Since you are using custom 'Apothecary' sets, and I doubt other games are using these sets, they can be altered.  Do you want to keep the notation the same?  ('A' becomes bird)  Or do you want to add a Dragon as 'D'?

I'd prefer the Dragon with a "D".

Ok, I have added D and left the A so older games will still view correctly.  If you are going to change the notation, remeber to change the name of the settings so that you don't break older game logs.

Thank you, Greg!

@Oisin D.

I need a moment with no ongoing games so that I can change the pieces from Griffin and Aanca to Dragon and Griffin, so please temporarilly delete your pending invitation.

You need to use a new Settings name so old games don't break.  But if you do that, the pending invite is ok.

@ Greg,

I prefer to keep the name  and maybe rename the settings files used for old games. Can it be done?

You can keep the name of the game, but the settings name will need to change.  I don't know how to change the settings name for existing logs.

I should use redirect then on the old settings file toward the new one, isn't it?

@HG, Hello, The interactive diagram on this page puts in the initial position an extra black joker outside of those defined. Why is this happening?

I have played this game against the interactive diagram's AI. It takes less time that an game courier match and I wanted to see how the games feel after the final changes I have made. The game seems to be very tactical now with many strong pieces quickly engaging . I'm really unsure about how good the game is. It's learning curve is quite steep but maybe once properly learned it is fun. I was hoping that more experienced player will take a look and try to play against the interactive diagram until the endgame (me I always blunder something before the endgame).

I have switched the places of sangoma and wizard in the opening position in order to give more opening opportunities.

I have tried this week to add a compound piece. Unfortunately this proved to make the game worse as more opening moves were forced. So I reverted to an earlier version while keeping the idea that black has more pieces on the non-king side. This will be the final apothecary chess-modern game. I'm satisfied with the game.

The interactive diagrams on this page have stopped working. Any idea why?

Fixed!

I had made a small change, to also look for castling partners of non-royal pieces that can castle, but that made it chocke on blacked-out squares, when it tried to figure out what move these had.

Thanks!

But they still are not showed, HG!

Flush your browser cache, or you will keep using the old version of the Diagra script. It works for me.

@Hg, You were correct. Now it works for me too. Curiously though that my other apothecary game worked fine!

The diagrams on this and the Apothecary Chess-Classic page are missing white's brouhaha squares, and so are both corresponding game courier presets.

To me they look normal!

Now I see what you mean. I don't think it is something I have done!

@Fergus Have you any idea about what is going on!
