Thanks, Jeremy!
It would be nice to hear from Ralph again on this forum....
Andy, have you tried simply uploading the file again. Does this work?
I am not rating this page now, because I want to try the 3D board first. This may deserve an 'excellent.' One significant problem with 3D variants (some very interesting) is that they are difficult or near impossible to properly visualize on a 2D platform, such as Game Courier or ZOG. One needs a physical 3D board (sometimes not possible), or a computer-generated 3D model that can be manipulated to present various views, to appreciate 3D games. 2D platforms require players to imagine the 3D connections between 2D slices of the board. An analogy would be trying to visualize a 2D board cut into 1D slices, say each rank presented side by side, instead of top to bottom as usual. Try playing on that board! Anyway, the offered computer generated board may work. Let's see!
Well, I don't know about that...but, take a look at: http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game=Jetan+Jeddara&log=tony_quintanilla-whittlin-2006-142-201
Ibu Ibu Alice Alice Chess! What a concept! Nothing if not fun, I'm sure. All in 3 days, too! This would make a great 3 day feast -- perfect for Memorial Day. Seriously, keeping the growing number of pieces and possibilies straight, flipping from board to board especially, would be a true mind-bender, but, hey, that would be the fun of it!
Interesting use of the Go board for a Chess variant.
For those who wished for a Go preset to try Chess variants on, here it is (19x19): http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MPgo Let me know what other features you would like, 9x9 board? The piece set I am using was created by Larry L. Smith for his 3-d ZRF's and only has the standard chess set. If anyone wishes to have other pieces, perhaps they could create some (they are very small and easy to modify).
To Mats, regarding 'Casaux Chess'. This could refer to one of Jean-Louis Casaux's games, perhaps Shako?
Yes, I deleted four spam links for pharmaceuticals.
Namik, David Howe has just added the ability to make a page for Game Courier presets at, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/membersubmission.php?isgamecourier=1 You still have to create the basic HTML code for the Game Courier preset URL and any text you want. Try it for your presets. Thanks to David!
Joe, David Howe has just added the ability to make a page for Game Courier presets at, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/membersubmission.php?isgamecourier=1 You still have to create the basic HTML code for the Game Courier preset URL and any text you want.
Joe, you are correct. The preset on your link is perfect, but it is not separately listed. The preset is not posted as a separate page with a green icon. Only individually posted pages can be listed, whether member or editor created. Someone looking for a preset in the preset lists could then find it. As it is, one can only find your preset by looking at the game page or the comments on the game page. That's ok too. A separate page is not necessary, but you had asked about listing your preset. For that, a posted page is needed. That's an extra step that requires an editor at this time (that's the slow part!).
Joe, yes, the preset links work just fine, but I did not realize they were there. Could I suggest a note below the images noting the link to the presets? To list them as presets, we'll have to post separate pages for the presets. -- Tony.
Sounds like fun (Priestess, swift like a horse, strength of an elephant?). Can a preset button or URL be added?

Interesting setup. It looks like you created a Game Courier preset for the setup diagram. It would be nice if you could add a preset button to your page? To do this, copy the HTML form code for the preset button into your page HTML. You can see to code at the bottom of the 'Editing a Preset' page, in a window just above 'Available Pieces.'
Namik, you can! See the related item (green icon).
Jeremy, the Dervish Chess initial setup should show up now.
Very nice site! Interesting selection.
