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.

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

When implementing Mansindam on other sites, may I use the alfaerie piece icon?

Mansindam has been temporarily added to Pychess!

💡📝Daphne Snowmoon wrote on Thu, Nov 17, 2022 01:47 PM UTC:

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 hope you have a nice day!

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.

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.

H. G. Muller // Yep I fixed that

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.

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 02:59 PM UTC in reply to Daphne Snowmoon from 01:37 PM:

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