In the rules for knightmate chess this is written: following standard castling rules [ ] no square between the knight and the rook may be attacked by an opponent's piece). But this is not standard. The standard rule is that castling is legal if b1 or b8 is attacked. Is this contravened in knightmate chess?

Subjekt: Re: Multi chess tournament August 26th Zaandam the Netherlands
tangram: we had 12 players and 19 variants! Winner was Edwin Poels and hè also won the prize of the best player in western variants. Joint second Fred Kok and Peter Blommers. Peter also won the prize for the best player in eastern variants.
Aganju: IMHO true smothered mate is when the king is totally surrounded by their own army. I call your game a case of semi-smothered mate. Have a breathful day
For chess players: although this is Loop Chess, I think this is the most beautiful mate in 4 I ever played. If you know your chess, you will of course recognize the famous pattern. Starting here: Loop Chess (Aganju vs. Geomomo)

Justaminute: thanks for the quote! it explains it nicely for classic chess indeed! i am trying to find a position in classic chess in which my king would be in check, but i would still be able to capture the king of my oppenent, but i fear that is not possible in classic chess :)
i will pay more attention next time, and try to remember this game :)
Hrqls: Article 3.9 of the Fide rules of chess say:
The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check.
Your movement of the knight would leave your king in check, contravening the rules of chess. Hence I believe Brainking is applying the rules of chess and hence three check chess correctly.
Justaminute: i always understood that in classic check you had to get out of chess otherwise your king would be captured on the next move and you would lose the game anyhow .. the same for a check-mate position .. there is no way to get out of it and win the game, so the game could end right away
in this case i have a way to get out of the check position by winning the game (and thereby preventing any future actions of my opponent) ?
i guess the rules of classic chess are really rules, and not just logical statements :)
Hrqls: The first line says "This game adds one extra rule to the classic chess." It is a rule of classic chess that when in check you have to move out of it. Hence resolving your king's check takes priority over moving the knight.
I can end the game by moving my knight from F2 to H3 ... the site doesn't allow this though as my king is in check (by my opponents queen)
I can't find it in the rules though that I should solve a check position if I can finish a game before my opponent actually manages to capture my king?
The 10 th superchess championship of the netherlands was held on 28th december in Leiden.
David Schelhaas won the tournament with 6,5 out of 7 games. Brainking players who played: tangram 5,5 (2nd) schuli 5,0 (3rd), superbutch 3,0, Karel12 1,0

tangram:surprise winner of 5th superchess freestyle tournament. Robin Wooter "schuli" on brainking won the tournament. Favorite Edwin Poels lost the forst round against Coen Leentvaar "lambik" on brainking and couldnt fill the gap.
Karel12, superbutch and tangram also played in this face-to-face tournament in Zaandam, netherlands but didnt played well.
Or other pièces you woud like (bring them with you). Current topplayer Edwin poels Will also play. And superbutch, schuili, karel123, tangram, lambik Will make thinking difficult for him.
Played on a 8 by 8 or 10 by 10 board.
Players who are familiar with amazone chess,janus chess or capablanca random chess schold have little problems to play. See also www.superchess.nl
