Hi Ben,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have changed the piece diagrams and use dots to indicate their movements.

Hi Fergus,

Thanks for your comment. I have replaced the blue squares at the centre with green.

There is supposed to be 3x3 palace (like Xiangqi) at the centre of the board, hence the different colours.

Bishops Chess. Chess with two light-squared and two dark-squared Bishops on each side.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Thanks for your feedback.

I have reinvented this chess variant into Kingsmen. The pawns are on the third rank like in Shogi, and cannot double advance on the first move (and hence no en passant).

Also like Shogi, all non-royal pieces in Kingsmen promote on the last three ranks. A promoted piece can move like a King (one square in any direction) in addition to its original moves.

Chimera Chess. The highlight of this chess variant are the Chimera pieces, which are substantially enhanced versions of the orthodox Knight.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Yes, I have pitted the two armies against each other in the Zillions of Games (ZoG) engine, and Chimera Chess turned out to be the winner every time.

Perhaps if the Flying Jester (ZoG calculates it as slightly weaker than the Knight) is weakened to Jester, the FIDE army might stand a chance.

Thanks for your suggestion, Ben.

I named it as "Chimera Rider" since I envision it as a Sage riding a Chimera into battle. Perhaps I can change the name when I find a better one.

Dear Fergus,

I am the inventor of Chimera chess who posted the description above.

I had a look at the page from my account, and I can see all the images.

Could you please check again?

Thanks,

Albert

Ministers Chess. Two queens on each side on a 9x9 board, available commercially.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I previously posted on this site as Alto. I've proposed a rules change to Ministers chess before, in the hope of making it less queen-dependent and have bishops on squares of alternating colours.

I've changed my mind about my previous post, and came up with an idea of a different kind of chess played on a 9x9 board. I created a Zillions of Games file of the game as well, and shall submit my new chess variant to this website soon.
