I have only just played a few games of Loop Chess. My first was just a week or so ago, and it seems this game has no end game and a trade is really not a trade. All the pieces seem much more equal. 13. august 2011, 08:25:38 Teema: Re: Analogy of types of war regular Chess to Embassy Chess to Atomic Chess Walter Montego: Given endgames are usually defined as involving reduced number of pieces and the number of pieces in loop chess never reduce, you are right, endgames are impossible in loop chess. I don't think there is much change to pieces values but I do think having the initiative is worth a lot more than in standard chess. Being able to give 4-5 checks on the trot can often lead to a winning position. 15. august 2011, 15:55:54 Teema: Re: Analogy of types of war regular Chess to Embassy Chess to Atomic Chess Justaminute: Or it staves off defeat for a little longer ... it is surprising the number of times a seemingly wanton flurry of check sacrifices, particularly when additional pieces are acquired in the process even if of a lesser status than the piece sacrificed, can end in a victory. For those who are more skilled they might retreat to a mantra that it was all planned but being a more shallow player I am willing to admit that sometimes it is just a happy circumstance. These days i have enough other things in life which require my concentration that chess, of any description, for me is a mere diversion from the rigors of the real world. 16. august 2011, 01:36:06 Teema: Re: Analogy of types of war regular Chess to Embassy Chess to Atomic Chess WhisperzQ: I lost a game in this manner. When it ended I had seven pieces available as he kept checking me, but I couldn't get them into play with each move I made being a forced capture and next thing you know, checkmate. |
