Sorry, but now when I try to click on the log I arrive on an error page. Maybe I should not have played the last move and I should have waited that the problem is solved.

Thanks, it works now!

Ok, so the round 3 has begun!

By the way, what is the result of the second round?

Round 4 already finished? You're getting fast guys :) (joking)

I'm back for the round 5.

So far the classification:

erik 7 points

Daniel 6 points

Aurelian 3 points

Oisin 0 points

Hello Aurelian,

Sorry I didn't see that the last round has begun. It's true that my e-mail is not visible. I could have given it to you (or you could have asked me:) at the start of the tournament...

Sorry, I don't play long-term correspondence games anymore. So I resign for my last games and I give the victory to my opponent Daniel. Congratulations for all the participants, and for Aurelian for creating Apothecary Chess! The 3rd round games I play against Daniel were particularly intense from beginning to end.


Play-test applet for chess variants. Applet you can play your own variant against.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

@HG: it seems that there is a new limitation to the play-test applet, I suppose this is a bug. It is not possible anymore to set more than 10 files wide for the board format (while it is still possible for the number of ranks). Beforehand I could do with more than 10 files several times. I tried with Firefox, Safari and Opera, same result.

Ok thanks, it works now.


Ideas for future of chess variants[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Another excellent 10x10 game that was not mentioned by Kevin but was very much played on this website (but I don't think it is played elsewhere) is Rococo, even it differs a little more from chess than the other mentioned variants. Rococo is also a "recognised variant" on the CVP (for what it's worth). But I suppose that accustomed chess players would more easily be interested in more "conventional" variants.
