I was wondering, in Atomic Chess, is it possible to take the king, or do you need to cause an explosion which kills the king? 22. Março 2006, 22:49:36 Assunto: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants SMIRF Engine: To say the truth, I had initially also made the same request for 10x8 variants, but I have already received a lot more that could fit into the Encyclopedia. 22. Março 2006, 22:39:52 Assunto: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants WhisperzQ: Thank you for the link! Now it is double clear, that there has been a request for 8x8 variants 22.

Março 2006, 14:09:24 Assunto: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants SMIRF Engine: Link on this board or PM to me. 22. Março 2006, 13:00:52 Assunto: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants nabla: welcome - where? 22. Março 2006, 12:57:15 Assunto: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants Good news for all of you who sent me games for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants : after the sad death of the author David Pritchard, it would have been a real pity that his huge work stayed unfinished, and indeed the task has been taken over by John Beasley.
He is the editor of the Variant Chess magazine and is undoubtly competent enough to continue David's work. The most interesting games might find there place in the magazine as well (on of them, with my annotations, has already been published there). So, good-quality variant games are still welcome ! 21.

http://brainking.com/de/Tournaments?tri=29371 Thank you to all participants, especially to the strong finalists: rabbitoid, Fencer, votacommunista and Chessmaster1000. 16. Fevereiro 2006, 20:37:35 Assunto: Re: Kipling: Don't get me wrong, you had a better position. It's just that 3 times repitition is a draw, there's no agreement required. 16. Fevereiro 2006, 20:32:16 Assunto: Re: Extinction chess Pafl: Well your game is fun, doesn't look "pathetic" at all :-). The other one is stranger, with Black responding to a "check" by putting himself in a double check, and then winning the game !
But none of them really features play with KQRBN v KQRBN. As long as there is another piece on the board, this extra piece has unrestricted attacking possibilities and I would not call the position an endgame. However it is of course just a matter of words. 16. Fevereiro 2006, 19:50:26  I expected more...but I guess I was wrong. 16.

I can't believe that a 1500 Legan rated player can't see this.....
I'm sure he will understand except if he wants to made it in purpose or he has other reasons..... Perhaps he waits for you to gain an established BKR or a high one, as then he would lose less points with the draw....Just guesses.... 16.

Fevereiro 2006, 16:00:18 Assunto: draw by repitition How come this game isn't a draw? There's nothing in the Legan rules about repitition not being counted?
http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=1372225 16. Fevereiro 2006, 16:00:08 uh ... sorry for the link :-) 16. Fevereiro 2006, 15:59:16 Assunto: 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. Fevereiro 2006, 13:40:50 Assunto: Re: Extinction chess Pafl: Good question ! Of course a chess-like endgame is impossible in Extinction, but we could choose to call endgames all positions where both camps have only unique pieces except of pawns (that is, KQRBN v KQRBN). I didn't reach any here yet, but it doesn't seem an unlikely issue at all.
Now, many of the positions just after the last piece trade will probably be either simple forced wins, either dead draws with all pieces having to stay on their posts in order to avoid a breakthrough. Has anyone played an interesting "endgame" here ? 16. Fevereiro 2006, 12:23:52  Thanks i was in bit of a rush and didn't think to add it 16. Fevereiro 2006, 12:18:43 Assunto: Extinction chess Has anybody ever reached some sort of "endgame" in Extinction ? Or what was the longest game you've ever played ? 14.

