Comments by Claudio Martins Jaguaribe

For me, it's ok, but I always clearly show whem I'm kidding and ask for apologies after the joke; what was not the case, in this game that can be seen in one of my comments to C.B.-J (joke and apologies).

Christine: as we dont have Alfaerie for these pieces, I guess, put a little who's who.

Thanks and kisses!

BTW: Christine where are you from?

Nice!

But the idea of a Big Crunch, or a Big Rip to end the game should be considered.

Hugs.

What are the origins of te pieces names?

Mostly the Mecklemberg, Defending and Fish pawns?

Thanks!

Charles:
You owe me an apologie! After all you acused me to made you look vain, when
it' was clearly a typo!!!!

Does the the words:'Sorry Claudio. You right! I'm didn't noticed the
first comment!'. Aren't in your vocabulary??!! The lack of a apologie
really did you look vain, after all uncapable to admit that you made a
minor mistake.

At least GEORGE DUKE PAYS ATENTION IN WHAT I WRITE!

As always, names, and possibly, pieces for my Megadoom Project. What would be, perhaps, the largest CV until now.

To understand the project and and my pains, take a look at this, please:

Thanks! So, fell free to mail me, os send me a good dark beer from Englad! ;) (Sorry I'm a carioca brazilian ado I love to play with people I admire and like).

Here in Brazil I'll use PVC caps for pieces.

Hugs.

Dear Guys:

Recently I’ve discovered that my one of my bosses is a chess fan, so, I
initiated him in the beautiful world of the CVs. For starting point I teach
him about Shogi, Xiang Qi, and Capablanca. Besides that I mentioned
Berolina Chess, Random Chess and Perfect symmetry (white king faces black
queen).

 In a second moment I presented him with: Shatranj, Chaturanga, Courrier,
Duke of Rutland and Tamerlane.

Now I don’t know which variants to present him, my ones, just a
piececlopedia? Shogi variants?

What do you think?

Thanks guys!

I'm mesmerized by it!

But I've noticed that if you change places of the rooks and knights, all leapers and all sliders will be on one side. I can make the game ore interesting.

Hugs!

Guys:

Besides some suggestions from Daniil and a comment form Mr. Gilman I had no response about this topic/project. So, it’s like The Little Red Hen story; if you are thinking: “I can do it better “, remember that you didn’t and I did. If you have any suggestions, I’m open to then, but, first, read the rules.

Until now I’ve been gathering few ideas, but I didn’t yet made the calculations of the number of the pieces, just the base moves and the templates (take a look at http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSbasepiecesandt to understand the concept).

At this point I need help with the pieces names (yes, I know kings, etc, but some others…).

O	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
D	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
C	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
O fD	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
D fO	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
fO	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
fD	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
fC	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
mO cD	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
mD cO	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
mfO cfD	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk
mfD cfO	1	n	S2	S3	S4	L2	L3	L4	2+	3+	4+	cL1	mL1	mcL1	Sl	Sk

To help you, help me, let me tell you what means the letters: O- orthogonal, D- diagonal, C- compound (O+D), f- forward, m- move, c- capture, n= any number, S(n)- slides the number, L(n)- leaps the number, (n)+- must at least slide the number, L1- cannon capture movement, Sl- slip movement, Sk- skip movement.

For the knight family, I have, now, the following:

O1 D1, D1 O1	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM
O2 D1, D1 O2	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM
O3 D1, D1 O3	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM
O1 D2, D2 O1	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM
O1 D3, D3 O1	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM
O2 D2, D2 O2	L	Lf	S	SOD	SDO	R	GM	SR	SODR	SDOR	SGM	SODGM	SDOGM

L- leaps, Lf- leaps forward (Shogilike), Slides (Moo), R- rider, GM- Grand Master.

A note about the Grand Master, see the description on the Bizarro Chess.
(http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSbizarrochess)

The 4:2 Leaper, although Mr. Gilman named it Charolais, I name it the Templar, because of the Knights Templar seal (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Templarsign.jpg)

The irony is that the Portuguese piece name is horse (cavalo), but as I use a lot of English I use the knight/religious orders ranks.

Any suggestions?

Hugs!

Very similar to my own Bizarro's Chess.

Take a look!

Hugs!

Noted!

I ask you to take a look to the making off, the tale and the mega doom project.

Thanks!

PS: I don't know how to make zrfs and the like.

Dear Daniil:

I've read your message.

I loved it! Ididn't fully evaluated it becaus I'm having sime troubles in my life, so omy interest in CVs have diminished. This weekend I'll take a look at the coment.

Hugs!

Dear Charles:

I believe that my Mega Doom Chess Has a lot to do with you and your ideas.

Would you care to take a look, and, who knows, promote it?

Hugs.

Daniil:

The idea here is bring the best and the maximum of pieces to work.

Place your pieces here.

Hugs!


PS: Anybody else:

PS2: Editors, whenever possible, put the white horse, as the Short Range Project (it's an article).

Dear editors:

Shouldn't it be Fic instead of game?

Hugs.

Interesting, 3 different games in 3 diferent layers...

Daniil, the LOL= lots of laughs, so, I guess, everybody knows that's a joke, I'm just teasing you, it's of a brazilian, mostly cariocas (I'm one), nature.

And you can tell everybody that you hate me back because of the cross infection (LOL).

I'm up a project that may get your atention (Mega Doom Chess).

Hugs!

Now Daniil, if you read my variant (Har Meggido) or the making off, you'll understand my hate (LOL)

Hugs!

Matts:

I'm having the same problem, today I sent a mail and I'm waiting an
answer.

Hugs.

Daniil, altough I hate you (LOL), I had the same problem!

MOre in the xx vs yy.

Hugs!

Too big? Hard to handle?

Did you took a look to Taikoku Shogi?

Wait to see my new project...

Huga.
