Subiectul: RE:
I agree with Uil. It shouldn't be change. It would be like changing the regular chess into non-classic. Players need to play it right and have pride in it, not take it the easy way out. I don't think history of this game should be change for the sake of it.

to Fencer: please don't, it makes it a totally other game and i don't think it will help. I am unbeaten playing white, so it is possible (with a little help from black), but it stays a "black-game"

I can try to add some white pawns, will that make it more balanced?

to Charles: with a three check variation i think white doesn't have any chance. It is easy for black to avoid checks

What do you mean "frozen"? You are in check, you must move your king or queen.

24. Ianuarie 2003, 18:39:08

It is a classic stalemate position. If it is acceptable in normal chess, why not here?

Making moves that reveal the board is as important as a good chess position. Pawns are very important because of their ability to see a lot of the board when properly placed. Knights are great in forward positions to reveal the enemy defenses. Good luck everyone.

my game with user "timetrex" seems to have frozen.
can anything be done to 'un-freeeze' it?

I can't see the Black pawns very well on the Brown Squares! It there anyway that I can change the board color or put a bit of white in the black pawns.

Sure, but thats the challenge! Before you took his next-to-last pawn you should have made sure he had at least one square left to move to!

by the way. any plans for an ANTI-Horde Chess? i think it would be pretty cool!

Subiectul: Re:
i understand that. but what i was saying was that my pieces dominated the board. i had the oportunity to take his last pawn and was unable as his pawn could not move and it was declared a draw.

pdj... read server news on your front page, the rules have changed slightly so that white has to take EVERY black piece to win.
If black has one piece left but is unable to move because you are blocking him then its like stalemate and declared a draw.
It makes things a bit more even for both players!

Subiectul: Re: This may sound stupid...
(reply to Uil) If that is the case, maybe throw in the three check variation as well.

Subiectul: Draw
I was playing my friend (user checkm8) and i was, for want of a better phrase 'whoopin' his ass'. he was left with one pawn while i still has my queen, 2rooks, a knight and a pawn. i has his pawn stuck between my rook and my pawn so he could not move and the game was declared a draw. is this correct. because by my standing i thought it was fairly obvious that i has won.
thanx

A loop variation makes ir a bit more balanced, but with a good black opponent white will NEVER take a piece

That could even things up a bit for the black player. It would certainly make it more difficult for the white player!

Subiectul: RULES - stalemate
I have played this games on other sites, and always been awarded a draw when playing black, and all my pawns blocked from moving.
However, I was shocked that the rules on this site state a loss for this situation. This is what happened in my game against Swoosh, and it cost me my number 1 ranking!
I propose that the rules be changed so that it is a DRAW if black still has one or more pawns left and cannot move.

An indicator indicating how many times one has been in check by the player's name and captured pieces would be a nice feature.

A loop variation.!!! That seems like a pretty decent idea actually. :)

Subiectul: This may sound stupid...
But I have an idea to make this game more evenly balanced. When white takes a piece, allow him/her to place that piece back on the board anywhere as a white piece instead of a black piece. Perhaps it could be offered as a different variation altogether, like Loop Maharajah Chess. Then again, the designer of this site maybe a bit busy right now to do such a thing, or it just not might be that great of an idea. Regardless, I do enjoy this site and am grateful to have an opportunity to voice an opinion. Take care.

Subiectul: Re: stale mate
The game rules state:

Anti Chess
This rules of this game are the same as for normal Chess (starting position and piece movement) with the following differences:

-There is no check or checkmate.
-Who loses all pieces including the king or cannot make a legal move, wins the game.
-Capturing of the opponent's pieces is mandatory. The player can make a move only with a piece that can capture an opponent's piece, and he/she must capture this piece. Only if the player cannot capture any opponent piece, he/she can make a move with any piece.

Subiectul: stale mate
when you or your opponent can not move a piece is that a draw (stale mate)?

Yes, it is promoted. And it is hidden in this line of the rules:
The rules are the same as for normal chess with these differences: [and the list of extra horde chess features]

If a white pawn makes it to the other side (like THATS gonna happen!!) is it promoted as in normal chess? I'm sure it would be, but I cant see anything about it in the rules.

not clear from the rules: what happens if no black pawn can move? is it a draw, like stalemate?

I'd just like to give a public CONGRATULATIONS to rabbitoid, possibly the first player here to win Maharajah playing WHITE?
And yes, it was me he beat!! Nice one rabbitoid, I didn't think it could be done but you proved me wrong!!!
