Chess Variant Construction Set. Putting together a set of materials for playing several different Chess variants.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a variant, besides the DoR chess, that uses a 14x10 board. How to play in a 12x12? And, the phi number for 14 is 10 and for 10 is 14, for 8 is 13... So in the beauty of the eye, 14x10 is more pleasant than 12x12. Hugs!
Dear Mr. Duke: You don't know how much pleased I am for your quoting in thoughts. In a time that Ive been feeling unapreciated in my job, see a person half-world away that I admire quoting me as 'brain food' gives me the strenght to keep going. Hugs
Knightless symmetric chess. Missing description (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Sorry, I've forgot. Yes, they do promote to their long range versions. Hugs!
Locusts. Simple chess variant with only two set of pieces on each army. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Is there a limit of locusts and leos? Thank's
Sorry, I've meant about the number of locusts and leos in the board. Hugs!
Help! I was posting Bizzarro's chess when I pressed something wrong and lost my work. I know that it's there, somewhere, but I can't find it to finish it or post it again, they say that there's already a variant with this name (of course, mine). What do I do? Can you help me? Thanks!
Catapults of Troy. Large variant with a river, catapults, archers, and trojan horses! (8x11, Cells: 88) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I liked the board and lots of things in the pieces. The good came because some reasons: i- The assymmetric arrange of the pieces, lots of 'lone' pieces; ii- The cartoonish ability to the BB to 'pull the rug from the feet of the enemy'; iii- The idea of a 'heavy' piece like the TJ jumping the river, he should slide like a half-sissa (using only the foward diagonals). Some questions: 1- The rook also does not cross the river, right? 2- Can the A jump over the river? After all, only him and the TJ leaps; 3- Shouldn't be better, if the bridges belong a number to a side, instead of a commom pool? And, so, could be destroyed by the BB. 4- How far a C can throw a piece? Good things: a- I loved the TJ leaving A behind, it's a great idea, could be evem more A in a larger board; b- The catapult its also a great piece, even without a river; c-The R is also a great piece, mostly because it is too strong, but can be used only once and it's gone. Hugs!
So, in the diagram the white catapult in E4 can throw the archer, who must had retreated, after all they are supposed to be laid in the attack field, up to E11 making it capture the black king and whinning the game, right? Should I announce the check? Hugs!
How do I do to post an article? Thanks!

Hanga Roa. A chess variant inspired by the people of Easter Island. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]George: Did you noticed that it is unfair? After all, I guess that I'm the only south-american in the CV? Should I create ALL cv's or just Brazil's (by the way, I'm starting to think about it)? Hugs!
' Roid Rage Chess. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Dear Charles: The 'roid came from steroid, 'roid rage is the overagressiveness state that came from the steroid abuse, in this case, all pieces are powerful, as if they were all abusing steroids. Hugs! PS: I hope to see my grand-master in your man and beast article, please tell me when it happens
European Chess. A multiplayer, different armies form of chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Bizarro Chess. Missing description (2x(8x8), Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Checkmate, at least, one king. Hugs!
European Chess. A multiplayer, different armies form of chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Weird. The link below wasn't working, I've got a 404 message, bt now it's fine! Sorry and hugs!
Bizarro Chess. Missing description (2x(8x8), Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Yes. One king, no matter wich one. Why, do you have any suggestion? Hugs.
War of the Worlds. Chess army from planet Earth against the Martian forces of Jetan. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Daniil, did you took a look to the Clash of Civilizations variant, by Namik Zede? Hugs! PS: Where are you from?
Jetan. Martian Chess, coming from the book The Chessmen of Mars. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I'm confused. A leap possibility gives another square? Ex.: a piece in a1, blocked by a piece in a2, leaps the piece and moves 3 or leaps and moves 2? Thanks.
Alfaerie Variant Chess Graphics. Set of chess variant graphics based on Eric Bentzen's Chess Alpha font.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Nope! He's right! In miscelaneous there's a nightknight, but, once I asked about this and they told me that not all designs are real pieces. Or, the nightknight is the knightrider, did you took a look at the piececlopedia? Hugs.
Yalta. A three player chess variant. (Cells: 96) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I've been thinking, it's problably crazy, but if we make a 9x10 board we could make a FIDE x Shogi x Xiang Qi. The most significant change would be another queen to FIDE. Shogi wouls promote on any three last ranks and Xiang Qi would be the same. Hugs.
Its very different from my original idea, but go for it! Do it! Its very interesting. Hugs.
All the King's Men. Page describing variant chess pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The correct url is: http://www.mayhematics.com/v/gm.htm Hugs!
Now, older and wiser in the ways of CVs, I can answer my item vi- wich variants should be in the starter set? FIDE, Shogi, Xing Qi (Cambaluc) and Capablanca. The first three, I guess it is obvious, the Capablanca is just because would be 4 pieces and a little rulebook, so it's better to be in the starter set. Hugs!
No, George. I just don't believe it should be part of the starter set (it must be simple), but I do believe that it should be a expansion set, with tiles, pieces and instructions. Hugs.
