Chess and a Half. Game with extra leapers.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Sorry for the confusion. Only the radial leapers can multi-capture. Queen castling is removed now, because it was honestly just changing for the sake of changing, and didn't improve the game at all. You didn't mention this, but King-to-Kraken promotion is also gone now, as it forced players to keep playing in positions that would normally be insufficient-material, but would allow a win through King promotion. I have changed the rules to force promotion of non-pawns. And finally, "not mostly not" was a simple error, thank you for pointing it out.
The "almost identical variant" has the elephants move differently from your elephants, however.
Macadamia Shogi. Pieces promote on capture to multi-capturing monsters. (13x13, Cells: 169) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The written description says that the capricorner can reach any square of its color on an empty board, but the move diagrams says that it cannot. Same with the hook mover.
Pieces promote by capturing a piece of equal or greater power. The goal is to capture both Jeweled Generals.
Pieces promote in the order of: Iron --> Copper --> Silver --> Gold --> Platinum --> Jeweled. Do you think that these problems could be solved by adding a leaper or rider? Another problem is that an iron reaching the back rank would be trapped. Currently, I solve that by saying that only the iron promotes on the back rank, and only to copper, but that seems to make the promotion optional, even though I want it to be mandatory.
True, but I included the platinum general because I wanted a clear intermediate step between the gold general and the jeweled general. A Phoenix or Kirin would be probably be slightly stronger than a jeweled general, due to it have two square moves. However, I could add a Phoenix/Kirin, pehaps even with the promotions to Queen or Lion!
It seems like this would solve the problem:
- Move the iron generals forward by one rank, giving more space for pieces.
- Add a promotable Pheonix/Kirin pair just in front of the Silvers.
However, this has no initial riders or oblique leapers. Oh well, there's always some problem with any variant.
"There was no Alfaerie Elephant-Wazir" Isn't there the chess with different armies Waffle, which moves as Elephant or Wazir?
Refusal Chess. Refuse your opponent to make certain moves. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Sorry to be pedantic, but it's cache, not cash. To address your actual question, you flush the cache via Alt-F5.
Kevin, I don't you understood what HG was saying. First, he was talking about a 10x8 board, and second, he meant that the first bishop was worth 350 cP, and the second was worth 400 cP, for a total of 750 cP, which would actually mean 375 cP each. (cP means centipawns).
Grand Tamerlane Chess. John Davis invented this variation of Mideast Chess. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@HG Muller
This is Grand Tamerlane Chess, not Grand Chu Chess
