23. September 2005, 06:14:38  I created the tourney, it should be interesting.. 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. July 2005, 09:23:19 Subject: Re: many thanks to redsales chessmec: you weren't too shabby yourself! congrats on playing excellent games! 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! 9. March 2005, 10:07:39 Subject: Re: proposal Chessmaster1000: i mean closer in that it would result for more wins for white. You are right in that it doesn't change the fact that this is a "solved" game. I like the idea of removing the black queen. 6. March 2005, 16:49:11 Subject: Re: proposal WhisperzQ: i totally agree, but at least it would be closer than now! 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! 4. March 2005, 16:32:38 Subject: proposal how about this, Fencer. If white can capture 2 pieces, he wins. It's just ridiculously easy the way it is now. 23. February 2005, 16:29:07 very safe, feel free to experiment with a4, h5 things that are off the wall in regular chess. But at the same time, tried and true openings work as well. 16. January 2005, 12:21:52 looks pretty drawish to me! no sac opportunities left. 16. January 2005, 01:41:33 Subject: occasionally castling, ironically, still has its use as a "suprise move"! 30. December 2004, 08:43:38 you got it, Ramblin. The only possible downside to promotion is by promoting your last pawn, you'd lose the game. I've seen a few cases where selective promotion has won games for people, some to Qs, some to other pieces that were "endangered." Honestly, though, promotion doesn't happen nearly as often as regular chess.
But both of your questions are spot on. 2 kings is no different than 2 queens. 3. November 2004, 15:19:21 i think mate is possible with correct zugzwang..but not sure.. 21. September 2004, 18:21:26 but white can't physically move..! how would that work then? auto pass? :) 21. September 2004, 10:45:18 stalemate is possible, though unlikely. Eg white king on b2, Black king on a2, queen on b1, another queen somewhere. White to move, if white moves to a1 and black moves the other queen to b2, white is stalemated. Black would have to be pretty dense to do that though! 8. August 2004, 16:33:51 Modified by redsales (8. August 2004, 16:34:13) I don't think castling is allowed...but my memory may be fuzzy..I remember that we had this discussion, grenv, because the king is of no particular importance it makes no sense to protect him.. 25. July 2004, 06:00:59 Subject: Ever forward I will try a new impregnable position next black, something like the Roman battle formation turtling around the king...! 25. July 2004, 05:43:26 i thought I had one, Caissus, but i was disabused of that notion :( 10. July 2004, 03:29:55 i think there are impregnable setups in this game, which is actually one of the reasons I prefer starting as black. |
