Pythagoras: I tried twice already

grenv: Oh LOL! Then just try to explain him that there is no other way.....! I can't believe that a 1500 Legan rated player can't see this.....
I'm sure he will understand except if he wants to made it in purpose or he has other reasons.....
Perhaps he waits for you to gain an established BKR or a high one, as then he would lose less points with the draw....Just guesses....

Pythagoras: LOL back, I doubt i'll ever play this silly game again so he may as well wait for Godot.

grenv: I told you that it is silly game! As i've said i think between 2 logically strong players a draw is the clear result. I feel squeezed when i play this game so i hate it too.....!

I expected more...but I guess I was wrong.

Pafl: Well your game is fun, doesn't look "pathetic" at all :-). The other one is stranger, with Black responding to a "check" by putting himself in a double check, and then winning the game !
But none of them really features play with KQRBN v KQRBN. As long as there is another piece on the board, this extra piece has unrestricted attacking possibilities and I would not call the position an endgame. However it is of course just a matter of words.

Kipling: Don't get me wrong, you had a better position. It's just that 3 times repitition is a draw, there's no agreement required.

Congratulations to the Winner rabbitoid!

Fast Chess Variant tournament with Fischer time!

Good news for all of you who sent me games for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants : after the sad death of the author David Pritchard, it would have been a real pity that his huge work stayed unfinished, and indeed the task has been taken over by John Beasley.
He is the editor of the Variant Chess magazine and is undoubtly competent enough to continue David's work. The most interesting games might find there place in the magazine as well (on of them, with my annotations, has already been published there).
So, good-quality variant games are still welcome !

nabla: welcome - where?

SMIRF Engine: Link on this board or PM to me.

SMIRF Engine: Here is the original post from November last year.

WhisperzQ: Thank you !

WhisperzQ: Thank you for the link! Now it is double clear, that there has been a request for 8x8 variants

SMIRF Engine: To say the truth, I had initially also made the same request for 10x8 variants, but I have already received a lot more that could fit into the Encyclopedia.

I was wondering, in Atomic Chess, is it possible to take the king, or do you need to cause an explosion which kills the king?

bobwhoosta:
You win if you capture a _piece_ that causes the explosion of the opponents' King but at the same time doesn't cause the explosion of your King.
This _piece_ can be the opponents King as well.

nabla: 2 of my games which can be published.

JinkyOng: What variants are these?

grenv: The game is chess. The play is not chess. The result against strong players in 3 minute blitz game is art.

JinkyOng: Chess? Not chess? Perhaps these games should be submitted to the editors of the ARTLEX or Grove art dictionaries. :)

JinkyOng: I guess you tried to show and prove that your superiority is enough to win even by playing incredibly stupid moves at the opening and losing many tempo's and destroying your King safety at all....
And you succedded in doing that, against all these considered strong players that they have proven to be only some weakies for you, right....?

If rook is a1 and kin b1, how to castling? Is is king in place and rook to c1?

My 101 all games tournament

JinkyOng:
at least you could have chosen some games which were not published previously:
The third coming of Bobby Fischer?

BlueJ: The rules say "the target locations of the king and the rook doing the castling move are the same as in standard Chess". So your king will go to c1 and your rook to d1.
See http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=67

Someone: Who has deleted JinkyOngs original post with his two games? Now there are four further posts who don't make sense anymore. In my eyes either his post has to be restored or all subsequent ones have to de deleted as well.

Someone Else: You have asked why I'm sure that JinkyOng isn't Bobby Fischer, but you also deleted your post. Well, I didn't say that, I was just linking to an article where one of JinkyOngs games has been discussed. But now I'm not sure anymore about his identity because I've received a mail which makes it more probable that he is him:

JinkyOng: It has to be "Mein" instead of "Meine"

Kleinme, Jules did delete my post. Not sure about the reason why...
Regards

PS: i do not like to be censored

kleineme:

I guess anything is possible, although Fischer always has been real careful about his privacy and I don't think he would be that overt in letting his real identity be known.

Those Internet Chess Games were always speculation as to whether Fischer played them or not. Something like an urban legend among chess players.

The best would be to ask the master himself, do you have his email

kleineme: JinkyOng's posts have been restored (they were only temporarily hidden) after one derogeratory post was deleted.

WhisperzQ

mangue: JinkyOng is playing a couple of games currently. if he doesn't wipe the floor with anything brainking has to offer, that settles it as negative.

2006 Second Quarter Open Number 5 Dark Chess

3 day standard vacation. It's an open.

Chessmaster1000:
What is the point of being so secretive about an opening. Life is to short, just let it out. Mayby then someone else will save the black side.

1. Nf3 e5 isnt as bad for black as one would think at a first glance. Right now im plaing a couple of games with that defense. if you are intrested in playing white aginst it, please do challenge me.

mrundersun: There are some traps for white, but if played correctly it's a bad opening for black in my opinion.

Typical line sees black down in material without much counterattack:

1.Nf3 e5
2.Ng5 f5
3.h4!
NOT 3.Nf7?? which quickly loses to 3...Qh4
3... c6
4.Nxh7 Qa5

If you still think black can have an effective game then challenge me as black. :)

Is it legal in Atomic chess for king to move close to opponents king? For example, white has a king on e1 and black on d3. Can black king move to d2?

From simply reading the rules it seems to be Ok, white can't capture black's king with Ke1xd2 because his king would be destroyd in explosion as well.

andreas: You're correct, there is nothing illegal about such a move. In fact it is frequently a tactic used to avoid direct capture and can prolong the endgame.

grenv: NOT 3.Nf7?? which quickly loses to 3...Qh4
does it? after 4. g3 - Qc4 5. d3 - Qxc2 6. Nxh8 it is surely better for white, is there anything better?

mangue: I think black has the best of that position actually after Bb4 and Nc6

yes, but not too quickly...

mangue: Point taken, however I still maintain that h4 is better and wouldn't even consider Nf7.

definitely

I protest!
This new light blue(cerulean) colour you put for the Extinction Chess game, is getting on my nerves!

Is there any chance to change it to something more human or should i start getting used to it....?

Pythagoras: I think you should start getting used to it ....

I was hoping for a different kind of support and you come up with this...?


Oh well, i may hate it less if time will pass....
