Jetan. Martian Chess, coming from the book The Chessmen of Mars. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Just putting this diagram out there. It assumes that the panthan can go diagonally backwards, just as the gryphon can skip the rook move. I also had to make the "escape move" on available on the intial move of the princess. The pieces are white and black like standard chess, but the board is orange and black.

Quinquereme Chess. Large variant with a new piece, the Quinquereme. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think you should make the part where there is Leeloo, space Pentere, Leeloo become space, Leeloo, Pentere, space. The Leeloo is clearly stronger than a Chancellor (Rook + Knight), and a Chancellor (Rook + Knight) is about as strong as a Queen. Therefore, the Leeloo is stronger than a Queen, so there should just be 1.

Betza Notation. A primer on the leading shorthand for describing variant piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Would you help me? I'm writing an interactive diagram for beastmaster chess, and don't know how to express the (1,4) and (1,5) leaps of the Pegasus and Wyvern. Could I use the bracket notation of [WL] and [DL], or would that crash it?

csipgs Chess. Design and buy new chess pieces during play. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I would consider adding a (3,2) leaper as well as a lame modifier.
Apothecary Chess-Modern. Large board variant obtained through tinkering with known games.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The champion is pretty strong and should be average.

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?
Vu Vo's Home Page -- Quang Trung Chess 
. Website of Vu Vo -- Quang Trung Chess.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Interactive diagrams. Diagrams that interactively show piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a few questions.
- 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
- What is the "j" modifier supposed to do?
- Can you merge multiple cells together for a masonry pattern?

Sorry to be pedantic, but doesn't a knight have 8 moves, and a cat have 16, not 8? Do you know how I calculated the value of the cat?
