Grand Apothecary Chess-Modern. Very large Board variant obtained trough tinkering with known games.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have added in the notes sections explanations about why are the pieces are the way they are in this game. They are not perfect, but I had questions and I wanted to answer them.

Gross Chess. A big variant with a small learning curve. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]There is also the issue as having all pawns protected in the initial position. Don't forget about it. Although with so many pieces this is relatively easy to do!
Jean-Louis understood what I wanted to say, well. Thanks for the interest Kevin!
I think the archbishop(s) is better on the side. That eases it's development.
I'd like it, but people do not seem interested at this time.

No, actually it does not. It works well when choosing the normal link. But when choosing the deprecated link, after the challenge is made, when one tries to accept the game reverts to regular chess (the default one).
Thanks, Fergus! It now works as intended.
That is probably the case. How do I fix that? It goes the same for apothecary chess modern.
It is about this preset: https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Apothecary+Chess-Classic&settings=ApothecaryChess-Classic
and this invitation:
Mac uses a different browser. I think that is the differentce.
@Fergus, @Richard Milner - if you may help
A few days ago Richard Milner issued some apothecary chess classic challenges that have shown an older attempt of mine (with the brouhaha squares in the corner). This should not have happened so I had asked around. Jean-Louis found out that on Mac there was button that was leading to the wrong preset (that preset does actually exist but the game page shows something else). I had used a mac and deleted a small part of the code written in the page in the apothecary chess classic page code, and I had seen that button missing. I do not know what happens now, but I'm not seeing the code anymore but Richard Milner managed to make a wrong challenge again. I still do not know what he did. Fergus, have you any idea about what is going on?
That is sad, then.
A tournament would be nice. A longer one than usual maybe.

That is because flank attacks by white where too dangerous in start positions where the black rook of the file was undefended. Also more king safety should he castle.

If there is something different from the article in the initial position! Something like the brouhaha squares being in the corner!
Anyone?
To me this preset is ok, but someone made a challenge featuring an older preset. May someone check if the preset is the proper one please?

Are these the correct instructions at the end of the presets?
