FAD piece. A piece which has the has the combined movements of the Ferz, Alfil and the Dabbabah.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I suggest the alternative name Laureate, which’s a champion in sciences.
Lion (2). Moves on queen-lines but must jump exactly one piece. Appears in fairy chess problems.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It’s worth to mention that this piece is called Quetzal in maya-style game Chak
Just off topic idea: what if Shogi Pawn will have a value of 1?

Home page of The Chess Variant Pages. Homepage of The Chess Variant Pages.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]- What is with fonts? Almost all fonts are now Georgia. Exception is Game Courier logs page which keeps previous fonts.
- For me dark theme doesn’t work.
- Markers for Private and Members-Only are disabled. There’s no way to distinguish published pages and WIPs with unpubs.

- All favorites are replaced now.
Next step is pages’ transposition.
Attention: if you see many favorites, it’s I transposing them to Reche.
I'm in favor of consolidating your account under your real name and deleting Rechefiltr is Fire.
One reserve boat is better than none.
OK, linking email is better, if it worked.
(Only thing I’ve thought is that I wanted to rename Rechefiltr to Lev and Lev to something another.)
Sorry for many Sisyphean tasks, but I’ve decided to migrate to new acc. You should rewrite all inventor and author of my pages (except for GC) from Lev to Rechefiltr is Fire and then mark the latter as contributor. The main reasons:
- Better ID;
- My own email address linked.

Bruh can you just add No-Castling as a version of Chess on its existing page?
You plan to do a weekend pair? Catch a pair which I made some time ago but did not know how to realize it.
Bumper (BmpR) aka Trick Biker and Repmub (RpmB) aka Stunt Master. Correlate with my Modern Republican Chess’ pieces, but themselves aren’t.

Colorbound Chess. Pieces never change their squares’ color, so army is divided into two halves – attacking and defending. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Just a thought, but it would probably work better to either:
Have all pieces on the same color Have two Kings, one for each color, and only require one of them to be checkmated to win. This is since only half the army can reach the enemy King in the current version, and would be quite drawish if that half got depleted.
The page works quite well in presentation though.
Added second thought as a variation.
https://playstrategy.org/variant/noCastling
PlayStrategy supports it as a separate variant.

Just to illustrate an Alfil is a Bishop in Spanish, a Cavalier a Knight in French. The Queen in Russian is a Boat and the Bishop is an Elephant. The Bishop is a Fool in French.
Incorrect, Queen is Ferz while Rook is a Boat. Хрен редьки не слаще, to be said)
The problem of names of the piece, which is already an issue in English, may become a problem with other languages. <…> Of course, things are getting even weirder with other names of characters and animals. If I had to translate Bigorra with its more than 30 different pieces, I may come to some difficulties.
I’m creative, so I’ll find the right way)
Horizons. Game with 5 new pieces on 12x12 board. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I don't know what file format Joyful is, but whatever the case they need to all be the same.
No, it’s PNG, while Galactic is GIF and this all works fine.
> https://www.chessvariants.com/cgi-bin/fen2.php?s=50&t=Greenwade&w=DDDDDD&b=339933&p=
But how to make images other than white King? Ah I understood, and I can just copy these from Fen2.php page from pieces’ table.
Personally, I use H.G.'s fen2 tool, by including these lines in the ID code:
graphicsDir=/cgi-bin/fen2.php?s=50&t=Greenwade&w=F9F9F9&b=666666&p=
squareSize=50
graphicsType=Replace the
w=andb=numbers with the hex codes for the numbers you want. If you want icons smaller than 50 pixels, change boths=and the squareSize variable to the same number.
I use buttons which have:
input type="button" value="Greenwade" onclick="graphDir='/graphics.dir/svg/Greenwade/';whitePrefix='w';blackPrefix='b';light='#DDDDDD';dark='#339933';sqrSize='50';imag[1]='pawn.svg';imag[2]='berolinaplus.svg';imag[3]='shield.svg';imag[4]='berolina.svg';imag[5]='knight.svg';imag[6]='bishop.svg';imag[7]='rook.svg';imag[8]='ox.svg';imag[9]='lightning.svg';imag[10]='wizard.svg';imag[11]='queen.svg';imag[12]='king.svg';Display();"
and cannot handle that.
OK, see you all tomorrow.
So, we should stick to how we've been handling pages in other languages by making them separate pages.
Yes I mean different pages. No problem)
But how to handle colors of pieces in IDs (here 8000FF for black Greenwade)?
OK with that, but following all is fine!
How to embed these small graphics like here?
Also, Bob, how to make colorful black images (8000ff), and split pawn & shield as here?
I’ve seen how many pages are on Russian here. Just two! It’s a shame. Can I fix it? I can translate several game pages, please don’t stop me for doing so.

SPQR. The perfect battle formation of Roman infantry. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Modest note:
Crossing back into own territory will not make a King lose its "dictatorial powers".
Once a King becomes a Dictator it will remain a Dictator till the end of the game.
These sentences can be merged into one because they carry one sense.
Though so many paragraphs is not normal in my honest opinion, a blocks for each rule can be very useful for better finding the corresponding rule in the text, which is much more useful than correct visual looking.
I don't recall the Hyperbola
Try to guess) If you decide to choose Hyperbola, I can tell you how it moves. Hyperbola steps as Ferz, continues like a Rook (our favorite Griffon, Aanca, Eagle, etc.) but just two spaces, then it turns 45° back and slides like a Rook on the same line where Hyperbola has started.
UPD: remind that Electrician rides electric scooter…
Colorbound Chess. Pieces never change their squares’ color, so army is divided into two halves – attacking and defending. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Images of pieces are not yet made, but can you review – is the text acceptable?
Maybe Soucie as the 200th? And I have suggestions for you to pre-open the door:
- Rocket (the soul of Rocket Chess on square board)
- Getting Ready For Launching (also inspired by that)
- Electrician (rotary counterpart for Zip)
- Hexmaster (hexagonal rider on square board)
- Rosetta aka Astra (long ago;))
- Hyperbola (something to pre-open)…
Choose one of them and I’ll write its move. I recommend making Hyperbola 200th.

• Capturing piece is cutting through

Fluidity Chess. No displacement capture, all non-royal pieces take by cutting through or bypassing. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Bruh! argh! hmmm…
I was creating this by Russian understanding of this word which is “рассекать”and can informally mean “move very fast”, related to this game because it’s possible to take several pieces per turn.
Maybe change dissecting to dissolving? It adds sense and saves root idea!
UPD: noted that there was no mention of promotion, fixed that)
UPD2: fixed, rewritten, clarified that capturing the pieces in row is possible and 3-piece restriction is manual tweak, not the capacity. Also read please (but dissolving instead of dissecting)

If I’ll say how many ideas I have, you’ll be overwhelmed. At least 25 or 30.
