Does anyone know the answer to my previous question: Does Fairy Stockfish support bent riders?
You can do a Range 3 Aanca since FSF supports Mao and Sang but that's about it.
Kjempe Chess. A large variant that hopefully is easy to get into. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I thought about your advice. I don't think the game is drawish as is, due to a big board with more possibilities compared to Chess, and quickpawns being comparatively easy to promote. I don't have any statistics to back this up, though.
But having more pieces realistically able to participate in an attack is fun, and I just changed the moves of the Kjempe and Custodian for this very reason.
Your suggestion for the Woodlander (Knight + vertical rook) would make it another 5+ value piece (actually a bit stronger according to the diagram's evaluation), which I think the players would often save for the endgame (which admittedly would be great fun), instead of coming to use in the midgame, when I think knight-y moves make the most sense on a large board. So I'm currently looking into some alternatives which would make the woodlander a more offense-oriented piece, but still keep it in the 4-value range where it is supposedly exchangable for a Bishop or an Avian: NsW, NvW, NfR ("lancer"), NfR3, etc. Another option on the table is to make the Woodlander promotable. This will take a while for me to playtest and come to some conclusions.

On what device, browser, and browser version does it look like that? And is the problem just with this page?

I got the same thing in Chrome and Safari on my iPad, but it should be fixed now. When I was developing dark mode, I used this page as my test page, and I neglected to remove the CSS code for dark mode from this page after I had gotten things working for the whole site. I have now deleted that code and purged this page from the cache. I cleared my browser cache on Chrome for my iPad, and the body text now shows up in a dark color for light and print modes.

Leaperhouse. A 10x10 drop variant consisting of only Leapers, Shogi pawns and Kings. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]============= @ Mr. H.G. Muller Respected H.G. Muller, how to express a piece that can capture
other pieces, but [[[[ Not foe king ]]] ? This helps a lot in new piece composation.
__ btw, kD is to capture foe king only. ___ How to express the
reverse way, i.e., Not able to capture foe king?
Thanks so much for your help.
sincerely, adella....
You can see my Paramount Parafigures.

Th k modifier inverts the power to deliver check compared to what the piece would otherwise have.
It does not matter that the leapers don't promote because pieces are never taken out of the game forever, they all return via drops. The stronger player always has enough pieces to checkmate.
On the pieces: You are free to name the pieces whatever you want, but for the convenience of CV enthusiasts I suggest the addition of the following things:
Ox: It is also known as Alibaba (Alfil-Dabbaba compound piece)
Courtier: It is also known as Zebra, a piece with a long history in Chess.
It also suggest adding Betza notations for all the pieces. It is
Ox (Betza notation AD)
Camel (Betza notation L or C)
Courtier (Betza notation J or Z)
Ram (Betza notation HG)
P.S. I am not aware of other games featuring the Ram. Cazaux's Troll comes close, but it has additionally a pawn move.
Recognized Chess Variant: Avalanche Chess. This game is a Recognized Chess Variant.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]While going to a random page, I came across this page, which is just a stub for a recognized Chess variant with a link to the page actually on the game. There is a whole directory of these page at /r/, and I don't imagine they serve any real purpose. So I propose to get rid of them.

Lines of Relay (LoR). Chess variant featuring a new type of morphing piece, the Lore apprentice, on a standard board together with the standard pieces. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]ALoR960
ALoR is the same as LoR but Lore Apprentice only get the moves from friendly ones.
The game with ALoR has a completely different dynamic than the original Lines of Relay. A local material advantage on one side creates aggressive tactical potential and the game can be over very quickly.
I designed the original LoR to be balanced: Moving a Queen to the file h would mobilise both Lore Apprentices, not only the own one.

There are already Betza notations in the notes.
