Subject: Cheversi Strategy

Here's a thought...

Black's advantage is great, but White has plenty of chance to win, if he plays one of his Knights last, isn't it? Black should play nezt to that Knight that cannot drain points for played rooks...

joshi tm: I actually think it's the White who has some sort of advantage in Cheversi.

ChessVariant: Cheversi did have different rules when it first came out - and was VERY unbalanced. (leading stats to lean one way) - the rule changed happened awhile back. I'm not sure exactly how the stats are once the rules were changed.

It would be interesting to know though. Not sure if that is something Fencer can look up or not.

coan.net: I think it didn't changed a lot .... for unexperienced players Black still has an advantage ... there is one or two tricks you have to discover to play well with White ... and this is the reason Pedro Martinez is talking about it ...
