Emne: Re: Dice Chess

MadMonkey: It's not necessary, to have a more-than-6-sided die, but, I think, it would be a good idea, to have the probabilities weighted this way. That means, it would be 8 times more probable to roll a "1" than a "6", and 2 times more probable to roll a "2", "3" or "4" than "5" or "6". What do you think?

Another question according this game: Is it possible to castle or to capture en passant, if the die and the usual chess rules allow it?

danheg: It would be cool, even odds, but that would be whole other gamplay.

Emne: Re: Dice Chess

MadMonkey: Ah, I see. The code is generated only in 1-6 range.

Fencer: Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Marvel superheroes, and etc. use 4 sided, 10 sided , 20 sided, percentile dice, and etc. It wouldn't be impossible.

Emne: Re: Dice Chess

MadMonkey: But then you would have a 16 sided dice. Could be cool for a variant of course, but not to replace the rules, cause these are fine this way.

Fencer: It can, BUT a computer can pick and Random number between 2 points, as in 1 & 16 at the start of a game.

If it picked a number between :
1 and 8 = 1 Pawn
out of 9 & 10 = 2 Knight
out of 11 & 12 = 3 Bishop
out of 13 & 14 = 4 Rook
a 15 = 5 Queen
or 16 = 6 King

In other words your chances of moving a pawn are greatly increased at the start, and most the way through the game. It would make for a totaly different game. I thought the 1 to 6 way was the way it was happening

But then if you did it that way, could not really be called Dice Chess, but could be another version (Dice Chess 2), at least the maths percentage would be right LOL

Emne: Re: Dice Chess

MadMonkey: How can a normal die show other number than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?

13. januar 2007, 23:25:49

Emne: Dice Chess

Fencer: Just a interesting question i thought. In Dice Chess, does the code generate a random number when picking which piece to move either:

Between 1 and 6

Or

Between 1 and 16 (or all possible pieces available to a player)

Could you please reset two of my Dice Chess games against Snoopy where I lost? Can you reset them so I win?

I hate losing.

I love that game!

Emne: Re:

BIG BAD WOLF: isnt a knight placed in a corner worth 14 points?

11. januar 2007, 15:24:28

Emne: Re:

Fencer: Thankyou

I love the game, not as much as Dice Chess, now thats addictive

11. januar 2007, 15:22:00

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: It was started a while after midnight where some final bugfixing was made. The move has been cancelled.

11. januar 2007, 15:17:12

Emne: Re:

Fencer: My game 2203836 was.
My opponent started with a Knight (not a king), now its forcing me to play my Queen, thats not what the rules say. Thats why i would like it restarted.

11. januar 2007, 15:14:57

Emne: Re:

Czuch Czuckers: No games started by old rules are switched mid stream.

11. januar 2007, 15:13:37

coan.net

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: what is the difference if your opponenet uses the king or knight first? both give 8 points, and both you can't block any of those 8 points - so no matter if white started with king or knight, it should be the same or very close to the same.

As a side note, I've played with the king-queen rule in 3 test games, and I was still able to win all 3 games as black. (just a lot closer) Of course there are a few other rules on how spaces are counted that was not in place at that time.

11. januar 2007, 14:31:07

Emne: Re:

"Snoopy": Its even worse when a game starts by old rules, then switches mid stream... fencer will probabl6y have to delete the whole tournament?

11. januar 2007, 14:26:38

Fencer: Could you just restart the game for me please so we are both using the same rules

11. januar 2007, 14:24:09

Czuch Czuckers: you cant delete tournament games
and as far as i can see half the games in the tournament will be played by the old rules and the rest with the new ones!!!!

11. januar 2007, 14:22:04

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Just delete the game! The rules should have only effected new games started after the 11th, some bug, I guess.

11. januar 2007, 14:20:58

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: Of course it is, Blacks Queen will now get blocked in, hence the idea of taking away Blacks advantage, now WQhite has a major one. I would not mind if White had been forced to use the King first like the Rules state, but i dont think changing game rules during a game is right.

11. januar 2007, 14:17:28

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Yes, that is right...even though I don't think the advantage of the white is that major...if any at all...

11. januar 2007, 14:15:57

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: So the game started using old rules, and now uses new rules.

Is that right ? Certainly not fair, so now white has major advantage

11. januar 2007, 14:11:00

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Yes, I know...this rule took effect on the 11th of January...read this:

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: But my opponent had not placed a White King, he put a Knight.

11. januar 2007, 14:05:10

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Rules: "In order to eliminate an advantage of black player, a game must be started by placing a white king, followed by placing a black queen."

11. januar 2007, 14:03:24

Fencer: Why in my Cheversi game 2203836 will it only let me place the Queen on the board and nothing else ?

Jason: Yesterday for about 1/2 hour, and today off and on for less then 10 minutes at a time, connection problems - all other sites work well.

Don't think it is a BrainKing issue, but a connection issue (since I could not also connect to brainking.info, which is on a different server if I remember correctly.)
