Checkmating Applet. Practice your checkmating skill with fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think the given move of the Deva here is incorrect, though it could be the Maka Dai Dai Shogi page that's wrong.
Ultimajor. Ultima like game where each pieces are capable of checkmate with only their own King for support. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
Cavalry Chess. A once popular variant from the 1920's where every piece has additional jumping moves. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The kings can jump in the diagram, which seems to be a bug.
Kings can't jump in my Interactive Diagram.

What program do you use to make those SVG graphics of yours?
I use Tinkercad for the basic generation, and Inkscape to make them site-compliant.
I can list off the specification numbers, if you need them.
(This reminds me: I still need to upload a small batch of new ones that I made just before my desktop 'puter went silent....)
The Forward FIDEs. A team for Chess with Different Armies where pieces can advancer easier than retreat.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H. G. Muller wrote on Fri, Aug 9, 2024 09:51 AM UTC in reply to HaruN Y from Thu Aug 8 04:07 PM:I don't see any justification for calling this army 'FIDEs'. It doesn't use any FIDE pieces (except of course for the obligatory King and Pawns); and that the pieces have moves limited do slides, Knight leaps or King steps is true for many other armies as well. You could consider 'Forward Fighters' if you want to keep the alliteration, but in fact the qualification 'forward' is also a bit dubious; the Nutty Knights are more 'forwards' than this army.
Done.

Thanks. I was thinking about making some Chu Shogi SVGs.

Shouldn't be too important unless you are using features that are known to be deprecated.
中象棋(Middle Xiangqi). Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]A. M. DeWitt wrote on Sat, Aug 10, 2024 03:14 AM UTC in reply to Daphne Snowmoon from Thu Aug 1 09:27 PM:Such improvements aren't necessary now that it is published, unless another Editor decides to un-publish it (though we do try to avoid having to do that) or you feel that they need to be made.
Also, just so you know, you can put an Interactive Diagram directly into the page if you set the Format field at the top of the Edit this Page form to "HTML," but that does require you to keep the page in HTML in order to not lose the diagram to the text editors' formatting. Or if you don't feel like doing that, a link to a Comment with the appropriate diagram works too.
Canyon Skirmish by Νεάπολι, AKA Neapoli_platy
Cool)
Superpower Chess
Random Superpower Chess
Indeed. Although it, along with Minor Trouble, & Vanisureum somehow weren't cool enough to won the contest they were submitted to.
Should I create an Interactive Diagram for the winner of that contest?
I have some svg (mnemonic or jocly style). If you need, I can share.
Chess with Different Armies. Betza's classic variant where white and black play with different sets of pieces. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]A. M. DeWitt wrote on Sat, Aug 10, 2024 03:31 PM UTC in reply to François Houdebert from 11:23 AM:

A sample would be interesting to see. Maybe we could even include a Jocly graphics directory.
For now though, I'm taking a break from inventing Chess variants to work on some other things and myself. I'm currently finishing up my Chu Shogi Applet with Assorted Tsumeshogis by adding in the remaining workable tsumeshogis from H. G. Muller's MSM Errata (only one left is D63). It's kind of a prelude to a stand-alone program I plan on making that allows you to play Chu Shogi.
I'll still be around to review submissions from time to time.

Hexagonal Arimaa. Hexagonal Arimaa - Based on McCooey's Hexagonal Chess.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Why have three cats instead of sticking with the original material?

Someone might have downloaded it.
here is a one week link : http://biscandine.fr/echange/f.php?h=39JMHvYp&d=1
Send an email if you need more information because it's not yet mature enough to be shared more widely