But can't i use it in the form i gave it....? I mean: Is the: "It's the only reason i can think!" wrong......? 5. Fevereiro 2006, 00:21:54 Assunto: Re: Pythagoras: Reza is just fine. 4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:43:13 I think you miss the fact that the decrease of the vacation days happens at the start of the new day.
That means at the start of the new day i had 15 days and then after 23:59 i had 14. But in that time i guess our game hasn't time out yet. That means every game it times out now and on the whole day from now on, my vacation days will remain 14 since the decrease already happened..... That is a possible explanation that i didn't find from anywhere just from my logic to explain that. So don't take for granted all these..... 4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:36:27 Assunto: Re: Pythagoras: I won't insist, I'm not that interested actually.
I looked when you had 5 minutes to go and you had 14 vacation days. You still have 14 days vacation even after the time ran out. 4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:31:59 Assunto: Re: grenv: How is that possible?
It isn't! You should have missed something....?!?! To lazy, or is such a disussion beneath you? Too lazy..... But if you insist i will have to write it.... 
What is the other reason Reza? BTW can i call you Reza? LOL! I can't call you with this "thing" i see so Reza is good for me  
Just teasing you nothing serious.... 4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:24:40 Assunto: Re: Pythagoras: You should not take this as an evidence of anything. Countless timeouts and too many weakies are the 2 reasons i can think.....OF  4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:24:13 Assunto: Re: Pythagoras: To lazy, or is such a disussion beneath you?
Since you've only played 2 games I'll guess that this is posturing rather than a statement with substance. You timed out against me by the way, but somehow through the silly house rules managed to stay alive without appearing to have lost a vacation day. How is that possible? 4. Fevereiro 2006, 23:17:12 grenv:Legan is a little silly, but I'm not sure why it's any more drawish than chess.
Many reasons but i'm too lazy for an in-depth analysis.....Just play it some times with a good opponent and you will see that you can only draw.... In fact the %age of draws on this site is about the same as the regular game. You should not take this as an evidence of anything. Countless timeouts and too many weakies are the 2 reasons i can think.....  4. Fevereiro 2006, 22:37:53 Assunto: Re: Pythagoras: Legan is a little silly, but I'm not sure why it's any more drawish than chess. In fact the %age of draws on this site is about the same as the regular game. I don't even want to understand why white wins horde more often, but it seems I've drawn the short straw playing black against Fencer. Hmm. 4. Fevereiro 2006, 17:25:25 Well Legan seems a stupid drawish game while Horde of course is an easy white-wins game.....Grand though is a very interesting and good game.....!
Fencer you should extend the repertoire of available games here and modify the current stupid one's such as Maharajah,Horde(well actually this doesn't need a big modification if any, since black has a small chance to win or draw if white playes a bit carelessly).....   4. Fevereiro 2006, 17:03:42 Well, i got 3 games I've never even looked at, Legan, Horde (which seems silly - especially since i'm playing black) and Grand. I didn't get a single game of dark or atomic :(
oh well, more of a challenge I guess. 4. Fevereiro 2006, 14:34:21 Assunto: Re: Random games nabla: Yep, nice game right? LOL!
What books do you have in mind....? LOL! The worse thing when you play Maharajah as white is that you feel like a wanderer in a desert! You are alone and can't do nothing, just wait to die! You just shuffle your piece without any reason and purpose..... 4. Fevereiro 2006, 13:31:47 Assunto: Re: Random games Anencephal: At least I've got White, so I don't have to look into books. Damn, it looks like my opponent already has a draw by Nb8-c6-b8 :-) 4. Fevereiro 2006, 13:12:36 Assunto: Re: Random games Fencer: I take it, there will be a "random" rating? 4. Fevereiro 2006, 12:20:16 Assunto: Re: Random games nabla: I see you got what you didn't hope :-) 4. Fevereiro 2006, 11:20:43 Assunto: Re: Random games grenv: Yes sorry, but it has nothing to do with you. I just play only Backgammon/HyperGammon games right now(the last 5-8 days).....Before a week or so i was playing only Dark Chess and Backgammon. Now i'm in the mood for Backgammon only! But i started building my will for playing again Embasy Chess,Anti-Chess,Chess,Dark Chess so hopefully Monday i will start playing again all these games.....For the other types i'm currently playing(Pahtum,Chess,Chinese Chess,Extinction,Atomic,etc), i will be forced to play them since my vacation days will end.....
Sorry again i did you and all others waiting..... nabla:I hate Knight Relay for no particular reason....! I don't like its rules....  4. Fevereiro 2006, 10:44:15 Assunto: Re: Random games Pythagoras: I also hope that I won't get any Maharajah game. But what is wrong with Knight Relay ? I find it to be a lot of fun. 4. Fevereiro 2006, 02:57:19 Assunto: Re: Random games Pythagoras: Speaking of fearing playing me, I note it has been your turn in both our Dark Chess games for a while.  << < 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 > >> |
