HOME fellowship needs a player for cylinder chess so we can join the team tournement. Just ONE player! There must be someone who wants to join the tournament?!
i played some games in amazon chess and at first it seems to be mostly similar to chess (because most of my opponents wanted to exchange the amazons).
but against bratr i played the first game in which i really noticed the power of the amazons - with a funny mate! http://brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=491106
Troy: The pawn cannot move because its move would expose your king to the check by the white bishop. These things are often not spotted in cylinder chess :-)
I don't see any legal move for your h6-pawn. In fact, h5 is occupied, while a5 and g5 are both vacant. This prevents the pawn from moving forward or making a capture.
In this game, http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=482245, my pawn on h6 can't move. All of my other pieces with legal moves are clickable links, but this one is just a non-clickable image. It might be related to the fact that I can capture into the a column with that pawn.
In my opinion, the rose border around the board already indicates that this game is quite different from regular chess. Changing the shape of the pawns is not really necessary.
Because Berolina Pawns' different movement makes them different pieces which should not be confused with regular pawns. For example, this page shows a Berolina symbol.
when a pawn reaches the other side of the board .. is it allowed to promote it to a pawn again ?
is this allowed with the last pawn on the board ?
would you lose if you promote your last pawn to a pawn ? (in theory there might be a short period during the promotion in which you have no pawn left ?)
I play final match in the tournament and it's 3 wins match. I started with black ... so this is, teoretically, loss for me. Is there way how to solve this problem?
This isn't stalemate... White just checkmated black by placing the maharajah at that position. So it's not black's turn: a win as already been accomplished.

<>It says in the rules: "...the game is finished if the Maharajah or the king is in a checkmate, >one player is in a stalemate, etc."
OK the game is finished but how??? With what result? Your copied text is incomplete and incapable of explaining the compete rules. You should have added:
The game is finished WITH THE SAME RESULT AS IN CHESS if the Maharajah or the king is in a checkmate, one player is in a stalemate, etc.
when you mean they: the black or the white?
If the white can't move I think it's stalemate. So a draw.
If the black can't move... can this even happen?

Quick question - if I DO NOT put the Maharajah piece into check, and they (Maharajah piece) DOES NOT have any valid moves - is it a win for me, or a draw?
