Hey all,



I think the game of Cheversi, as great a game it is, is pretty imbalanced

(White wins 27%, Black 67% as for now: http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=93)

I would even say with reasonable play white is chanceless.



I know rule changes suck after  a game has been established, but the way it is,

this imbalance takes a bit of the fun away from that great game.

So I would suggest the rules to be somewhat changed, maybe along the lines of

black being forced to make his first queen move on the rim of the board,

but I assume even that might still not be enough, hard to say without lots of testing.



So another suggestion I would have with games like Cheversi,

that look like they could be a little off balance, would be to introduce them at first

into some sort of sandbox, where they can be played and fine-tuned accordingly

in unrated and uncounted games until some balance has been found.



Just some thoughts that crossed my mind, maybe they all have been thought through already,

but I didnt want to let them go unmentioned ;)



Have fun all.
