most favourite (non-square) inventions - Rocket Chess!
However, its shining debut is still not happened...
...and it's probably the most or one of the most successful example of amphiby synergy...

I’ve decided (long time ago, but written it just now) to add the pawns. Probably I will calibrate the rules (now pawn takes in en-passant style, but king still can’t take at all)
Another decisions {if these will go down} are 1. to make pawn capture diagonally by moving straight forward (as knight, capture is optional and can take up to 2 foes including cornered ones – now this version is omitted because pawns can start taking from 2nd move which’s not in my plans) and 2. let king capture in the same way as pawn does (also up to 2, also can take cornered; and it’s also omitted because otherwise it changes the character of the game even much more cardinally than the pawn tweak)
