WhisperzQ: sorry, I don't know. the table in the link only states the expected result, not the means to achieve it. 6. June 2005, 13:02:24 These traps are obvious even for an idiot-inexperienced player so if we have a KRK Anti-Chess endgame it's toooooo easy to avoid them for both sides and have a draw......... 6. June 2005, 14:57:18 Subject: Re: Chessmaster1000: That's a little arrogant, I think many inexperienced players playing the KR would lose to the king, especially if they thought they could win. For instance the method a rook beats a king one on one may be tried, and this would lose. 6. June 2005, 19:22:16  You remind me of Trice, Mr. Tsavdaris... 6.

BTW Pedro, why don't you resign this game with me and only play it with the slowest possible tempo?

On the other hand, the question was asked, and then apparently we were told an idiot would know, so a fair comment.  6.

Fungame: There is nothing idiotic if someone is not master in some game, neither the opposite, if someone is able to play some games at higher level. And tell me where i have written such a thing.....? 
And Pedro Martínez: you also remind me someone called Martinez from Gothic Chess board with some statements that i didn't agree at all. I don't remember the name.......

Calling those people stupid will not win you any friends. 6. June 2005, 22:23:43 Subject: Re: grenv: I think Chessmaster1000 means "unexperienced" instead of "stupid". I suppose this was a translation problem.
In general: We, who do not have English as native language, have something problems choosing the right word. WalterMontego, isn't it? 6. June 2005, 22:27:16 Subject: Re: chessmec: So in what language are stupid and inexperienced synonyms?
Also it is absolutely incorrect that an inexperienced player would see the strategy espoused here easily, certainly a stupid person would have no hope. 6. June 2005, 22:38:23 Subject: Re: grenv: So in what language are stupid and inexperienced synonyms?
Please, read my posting carefully till the end, and in a context-sensitive way, please. 8. June 2005, 23:05:36 I hope the choice of this word was because of an unexperienced english speaker :) 9.

June 2005, 13:59:45 Hey all,
Due to teh current bug in Dark Chess games players can see what moves their opponents have made. redsales named it 'grey chess' which I think is a good addition to the site!!! What's more, based on that, I have a new game type in my mind named red chess. When a piece is captured, its blood will split on some squares of the board randomly and both players for a few moves will not be able to see those squares and therefore, they'll have a good chnace to move their pieces in REDNESS. I'll have to work on details more of course! What do you all think? Is it possible to play such a game? I think it'll be an interesting variant. 23. June 2005, 14:07:41 Nice.............!
Is it possible to play such a game? He,he, why not.........? 23. June 2005, 14:08:35 lol They did have a chess game like that out ages ago. It was called "Battle Chess". I think they even did a Chineses Chess version of it :) 23. June 2005, 17:24:53 Subject: Re: grenv: Fencer has corrected it. A few hours ago, any of your opponents may have seen all your moves. Fencer has switched everything back. 23. June 2005, 17:26:24 Subject: Re: Jules: Really? didn't know that. Still, I think it'll be a nice game. 23. June 2005, 17:46:52 Subject: Re: Chessmaster1000: So you think it's a well balanced game, huh? I think it is. 23. June 2005, 18:04:07  but in battle chess, you could see the squares, reza is proposing that the blood obscure the squares as in dark. Could make for some high level timing strats.
THe problem with grey chess is that you can just play over the game based on the move list, so that it becomes regular chess! 23. June 2005, 19:18:11 Subject: Re: reza: When I win the Lotto *cough* I'll give Fencer the money to buy the server to run it on this site :) 24. June 2005, 07:44:44 Subject: Re: redsales: I would probably say that in grey chess, not all the moves should be shown to the opponent. For example every three moves or every five moves. Now I think it'll be interesting. 30. June 2005, 21:28:39 Subject: thai chess anyone seen that variation ?
all pawns are one step ahead in start position - saw an article in the eurpa rochade magazine. ~*~ 1. July 2005, 22:05:09 Subject: Re: thai chess Fencer: yes - that's how it's called
on chess variants dot com - just checked ... ~*~ 25. July 2005, 06:27:05 Subject: many thanks to redsales many thanks to redsales for this two amazing fischer chess games:
http://brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=806880 http://brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=806881 Although they were drawn the games were a really great struggle. Thanks! 25. July 2005, 09:23:19 Subject: Re: many thanks to redsales chessmec: you weren't too shabby yourself! congrats on playing excellent games! 25. July 2005, 09:32:43 Subject: Re: many thanks to redsales redsales: thanks (turning red)
I think whe had both our chances in both games ... and did not realized them. so the draws were fairly ... oh, if we would have played this games in real life ... they would be my most greatest tournament games. 28. July 2005, 06:01:28 Subject: Berolina Chess I have four games in the "Waiting games" section if anyone would like to play a game or two. 2 game time limit with vacations and weekends still happening. 2. August 2005, 12:40:57 Subject: atomic king! 8. August 2005, 19:25:10 22. August 2005, 18:19:58 Subject: R in after move in Knight Relay Chess. I notice that if you move non-knight with a knight like move, a 'R' is put after the move. I wonder what the 'R' stands for. 22. August 2005, 18:44:07 Subject: Re: R in after move in Knight Relay Chess. AbigailII: I suspect "Relay" 22. August 2005, 19:28:34 Subject: Re: R in after move in Knight Relay Chess.  AbigailII: That means a move relayed by a knight. 24. August 2005, 21:35:40 Subject: "atomic chess pro" an idea: to make atomic chess a little bit more well balanced it would be helpful to place three pawns (white: e3-f3-g3; black: e6-f6-g6) to secure the weak points f2/f7.
is my idea of "atomic chess pro" silly or not? what do you think? 24. August 2005, 21:51:02 Subject: Re: "atomic chess pro" chessmec: I used to think it was a little unbalanced as well, but recent games against reaally good players (here and on other sites) has shown me otherwise. 24. August 2005, 21:53:21 Subject: Re: "atomic chess pro" grenv: i did not say that atomic chess is unbalance ... my suggestion has the intention to make it more well balanced.
and in my opinion: witn the more pawns it would be easier for beginners 24. August 2005, 22:11:22 Subject: Re: "atomic chess pro" chessmec: Ok, but you wouldn't want to do that unless you thought it was at least a little unbalanced. I was trying to say that it is extremely well balanced as it is when played well.
Actually to get rid of all the opening theory, which is what makes it unbalanced if anything, I think it would be good to have fischer Random Atomic Chess. 24. August 2005, 23:59:51 chessmec: is my idea of "atomic chess pro" silly or not? what do you think?
No, it's not silly but "Atomic-Pro" would not be so good game as Atomic Chess......It would be much slower....... grenv: I was trying to say that it is extremely well balanced as it is when played well. With a first thought Atomic Chess seems a game that white has a confortable advantage..... Yet, with a more deep analysis it seems that black is not in a so bad shape at all and that actually chances for both white-black are even........ But finally with an even deeper analysis, there is one opening line that leads to a VERY VERY difficult position for black to defend. Until now i haven't found any defense for black and all variation loses (i will not give the line yet) but i'm trying...... 25. August 2005, 08:22:54 Subject: Re: "atomic chess pro" grenv: i totally agree with the Random Atomic Chess (RAC) proposal...it is too easily memorized as it is, moreso than chess, since many more moves are forced or virtually forced. Suicide Chess could use a shot in the arm here too. 25. August 2005, 10:12:44 I also agree with Random Atomic Chess and Random Suicide Chess, the games as they are suffer a bit from a narrow non-losing path in the opening. But how to generate random position which will not be forced wins for White ? << < 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 > >> |
