Teachme2play: sure , I do understand your point ...sure, my "variants" use chess pieces but this is probably the only common thing with regular chess ... it's true for games  implemented so far ... I am only sharing my ideas with you and if you like it, and want to try it, that's fine ... if not, forget it ... believe me, I am BORED with regular chess and only slightly modified rules ... I don't even play (or enjoy) supposedly revolutionary Fischer Random ...
Chess variants are my hobby and I wouldn't take your time and space on this board to tell you about "new" variant because I want my bishop to move like ... a rook ... this is not in my arsenal ... the whole board setup and rules have to depart from traditional chess greatly ... and they are NOT chess at all as much as halma is no diceless variant of backgammon ...

In my opinion ,  games created by me have unusual features and they may attract many players ..
But, everything is in Fencer's hands ...
Cheers,
Andy.

ChessVariant: Believe me or not, I have nothing against adding new chess variants, even if they differ at bishop movement. It's just that, errrr, before adding a request for a game one should think twice before doing so. The game should be really innovating, bringing some serious 'freshness' to brainking. There's a trap, which you might one day fall into, that a game seems to be a perfect idea, at first lot of people attend it, but it ends up on the bottom of the mentioned list. So I'm not tring to keep your creativity down, my friend.
Fencer: I'm not a game creator. As you remember, (maybe you still have my e-mail) I told you once about line4 played with two pieces a turn. I know, from my own expieriences, (I played 200-300 real-time games of it) that it's unlike any other line game here. But it's just a suggestion. I've asked some line4 players, and some of them told me they'd be interested, and some didn't.

Teachme2play:I am fully aware of what you are trying to tell me ...so far, my 2 games, Knight Fight and Massacre Chess enjoy being in the top 20 games at brainking ... this is a success for me and it brings happiness for the players ... Cheversi (my first game here) is still around 70th place which is a little below half point on the list ... Cheversi was remade two times and still requires some make-ups ... I have some ideas but don't want to make Fencer angry ... there are more important things to do ... I would like to hear from you what is your definition of a game being innovative ? Did you read the rules for Chessman Race I posted few days ago ? If this is not innovative that I don't know what it might be (we are still talking about chess variants not any abstract game in general) ... or the latest game called Crash Chess where players choose their pieces based in the position of a king and placement of other pieces they do not see ... they are very far away from the traditional chess, Crash Chess being a very aggressive variant and Chessmen Race emulating backgammon and not being chess variant at all ...
ok, your turn ....
cheers
Andy.

ChessVariant: Congratulations on those two games.
Innovative? I'd say something new, unseen. (yes, yes, you might say every rule change creates a "new" game) This time, I am fully aware that it's hard to find something both original and attractive in chess, so God bless you for your ideas that turned out to be big successes.
If you're that good in developing games, why don't you add ideas for games of other types, or maybe come up with a new "family" of games. Anyway, if you carry on providing us with chess variants, Fencer will be forced to rename this site into ChessKing. :)

Teachme2play thanks God he is not  not allowing anybody to force anything on him (look at PayPal story and many more) ... I actually proposed to split brainking into  Brainchess and Brainking , lol (read my previous posts) ... and it was also my idea to pay Fencer a fee for implementing new, original games ...
WHY NOT ?

There are family of games I would like to see here playing:

1. Soiltaire games (no cards solitaires but one player board games)
2. Card games like poker 5x5 solitaire, cribbage tabletop solitaire and any card game where all the cards in opponent's hand are known (check David Parlett's site for ideas)
3. Domino games with all the tiles known (I created some and one of them Open Domino was proposed here).
As far as new family of games I would have to go out of the box of our thinking ... and this project is probably the hardest to materialize  ...
And lastly, do not fear and thank God we can actually talk to the owner (Fencer) ... on other sites it's like talking to answering machines (most of the time they are turned off anyway) ...
Cheers,
Andy.

Teachme2play: And what do you suggest to add instead?
