So after playing the game for awhile, does anyone have any tips or suggestions they would like to share about Massacre Chess?
Even though I'm no expert, here is what I try to do:
1. I try to do is take out many if not all of my opponents queens.
2. While doing #1, I will try to use knights or bishops to do that - trying to see if they have limited attack power from previous position and move them to a new position.
3. Check bishop on the long diagonal - if they are mine in the corners, if I can attack to get them out in the middle a little more, I try. If they are my opponents, I will then try to move my pieces from their attack line to make them unusable.
4. After that, I try to move on to the rest of the queens and then rooks & sometimes knights that are more in the middle with more attacking range.
coan.net: I stopped chasing queens ... there is plenty of opportunities to capture them later in the game ... what I am looking for is to save one or two of my own queens from attacks ... and keept them safe for later use ... thanks for your bishop tip ... general tactics should be to move your pieces to the center of the board to maximize their capturing power ... your bishop is an excellent example ...
