<< < 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 > >> 28. oktoober 2004, 13:31:34  Blizzards fellowship has the same request :-D 28. oktoober 2004, 10:55:09  HOME fellowship needs a player for cylinder chess so we can join the team tournement. Just ONE player! There must be someone who wants to join the tournament?! 27. oktoober 2004, 20:13:01 It's good to see the Q+B outside of maha chess. 27. oktoober 2004, 08:06:57 Hell, does it work or not?
http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=4906 65 26. oktoober 2004, 19:37:03 26. oktoober 2004, 18:16:56 Teema: Rook-Ending Caissus toimetatud (26. oktoober 2004, 22:08:36) It is incredible, but this position with the rook/king vs. king ending is draw!
http://brainking.com/game/ShowG ame?g=4 90665 We have to verify all elementary endings! 26. oktoober 2004, 17:27:05 Teema: my first experiences i played some games in amazon chess and at first it seems to be mostly similar to chess (because most of my opponents wanted to exchange the amazons).
but against bratr i played the first game in which i really noticed the power of the amazons - with a funny mate! http://brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=491106 26. oktoober 2004, 16:27:49 Teema: Re: opening book There is a binary openning book for Sjeng engine (about 300Kb). I think it is compiled from a collection of Crazyhouse games played at FICS. 25. oktoober 2004, 14:08:59 Teema: opening book Does someone know where I can find an opening book of loop chess (crazyhouse, Transferschach, or what it is called *;) )?
Thanks! I have not found anything in the web... 24. oktoober 2004, 17:41:23 So it would. Thanks for pointing that out. 24. oktoober 2004, 01:39:07 Troy: The pawn cannot move because its move would expose your king to the check by the white bishop. These things are often not spotted in cylinder chess :-) 24. oktoober 2004, 01:22:44 Teema: Re: Bug in pawn capture I was reading the letters as if I was white. It's my A6 pawn that I want to move, not the H6. Sorry about that. 23. oktoober 2004, 23:25:50 Teema: Re: Bug in pawn capture I don't see any legal move for your h6-pawn. In fact, h5 is occupied, while a5 and g5 are both vacant. This prevents the pawn from moving forward or making a capture. 23. oktoober 2004, 22:59:58 Teema: Bug in pawn capture In this game, http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=482245, my pawn on h6 can't move. All of my other pieces with legal moves are clickable links, but this one is just a non-clickable image. It might be related to the fact that I can capture into the a column with that pawn. 23. oktoober 2004, 13:29:04  a draw can be agreed upon...
doesn't necessarily have to be a stalemate 23. oktoober 2004, 01:38:36 Stalemates must be quite common. According to the games rules page, 10.42 % of games end in draws. Strange in such an unbalanced game... 8. oktoober 2004, 20:32:34 Teema: Re: the shape of pawns In my opinion, the rose border around the board already indicates that this game is quite different from regular chess. Changing the shape of the pawns is not really necessary. 8. oktoober 2004, 20:23:34 Because Berolina Pawns' different movement makes them different pieces which should not be confused with regular pawns. For example, this page shows a Berolina symbol. 8. oktoober 2004, 08:06:36 Teema: pawn promotion when a pawn reaches the other side of the board .. is it allowed to promote it to a pawn again ?
is this allowed with the last pawn on the board ? would you lose if you promote your last pawn to a pawn ? (in theory there might be a short period during the promotion in which you have no pawn left ?) 8. oktoober 2004, 00:56:10 Maybe Berolina Pawns should not look the same as regular pawns? 5. oktoober 2004, 12:22:01 Teema: loop chess tournament Any interrest in loop chess? a tournament will start next monday, provided enough people show up... click here 3. oktoober 2004, 17:18:25  Do you know what would be a more fun "Maharajah" chess game?
Cylinder Maharajah Chess :-) 2. oktoober 2004, 07:24:53 A is Archbishop in Gothic Chess. I think there should be some distinction between them, considering they move differently... 2. oktoober 2004, 07:18:06 How about Z for amazon? 1. oktoober 2004, 17:35:56 Teema: Tournament final  I play final match in the tournament and it's 3 wins match. I started with black ... so this is, teoretically, loss for me. Is there way how to solve this problem? 1. oktoober 2004, 10:40:53 Eeeew, it should be something else. A, maybe? 1. oktoober 2004, 02:04:59 Teema: Amazon is H? Why, in the notation, is an amazon represented by a letter "H"? 28. september 2004, 05:58:29 Whoops - I meant maharajah on B4 :-) 27. september 2004, 21:07:23 "black King on A1
white Majarajah on B3 black to move." This isn't stalemate... White just checkmated black by placing the maharajah at that position. So it's not black's turn: a win as already been accomplished. 27. september 2004, 19:02:29 It is actually a good strategy for white to try and get "into" the black's position, hoping for a stalemate :-) 27. september 2004, 12:29:34 Teema: Re: Chessmaster1000 toimetatud (27. september 2004, 12:31:03) <>It says in the rules: "...the game is finished if the Maharajah or the king is in a checkmate, >one player is in a stalemate, etc."
OK the game is finished but how??? With what result? Your copied text is incomplete and incapable of explaining the compete rules. You should have added: The game is finished WITH THE SAME RESULT AS IN CHESS if the Maharajah or the king is in a checkmate, one player is in a stalemate, etc. 27. september 2004, 06:31:12 It says in the rules: "...the game is finished if the Maharajah or the king is in a checkmate, one player is in a stalemate, etc." 27. september 2004, 06:29:52 Kevin toimetatud (27. september 2004, 06:30:07) sure - black can't move if only two pieces are on the board:
black King on A1 white Majarajah on B3 black to move. 27. september 2004, 04:31:09 Teema: Re: Capture question Pawns in Berolina Chess only capture vertically.
A 2-square diagonal move by one of them the first time it moves cannot be a capture. 27. september 2004, 02:49:54 Teema: Capture question A pawn can go two spaces diagonally on it's first move.
Can it capture a piece doing this? For example if white had a piece on E5, could black take a pawn from G7 to capture the piece on E5? 27. september 2004, 00:37:23 Sorry, thought it was clear. Edited previous message to add "(Maharajah piece)" next to they so hopefully it would be more clear. 27. september 2004, 00:25:51 when you mean they: the black or the white?
If the white can't move I think it's stalemate. So a draw. If the black can't move... can this even happen? 26. september 2004, 23:19:39 coan.net toimetatud (27. september 2004, 00:33:53) Quick question - if I DO NOT put the Maharajah piece into check, and they (Maharajah piece) DOES NOT have any valid moves - is it a win for me, or a draw?
*Edited to add "Maharajah piece" next to they 26. september 2004, 14:14:19 White deserves a draw for stupidity on the part of black LOL 23. september 2004, 02:43:11  wanna try in an unrated game? :) << < 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 > >> |
