Hi guys, it's time to create a new, smaller version of KnighFight ... here is a proposal:
1. Game is played on a regular 8x8 board
2. Each player has one knight of different color.
3. Fields are assigned numbers from 1 to 64 ...
4. The first player to play is a white Knight which can be position on any chosen square.
5. The players collect and accumulate points that correspond to the numbers assigned to fields.
6. The second player is Black of course, and than White and so on ...
7. Unlike in Knight Fight players CAN place their Knights on the fields that are under direct attack of the opponent's Knight ...
8. Winner is the player who collects more points when the game is blocked or there are no more fields to jump to...
9. BUT WAIT , there is a new feature ... game can ends also when one of the players will manage to collect 5 consecutive numbers in the course of his/her fight.
10. These numbers do not need to be collected in one swap, nor do they need to be in a special order ...
EXAMPLE: white player collects : 62, 52, 17, 39, 53, 24,
51, 49, 13, 50 .... and that's enough to win since he got numbers 49,50,51,52,53 during his tour ...
EXAMPLE: black player collects 2, 49, 56, 5, 1, 35, 42, 4,
18, 3 and this secures his win since he collected 1,2,3,4,5 .
REMARKS: we have two independent objectives in this game ... one has nothing to do with the other (except for the tactics) and choice belongs to the players ... this new feature successfully eliminates known "problem" from KnighFight namely the ability to block white player by choosing the opposite color of the color white player started ... or at least it loses its power significantly ...
In this game we have to watch constantly what route opponent chooses ... total points or consecutive numbers.
Hope you like this new, refreshing idea to play knight games.
