Terachess II. An unrealistic summit on a very large board of 16x16 squares and 128 pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Aurelian, the Troll had an awkward move. I had the feeling it is not well in accordance with the other pieces. In actual play it is used very early with its long jump in order to expect an exchange with a more valuable piece, but then it remains a bit useless in the middle. On the opposite, the Squirrel is a compound piece that has a "consistent" pattern, not an artificial one. I mean it is more perceived as a piece jumping all around at the 2nd square, than a sum of Dabbaba+Alfil+kNight. This is well in-line for what I'm looking for in those variants. Tests will say. Maybe I'm wrong.
