Well, not actually 1,000 cards, but 1,000 Blank White Cards or 1KBWC is a fun card game. Applying it to Chess is something I came up with last night. :) Each...
Is possible to create a piece, a slider, that is capable of reach any cell in the board? A overlord? I'll try a sissa + counter-sissa (moves any number of...
... A 1-bend queen* or a (strong or weak) planar rook would both work, assuming a 2D board. Analogous pieces would work in 3D. * a queen that can turn once...
Just a philosophical thought, a mind exercise. An irresistible idea, just like when Thanos mixed his DNA whit Galactus DNA, just to see what happens. Thanks,...

Hi! I'm new to this group. Please have a look at my chess variants: http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/chessvar.htm What do you think about my new "Scorpion" pawn?...
That is a very interesting piece. What value would you give that piece relative to the standard valuations for chess pieces? ... [Non-text portions of this...
... The Scorpion pawn would have half the value of a bishop or knight, on an 8x8 board, that is, 1.5. I base this foremostly on the Zillions engine's ...
Interesting. I don't like non-whole numbers, so I guess I'd put it as "2" simply because it's clearly better than a regular pawn. It's a neat piece. Thanks...
... I don't think it's worth 2 because there are no additional captures, only two additional movements to empty squares. Morever, the four outermost Scorpions...
... If they are hollow, I suppose one could use these cheap plastic pieces as moulds and make stone plaster casts, which become very attractive pieces. Stone...
... I have now updated my Harpy Chess so that it plays better. I think this concept is interesting, of free-moving pieces. It actually works. As Mr Brugh has...
... I'd have to make silicone molds off the outside of the pieces. That modification with the wire nuts is just a cheap and quick way to modify pieces for ...
I was interested in your random pawn set up. Isn't it possible to have a single move checkmate in some configurations? John - ... [Non-text portions of this...
Coincidental that you should say that, John, because there is someone named "dogod" (I think you've met him at schemingmind perhaps) who has just been ...
I didn't see anything there like that, but I didn't explore very much. I liked the idea of random pawn placement, but aside from that I didn't explore. John -...
Whoops! I sent the wrong link! (I was working on my Tamerlane preset) Here it is: *Randompawns Chess *http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/chessvar.htm ... -- I try...
... No, for instance, if black's pawn is on f6, then white cannot check with the queen on h5 because there is a white pawn that blocks the way on f3. White...
... Zillions has sophisticated algorithms for evaluating piece value. It has to have this because there are so many different games. I have verified that it ...
A new piece, correct me if I'm wrong. The "Elk" moves differently depending on the colour of the square. If positioned on a black square it moves like a Rook....
