Mansindam (Pantheon Tale). A variant that combines 'drop' rule and strong pieces, and there is no draw. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

H. G. Muller // So in your example, does it mean that Black lose is normal, but White loses with Mansindam's variants.ini?

What you would consider 'normal' I cannot say. I would say that 'normal' is FIDE rules, and that would mean a draw. But according to the rules described in the Mansindam article black would lose, while in the variant.ini (which you presumably used in the 30 games with Stockfish) white would indeed lose.

Another point is that you will never see losses by repetitions from engines, because engines are programmed to avoid losing. They would avoid an immediate loss at any cost. So the only thing that you could hope to see is some very bad moves it was forced to do to prevent a repetition.

H. G. Muller // Umm, then how do you think Mansindam's variants.ini definition should be modified while maintaining the rules?

H. G. Muller wrote on Wed, Nov 2, 2022 05:47 PM UTC:

I have never used Fairy Stockfish. But I suppose you would have to set the perpetualCheckIllegal parameter to false, or leave it out completely. Which it seems you have already done now in the published version.

The description of Knight's move was edited as follows :

-> Moves to the nearest square among squares that do not correspond to the same file, rank, and diagonal from its position.

This has been published. I have edited the text to improve the grammar and clarity. It could still be better, but is acceptable. Thank you for your patience.

Some words have been corrected

(e.g. Surrender -> Resignation)

And some pieces have been renamed to make them easier to read

(e.g. 雲 ⇒ 云)

I am agonizing whether to create a separate page just for puzzles or to add puzzles to this page

I suppose it should depend on how many you want to add. A few illustrative puzzles would be appropriate here, but if you want to provide a large collection, it may be appropriate to put them on their own page.
