I am not sure where to put this. My bookmark for the Gothic Chess comment areas points to dead space. Anyway, here goes: ============= The 2005 Gothic Chess Computer World Championship will be held online this year at the http://www.GothicChessLive.com website. Everyone is invited to watch, and if you have written a Gothic Chess program, participation is free! We have one candidate from Iran this year, so we can neither charge an entrance fee nor award any prize money in case this person enters and/or wins (USA citizens cannot transaction any money with Cuba, Iran, and a few other countries.) All participants will be mentioned in an article appearing in the June 2006 issue of the International Computer Games Association Journal.

The horse is called 'Ma' not 'Mao'
Actually, the Pinyin transliteration of 马 is mǎ, not ma. Although it is not the Pinyin transliteration of the word, the spelling of mao has long been common in fairy chess literature. There are several systems of Chinese transliteration besides Pinyin, and it may have come from one of these.
Hello, I have patented a 4 way chess variant, Quad Kingdom Chess. You can research it at www.quadkingdomchess.com . I would appreciate your response and feedback. Thank you, Jon P. Wearley
u forgot about pawn passon when your opponent fales to capture yur pawn with his own, you may move your pawn diagonnaly behind his,and capture it as ur next move
TO.
Whom so ever Concerned
I have a doubt as;
1. I have a rooke and Queen but my opponent is having only Queen with some Pawns on Both sides. If it is not possible to finish the game within 16 moves, whether the game is DRAWN or Who is Winner?
@. What is 16 move rule?
I hope you will help me in this regard & oblige.
Thanks & Regards
Avinash
There is no such 16 move rule. There is a 50 move rule, however, which says that a pawn must be moved within 50 moves, otherwise the game is declared a draw. --Mats
The 50 move rule is a bit more than what was recently stated regarding pawn movement. The rule makes the game drawn, if the last 50 consecutive moves have been made without the movement of any pawn AND without the capture of any piece (or pawn). Thus,when a piece is captured (or a pawn) the 50 move count must start all over again.
yes, but in chess variants the rules are different for every game. Are u talking about USCF Tournament rules? Typically in friendly games people commonly play that if one player only has a king left u must check-mate him in 25 moves or its a draw.
50 Move Rule - I was reffering to USCF and FIDE rules for standard Chess. There is no 'official' 25-move rule. A player can claim a draw when there is 'insufficient mating material.' When that is the case the game ends at that point, as a draw -- no continued playing for 25 or 50 moves... not even for 1 more move.
I wanted to know, when can a person CANCEL a game. I and another individual started a game of CHESS. Well then he said he wanted more time per move, so asked the moderator of the site, her friend to CANCEL the RATED game. He did saying that he did not legaly move 4 moves, so she could CCANCEL.. How many moves untill Cancelation is possible.. I thought it was four moves total??

I dont understand much about the 'Mad Elephant Chess'. The one thing I dont understand is about taunting the mad elephant. Could it be described better?
can i have nine queen at some perticular time
WHEN YOU ARE IN CHECK ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ATTACK
Yes, but only if you also get out of check at the same time.
Only if you are playing regicide rules in 4-Way Chess
why do u need 9 queens, 4 four queens will cover the whole board. no, u can never have 9 queens.
It is possible to have nine Queens in Chess. I already knew it was legal, and to find out whether it could actually be done, I just played a game against myself with the object of getting nine Queens for White. I got all nine Queens, checkmating Black only when I got the ninth Queen. Of course, this required lots of cooperation between Black and White, and in a normal game where both players are trying to win, it is very unlikely that either player will ever have nine Queens. But however improbable it will be in actual games, it is possible.
I sent an e-mail to the General Contact address (with a link to a Courier preset I made) and I didn't get a response till now. Hos long does it take to submit material for the first time ?
