My feeling has been that your interpretation, the "further away" one, was the correct one, that as long as you were moving further away, that would suffice,...

Yes, a while ago, but I forgot that one of them started with 1. Bd3 That does confirm it, doesn't it? Thank you. Speaking of Ralph Betza, is the email listed...
I have some very original and interesting ideas that I'd like to develop with help from a fellow chess variant enthusiast. Anyone want to enter into private...
I've thought of another way of countering the first move priority besides simultaneous chess, though the idea is so simple that I wouldn't be surprised if I'm...
I'd like to experiment with adding another rule for this, mandating that captures can only take place on the second move (when there is a double move). That...
I wish I could, but for the moment my help can only be advice. I'm overloaded with projects at the moment. If no one is up to the challenge in a few weeks...
For 2-player, turn-based chess variants- 1. Only turn-orders consisting of an even number of moves allow an equal number of moves per player at the completion...
I think for this sort of turn order that it might be best to remove the two space move of pawns on the first move. This was originally done to speed up the...
Hi Derek. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my progrev proposal and your very interesting analysis and references. You've given me a lot to think ...
Speaking of Balanced Marseillais, I notice that Game Courier now enforces Marseillais Proper, so to speak, i.e., enforces games in which White must make two...

The Piececlopedia is so woefully shrimpy at the moment. Reading the below statement made me curious as to why we don't just go to a wiki model. It seems to me...
It might work. Wikis are open to abuse, however: Spam, self-promotion, edit wars, etc. A wiki has to be done with great care and needs to be closely ...

Hi, Ron. I appreciate you doing this. I think I'm going to try using it, in fact. I guess I would encourage others to do the same, and maybe one day, if it...
Hi Jeremy, Well, I certainly don't see it as a competitor to the mighty Chess Variant Pages. I don't think it could compete successfully even if some of the...
Okay, I've made an entry. Tell me what you think of it. (It crossreferences a lot of other entries for pieces which I don't have time to write about just now...
Jeremy, I'm at work right now so I can't do more than glance at it for a minute, but it looks awesome! I hope more people do good things. BTW, even though the...
