I was going to sort of agree with you but now I can't and your stunt is not appreciated. 16. märts 2005, 14:41:51 Teema: Re: oh right we have no fisherboard yet ... :) BTW as there is no Fischer Random Chess board (yet) discussion of this variant is also welcome here. [Fencer, if you read this, then maybe you could change the description to include it. Could also combine with Fortress Chess too, if you like, as they are all very similar.] 16. märts 2005, 14:44:11 From what I've seen Fencer has no intention of creating a board for Fisher chess. It's more likely that (from what I saw on BK board) he is going to shrink the smaller boards due to the low usage of them. If people want a Fisher Chess board that badly then it can be asked for either on the BK board or on Feature requests. 17. märts 2005, 01:22:30 Teema: ooops :D settings changed ...  ... - and I too think three
boards could go as one fisher/corner/fortress that is ... last not least, avoiding chessfree bubbles,here a cornergame with a pure mate ... ~*~ 17. märts 2005, 07:34:51 Teema: Re: ooops :D danoschek: Thanks ... and ...
You say this is a pure mate ... what do you mean by "pure"? 19. märts 2005, 00:07:33 Teema: Re: Redsales' proposal Nasmichael toimetatud (19. märts 2005, 00:07:53) redsales: " (To WhispersQ): The problem with this game is that it's really a training game to get the players to figure out the moves. It was not intended for FM-IM-GM class players!" Correct. It makes for good discussion between the veteran player (Maharajah) and the novice. It is still an entertaining idea, and more "uneven chess" like this makes for good teaching tools, solved or not. 20. märts 2005, 11:12:53 Teema: All Chess960 startpositions at one page Hi all Chess960 friends,
the Chess Tigers have published a very compact summary consisting of two tables, from which any of the 960 existing starting positions easyly could be derived. It seems as if this page actually is available in German language only. Go to http://www.chesstigers.de/index.php?id=4 (Chess960) an use the link "zu den Startpositionen und Regeln ..." Regards, Reinhard. 20. märts 2005, 17:00:35 Teema: Re: ooops :D WhisperzQ: sorry I meant
'pure pattern' thanks for correcting ... ~*~ 21. märts 2005, 07:00:13 Teema: Re: ooops :D danoschek: wasn't intended to be a correction as the the term "pure pattern" still has me puzzled too ... can you enlighten me? 21. märts 2005, 20:20:04 Teema: Re: ooops :D WhisperzQ: eheh !
hard to explain ... don't you think this single knight unveiling the weakness of joined forces is pure beauty ?  .. ~*~22. märts 2005, 15:09:33 Teema: Re: ooops :D danoschek: I think it is extremely insightful (and incisive) and beautiful too ... just thought it might have been a technical term which I hadn't come across before ... maybe others will have similar games (positions) to share :) 31. märts 2005, 10:46:15 Teema: Some history Just to make some facts straight : the game of Anti Chess, more often called Losing Chess or Suicide Chess, is more than 100 years old, and the rules used here are the standard ones. For some more details, here is an historical research by John Beasley : http://www.pion.ch/Losing/LCLIT3AR.html.
The game has been studied a lot, by hand and by computer. Here is an opening book which should avoid you a lot of early trouble : http://catalin.francu.com/nilatac/book.php. My personal homepage has tons of information too, but available only in French language. 31. märts 2005, 10:47:54 Teema: nabla Hmm, the links below should read without a dot at the end, so http://www.pion.ch/Losing/LCLIT3AR.html and http://catalin.francu.com/nilatac/book.php 1. aprill 2005, 02:33:06 Teema: Re: nabla nabla: If it is okay with you I will add the links to description above then they will always be available for those who are interested without going back through the discussion history ... okay?
Cheers WQ :) 4. aprill 2005, 10:48:49 Teema: suicide chess links are u too interested in suicide chess(aka antichess or vinciperdi)?great!

I have asked him to play at various times and he's turned me down by not responding. Perhaps you should have the tournament games in games that he actually plays on this site?
