FairyGen. Generator for end-game tables with fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Great job, H.G.!

Could you do an end game table with the following set of pieces? I plan to use them in an upcoming mod 

pieces from FIDE are K, Q, R, B, N.

Other common Fairy pieces are Cannon from Chinese chess (C), Ferz (F), Wazir (W), non royal King (Mann), or let’s call him Guard (G) and a royal wazir, let’s call him Duke (D).

I plan to have rule saying that a player can have either a King or a Duke but not both. Also, Duke vs Duke is defined as immediate draw not withstanding any stalemate situation. 

It is trivial that Duke with any extra piece beat a lone Duke. A lone King also beats a lone Duke. 

Things get interesting when you have endings such as KR vs DQ, or even DR vs K.

It would be appreciated if you could test the end game scenarios. 

Thanks

Prussia
