Cool, thanks;) noting that Queen and Oracle are pretty equal.

Rational suggestion: what if external links will use the same font as the main text (Literata) but still be underlined twice as now? This increases text’s readability in some cases.

One of the best games on your comments’ wall, both v1 and v2. You can add Astras (XBetza AH) to the corners and you’ll get v3:)
Or not Astras, but Indices{Dragons} (FafafsfF) to Whites and Oxen (nDafafsfW) to Blacks.

Frog/Hannibal/Waffle chess with Gryphon/Manticore and falcon. Expansions of Kevin Pacey's Frog/Hannibal/Wafle Chess. (9x10, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Woah, somehow you got it!!!

really one page instead of six is what I suggested much time ago. Well done!

Only flaw is that some pieces are linked to Piececlopedia while others aren’t.


Charge of the Light Brigade. Seven knights fight 3 queens, and usually win! (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I’ve recently seen a YouTube video with game between Levy Rozman (aka GothamChess) without his Knights VS Hikaru Nakamura with 7 Knights. Hikaru won, but it’s partially because he played by White and Levy blundered his Bishop on 4th move.

Maybe Bishops’ pair & 2 Rooks are better than 2 Queens.

Please help. Where to write morphing, after which line and with which symbols, after or before, I should embed it? https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Different+Pawns+Random+Chess&settings=diffpawnrandom-coded&submit=Edit

I second Racing Kings and Seirawan Chess.

Info:

  1. Seirawan Chess is playable against Pychess’ Fairy-Stockfish.
  2. Racing Kings is playable on Lichess, and therefore is a) very popular variant with many games played and b) supported by Lichess’ Stockfish.

And:

Games in variants available on Lichess can be downloaded here.

So I tried to give the image some atomic flavor by illustrating what would disappear on a capture.

Can I rather send you a screenshot of Lichess game moment with capture? Lichess permits its parts’ displaying even in commercial uses.

This is position from one of my 2298 games (not counting previous accounts with 4000+ played games). I think this image better covers the case of terminating player’s own pieces.

Other reason is that current image on the main page denoting Atomic Chess shows the move which ultimately leads to the lost game (via …Qf6 then 1. f3 Qd4 …# or 2. Kd1 Nd4 c3 Ne2 …#), which isn’t quite good.

Well, however I didn’t understand how two pieces on one ‘safe’ square can be obtained?
