MadMonkey: Well, that would leave you with 9 other double numbers, 8 of them that will disappear pairwise. What will happen if someone lands on the final double number?

AbigailII: hmmmm good point, never thought of that

I just wanted to introduce a reason for getting '00', apart from eliminating it.

How about ideas to create a new version.

Maybe ALL doubles could be Random points OR pick ANY number to delete, and get the points for it.

How about Behemoth Knight Fight. Let him wander about Eliminating numbers he lands on, though that would need more thought as well.

Dark Knight Fight. What points will you get ?

There must be infinite ideas

MadMonkey: it's called Garden of Imagination by D.B Pritchard, the author of the "Encyclopedia of Chess Variants" ... let clone Knight Fight ...!!!

MadMonkey: Dark Knight Fight might be interesting - but not played the way you think.

If you don't know what points you could get - that would make the game a total chance game.... and would become an almost pointless game of getting on and moving.

NOW - how about if you can't see your opponent and can't tell which pieces he has removed UNLESS you have a direct line of sight.

That is lets say you plan ahead and in 2 moves you are going to hit the 89 spot - but first you have to hit the 23 spot to get to the 89. Well you move to 23, so your knight can now see the 89 spot - but opps - that space is already gone since your opponent landed on 98 3 turns ago and you did not know it.

So at the start of the game you see the whole board - but the spaces don't get "updated" unless you can view the space with your knight.

that is how I would make Dark Knight Fight

coan.net: I think Knight Fight is already dark enough. I certainly am not taking the trouble to scan a 10x10 board to match up the number pairs. I just look what move(s) I can play, and which moves my opponent can play, and I assume none of the squares disappear.