I know that him and quite a few other regular Chess, Gothic Chess, and Janus Chess players have no problem or would have no problem beating me at those games, but I hold my own against them in Dark Chess. 5. aprill 2005, 12:45:55 Teema: Re: Ed doesn't play Dark Chess Walter Montego: He doesn't play dark chess for the simple reason that he couldn't possibly win every game. 6. aprill 2005, 20:29:59 The reason is easy: there is not a software machine for playing dark chess. 6. aprill 2005, 20:34:32 Teema: Re: Matarilevich: lol. There could be, though it would be a lot more difficult to program well!  6. aprill 2005, 20:45:46 Teema: Re: Ed doesn't play Dark Chess grenv: Ain't that the truth? This fear of losing is making him not try new games. It's a shame in a way. As smart as he is preported to be, we'd really have our hands full if he got good at Dark Chess. There's no way around it though, even if you are good you will lose games. I've lost some to people who were just learning the game. And while you're learning the game, it's a given that you'll take some lumps and lose a few too. Maybe after Alex wins that marathon Chess game between them the burden will be off and he can branch out and try some new things. 8. aprill 2005, 09:26:57 PhatPlaya 臭臭小指 toimetatud (8. aprill 2005, 09:27:15) Unfortunately Mr. Trice refused to play in the tournament. He limits himself to chess variants in which he can win 100% of the time. 11. aprill 2005, 14:34:35 Teema: Re: nabla WhisperzQ: Sure, no problem ! There was also a very fine endgame database server (up to 4 pieces) by Lenny Taelman, but this one went down recently :-( 11. aprill 2005, 20:00:20 Teema: Re: nabla nabla: Yes, I believe it was here. Does anyone know if there is another version around anywhere? 11. aprill 2005, 21:37:26  The website of nabla contains valuable resource for antichess and do not miss his delicious Antichess exercices :-)
http://www.pion.ch/Losing/endex.html 12. aprill 2005, 14:14:14 Teema: Re: I didn't realise this was your site Nabla ... I will add it above with a reference to the "home" page for AntiChess. Unfortunately for me it is in French (I will have to get my daughter to translate LOL). 17. aprill 2005, 09:45:29 Teema: Huge response for the first Chess960 Computer World Championship Hi friends of real chess programming!
In a very interesting article (German language) from the Frankfurt Chess Tigers you can learn that there are already 20 participants. Thus it will be an event huge and relevant for chess programming in August 2005, where the engines will have o calculate from the beginning, not where a huge opening library might end. See article at: http://www.chesstigers.de/ from 2005-04-17. Reinhard. 17. aprill 2005, 11:28:32 Teema: Chess960 positions and rules condensed SMIRF Engine toimetatud (17. aprill 2005, 11:30:06) Hi Chess960 friends,
again I point to the fine PDF document from the Frankfurt Chess Tigers. You can find and download the PDF document (in German language) from the very interesting Chess Tigers' home site at: http://www.chesstigers.de/download.php ( please search there for the link: Chess960 Startpositionen und Regeln ). Regards, Reinhard. 28. aprill 2005, 09:57:31 Teema: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Do you know anybody PGN viewer for replay PGN files from LOOP CHESS ! I try classical PGN viewer, but there cannot replay notation e.g. 13. B@d6 B@e7 ... Thanks 28. aprill 2005, 10:03:34 Teema: Re: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Bruce: Try Winboard http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html or look at freechess.org for other interfaces to the chess server. 28. aprill 2005, 10:23:09 Teema: Re: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Luke Skywalker: It´s OK :-) Thanks 28. aprill 2005, 16:01:51 I vote that Ra5-a5 is a perfectly legitimate Cylinder Chess move. Do we know whether BK allows it ? 28. aprill 2005, 17:07:14 Caissus toimetatud (28. aprill 2005, 17:07:48) Interface "Babaschess" is able to replay crazyhouse/loopchess pgn-games,but you have to change a little bit the pgnformat.
http://www.babaschess.net 28. aprill 2005, 20:28:59 Teema: Re: nabla: It doesn't. I think it's not a nice move either. to me a 'move' has to be with some sort of a change in the board. 28. aprill 2005, 20:49:19 Teema: Re: Re: reza: I agree 29. aprill 2005, 13:08:35 Teema: Ra5-a5 Another reason why this should not be allowed:
A "move" is not the action of a piece travelling, but the action of putting a piece on a free square (or occupied by opponent, but that doesn't apply here). Since a5 is occupied, the R can't move there << < 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 > >> |
