Walter Montego: Can you play using two different browsers signed in to two different accounts on one computer to play live? Players would have to manually manage minimizing their window when they finished their turn, but it'd be better than nothing and not too tedious.
coan.net: You can make the same argument that if you capture your opponent's king and get destroyed by the Behemoth that you should win, since the capture takes place first, but that's not the way the rules are either.
Personally, I don't think Behemoth Chess is a good game. I would never chose to play it. I did play it once as part of a tournament with random game selection. I won't play it again. Maybe some casual players like it, but there are far better games to play.
Yes, I understand the way it moved and and the movement rules. I was saying that, 1. f3/h8 is ambiguous because the behemoth can reach H8 by two different routes (and take out different combinations of pieces on the way).
At first, the behemoth moved from its initial D4 square to H8 then right back to D4, but it wrapped around the board on its way there and then came across the board on the way back. Perhaps the notation needs to be adjusted for this?!
In Behemoth Chess, can the behemoth move in opposite directions on consecutive turns? Can the behemoth move in the same direction on consecutive turns?
