Another question: Can you delete an uploaded graphic?

Okay. I don't need space, but one of them had a capitalization error, and it's really bugging me. I could upload one with the right spelling, but then I would have a duplicate which would mess with my OCD. Would you delete this one?

I have a few questions.

  1. Is it possible to describe pieces like the Rose or Crooked Bishop using this notation, which doesn't support the "q" or "z" modifier? Same goes with cylindrical piece
  2. What is the "j" modifier supposed to do?
  3. Can you merge multiple cells together for a masonry pattern?

The interactive diagrams are completely broken. If you click on a piece, none of the squares are highlighted, and clicking on the target square does nothing.


sirius628 wrote on Sat, Sep 30, 2017 04:12 PM EDT:

Chess on a Really Big Board uses a Rose, and Golden Age Chess on a Really Big Board uses both Rose and Crooked Bishop. Also, the "j" doesn't work. Writing "jA" or "jD" just gives me a regular leaper.


Improving Typography[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

This screws up tables. I think you should revert to the old typography.


sirius628 wrote on Sat, Sep 30, 2017 10:24 PM EDT:

This page has the piece diagram as a table, and the squares aren't uniform. Sometimes they even get bigger or smaller when you move a piece. Also, I liked the old font.


sirius628 wrote on Sun, Oct 1, 2017 12:00 PM EDT:

But right now, the spaces are elongated even if the window is full width or even full-screen!


sirius628 wrote on Sun, Oct 1, 2017 12:16 PM EDT:

That's good, but now the pieces are immovable.

There's still a few problems. The betza parser incorrectly interperets L as (2,3) and J as (1,3), when it should be the other way around. Second, there's something wrong with my diagram here, because the Knight's initial moves (imafN) aren't darkened. Third, your Four Board Chess and Golden Age Chess don't give en passant rights to the pawn. And finally, I would suggest adding Betza's "o" for cylindrical pieces, in addition to "oo" for toroidal ones.

There's a problem with the King swapping move. It just gets rid of the Prince instead of switching with it.

Didn't the leap color used to be more orange? Now it is almost impossible to distuingish from a slide.


Chess with Different Armies. Betza's classic variant where white and black play with different sets of pieces. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The king is supposed to move three squares on the queenside if the queenside rook is colorbound. This is so the piece doesn't change colors.


sirius628 wrote on Mon, Oct 16, 2017 07:29 PM EDT:
Cool. I agree with switching off the psuedo-check moves. Also, shouldn't the chiral sastiks and chiral aancas be switched? And can the bozos king castel with the chiral griffon?

The markers for the U atom are screwed up. Typing in U gives weird grey squares with weird pictures on them.

You're right, promotion should be made mandatory. I will correct that immediately. But leap-capture shouldn't be, especially if it makes a cat move in that direction illegal. Furthermore, the lion in chu shogi, which inspired the move, but not the name of the cat, is not forced to capture a leapt-over piece. And I can remove the single step castling move if need be, I simply didn't know that. I would suggest representing multi-capture using the Chu Shogi notation for multi-capture.
