"Le" Club has the only active Recycle Chess team in a fellowship.
.
If you belong in a fellowship, I would sure appreciate it if you could get a Recycle Chess team going so that we can have another team to play........... :)
I like Recycle Chess. If you do, then join a team in your fellowship, or even better, take on a captainship of a Recycle Chess team. "Le" Club would like to challenge any team in this varient, but there is no one to challenge!
nabla: Maybe we should consider have pawn drops, but only return them to an original pawn starting position (i.e. the 2nd row)... They would be able to be promoted after dropped, of course.
BIG BAD WOLF: True. Well, I just learned something new again. I've been learning as I play with this great variation. Now I have to check to see if I've actually won any Ice games yet.
I'm not sure, but I thought that my black knight at b4, and my black bishop at g2 should have disappeared under the ice after move 20 in this game. Is it because they were touching an enemy piece, and that saves them?
BIG BAD WOLF: Well, you are right on the first point. I didn't quite realize that the ice came after black's move on 60. I thought it was after white's on 60.
I was counting on the ice to freeze on move 60 in this ice chess game... But I am forced to move my king in check right now. It doesn't make sense since I know that the ice will be between the attacking rook and my king on move 60. I shouldn't have to move my king. Well, I could move him to A2. There is nothing in the rules defining this situation. I was counting on the ice, so I should not have to move my king. Responses?
I am trying to make move 21 of an Ice Age Chess game, and it keeps reverting me back to the previous position so that after I move I have to continue trying.... game
Chess64: In the last week I finished 31 games of dice chess, and I have several games still running. It reminds me of Russian Roulette more than anything, with the six-sided die akin to the six chambers of a pistol.
I'd bring out a "a" or "h" pawn up two, so that the rook can get out. Nothing's worse than having 3 or 4 rook die rolls in a row with only one space to move it too.
