Ajax Falcon Chess. Ajax Chess on a 10x8 board with two Ajax Falcon drops. (10x8, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The Ajax Falcon Chess preset now enforces all game rules.
Let me know if you encounter any bugs with the preset.

Ajax Orthodox Chess. Orthodox Chess with Ajax-Chessmen, and droping Ajax-Ministers. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thanks Carlos! I'm honored to see my Ajax Chessmen migrating into other inventors variants. Sure I accept your challenge for Ajax Bigamous Chess. Send me an invite. My preference would be with Ministers, but Ajax Bigamous Chess is your variant, so I will play it according to your rules. You can easily make a Game Courier preset for Ajax Bigamous Chess that enforces game rules using the code from my Ajax Orthodox Chess preset. Let me know if you need any help building the Game Courier preset.
Circular Chess. Chess on a round board. (16x4, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Cool!
Here is a sample picture of a circular board from Wikipedia.
I'll have to build one too someday.
Why allowing null moves? Isn't that just like a 'pass'?

Makruk (Thai chess). Rules and information. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H.G.
If you use the elephant, just call it a Burmese Elephant, which does move just like a Silver.
Sittuyin (Burmese Chess) is closely related to Makruk. And the Elephant piece is called a Sin in Burmese, so you can still use the initial S for the piece.
I actually use Seirawan Elephants for the Thai Bishops when I play Makruk OTB. Here is my western Makruk set:

Game Courier Tournament #4: An Introductory Semi-Potluck. A tournament to feature games good for introducing people to Chess variants.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Everyone should be receiving the error below in their Ajax Orthodox Chess games: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home1/chessvar/public_html/play/pbm/sets/alfaerie-ajax.php on line 2 Actually the error is affecting all my Ajax variants presets. I asked Fergus last night to update the Ajax Piece set for Game Courier with a few more pieces for my Ajax Wars game coming up, but unfortunately there must have been a typo or something that messed up the Alfaerie for Ajax piece set I use in my Ajax variants. I asked Fergus to take a look at it, and hope that the problem will be resolved soon.
Ajax Chess. All pieces have can play one square in any direction, the Mastodon leaper complements the Knight. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hi Antoine Fourrière, (or Fergus),
Can you please add my two new pieces below for the Ajax Elephant to the 'Alfaerie: Many' piece set?
It's a Burmese Elephant (Shogi Silver) that can also move one (non-capturing) step sideways or backwards.
Thanks.

Hi Antoine Fourrière, Can you please add my two new pieces below for the Ajax Elephant to the 'Alfaerie: Many' piece set? Can you also add them to Alfaerie for Ajax set? I'm assuming you are going to call them: White Elephant => 'alfaeriemisc/carrillo/wajaxelephant.gif' Black Elephant => 'alfaeriemisc/carrillo/bajaxelephant.gif'
Thanks Antoine. Can you also add the Guard (Man or Commoner) to the Alfaerie for Ajax piece set?

Moves like an Ajax Ferz... Fusilier! Like the sound of that.
Ajax Chess. All pieces have can play one square in any direction, the Mastodon leaper complements the Knight. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thanks Charles!
I have to admit I like the 'Ajax Rider' concept you coined together!
I will experiment with these riders later, especially the Ajax Rider Rook.
Thanks also for the link on Bolyar Chess!
Funnily enough, I am experimenting an Ajax Citadels variant with Carlos Cetina, and lately (after Omega chess) I seem to find Citadel variants all over the place...
I find interesting the Bolyar concept of a higher promotion at the Citadel (to Generals) and may explore this concept.
Ajax Rider Rook (represented below by a Boylar Queen): It moves & captures like a Rook, and it may also play as a non-capturing Bishop.

HyperModern Shatranj. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I agree about the confusion regarding the pawns. Probably a copy and paste of rules from the Modern Shatranj page, as not even the pieces in the diagram match the ones in the game in the tournament. But in the first paragraph it does say that the game uses modern pawn rules (= 2 squares initial move + en passant). Regarding the Elephant, I wouldn't call it a 'Bishop' like piece that can jump. It's actually an Alfil (that jumps) that can also play like a Ferz.
Makruk (Thai chess). Play the traditional Chess variant of Thailand on Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hi Antoine,
Can you please add the 8 pieces below to the Alfaerie Many set?
I'm working on a Makruk variant with new Burmese Elephants (Ferz + 1-orthogonal space in specific north, south, east or west directions).
Thanks.

Ajax Chess. All pieces have can play one square in any direction, the Mastodon leaper complements the Knight. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Interesting idea. Want to try it? http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game%3DAjax+Xiangqi%26settings%3DCambaluc http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game%3DAjax+Xiangqi%26settings%3DChinese I'll send you and invite. Interesting new elephant! Now it can reach ALL squares behind the river. Pieces move as in Xiangqi, with the additional Ajax non-capturing steps. All other Xiangqi rules are the same. King/General: moves and captures 1-step orthogonally, plus Ajax 1-step diagonal; can't leave the palace Advisor/Guards: moves and captures 1-step diagonally, plus Ajax 1-step orthogonal; can't leave the palace Rook/Chariot: regular rook, plus Ajax 1-step diagonal Horse/Knight: regular chinese knight, plus Ajax 1-step around perimeter Elephant: regular chinese elephant, plus Ajax 1-step around perimeter; can't cross the River Cannon: regular chinese cannon, plus Ajax 1-step around perimeter Pawns/Soldiers: regular chinese pawn - No Ajax additional moves.
Gee thanks! Feels like opening Pandoras' box... I'm actually going to enjoy much Ajax Xiangqi! My problem with Xiangqi was the uselessness of the Elephant (Alfil). But the Ajax version, while still limited to it's own side of the board, can reach all squares! That's an improvement!
Charles, Not sure I followed you there. The game we are playing is with all pieces gaining their Ajax moves. The King, Guard and Elephant definitely have specific improvements over their Chinese Chess counterparts related to the Palace and River. But the other pieces: Rook, Cannon and Knight (Horse) all also get Ajax moves. Rooks and Cannons have a 1-step non-capturing diagonal move. The Knight (like the Elephant) get a 1-step non-capturing move in every direction (orthogonal or diagonal). Maybe I misunderstood your comment...
