件名: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
When a new game is created please could it be possible to specify, in addition to a BKR range, a limit on the number of started games that your opponent has running.
I'd like to see Shogi variants here please. I'd also like to see Shogi handicap games implemented, as my enthusiasm for the game far exceeds my ability. I was thinking about the simplest way to introduce handicap games and I wondered if the following would be a possibility: When you create a Shogi game, as well as seeing white and black in the 'Your Color' drop down box, you could also see '1 Piece Handicap', '2 Piece Handicap' etc, up to '8 Piece Handicap'. If you choose one of the handicap game options then a number of settings would automatically apply to the created game: You would have the white pieces, your first move would consist of the removal of the handicap pieces, it would be a 'normal' game, and it would be unrated. Making all handicap games unrated would get around trying to translate the handicaps into a BKR value. I thought this system might let Shogi players explore handicap games on a 'just for fun' basis. After a certain period of time, perhaps a year or two, there might be enough statistical evidence from the logs of games played to assign BKR values to the different handicaps.
