24. januari 2007, 10:07:23 Onderwerp: Re: Change the subject AbigailII: Right indeed. I got carried away too much by the idea and forgot that a dice chess endgame is really just a king x king game ... 23. januari 2007, 11:11:06 Onderwerp: Change the subject I'd love to see the * longest * dice chess game here ... what if someone gets into an endgame King+Rook against King ... or even worse K+B+N against K ... what a NIGHTMARE ! :-D 18. januari 2007, 08:45:25 Onderwerp: Dice chess opening Any opening strategy tips ? I usually start with the c-pawn (1.c4), so that the queen gets into the game and other pieces, rooks bishop and the king are still blocked ... 12. januari 2007, 15:23:05 Onderwerp: Re: Shortest Dice Chess game? whirlybabe: LOL, poor xeribolus :-) 11. januari 2007, 15:03:06 Onderwerp: Re: dice chess mangue: Should be 1/2 ... from my experience. Actually, I think the dice are programmed just like the backgammon ones (1/6), they are only re-rolled when a given move is impossible (that said, I hope that in a stalemate position the dice do not "freeze" rolling on and on and on .... :-) 16. februari 2006, 15:59:16 Onderwerp: Re: Extinction chess nabla: I have made it once to the A HREF=" ">http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=750636"> 30th move but only due to a series of blunders as me and my opponent were both rather pathetic players.
The most "endgamish" endgame I have ever seen is probably in this game of my friend Diogenes against Votacommunista. Only I do not quite understand the ending of the game which Diogenes should have won quite obviously. 16. februari 2006, 12:18:43 Onderwerp: Extinction chess Has anybody ever reached some sort of "endgame" in Extinction ? Or what was the longest game you've ever played ? 9. maart 2005, 19:46:34 Onderwerp: Re: BuilderQ: Your idea would unfortunately make it a sure-win for white. Once black's army moves a few lines, the Maharajah sacrifices itself and then attacks the black from behind giving him no chance ... 22. januari 2005, 05:40:47 Serious issue. Is a "move" the act of moving itself or rather a process of changing place ? I would think the second option is more correct.
Anyway, the pgn-reading programs will have a difficult time with that problem, I am afraid :-) 14. januari 2005, 19:32:43 I think the "classical" attack is still a good weapon here, especially when targeted to h7 (h2) because you can use the diagonal f1-g8 (f8-g1) - such as here .
This is obviously true only when the opponent has castled king side - for some reason, all my oponents do. I do not castle at all. 12. januari 2005, 23:02:49 Onderwerp: some more ideas :-) I often use moves like a2-a4 or h2-h4 (for white), even though I am not really sure about their value ... the pawns are taking some squares from the opponents pieces and they can make the edges of the board a bit less trespassable ... but maybe it just makes me look like I am the active player and that's all :-). Is there anyone else doing these movements ? 12. januari 2005, 22:53:58 Onderwerp: some ideas I think that both for white and black the fianchetto opening b3/b6 is very good, because this way they fianchetto the bishop that is on the opposite colour squares from the queen, while the same-coloured bishop can be later used to attack the point h7 (h2) together with the queen (thus this bishop enters the game through the center after e3 (e6)).
Overall, I think the h7 (h2) square becomes a big weakness in cylinder chess, a bit similar to c7 (c2) in standard, for instance. I often attack it with a knight too, after Nh3 followed by Ng5 or Na5. 24. oktober 2004, 01:39:07 Troy: The pawn cannot move because its move would expose your king to the check by the white bishop. These things are often not spotted in cylinder chess :-) 27. september 2004, 19:02:29 It is actually a good strategy for white to try and get "into" the black's position, hoping for a stalemate :-) |
