Another example of tweaking in Zillions is the method of changing the relative values of the pieces. This is usually necessary when using pieces with cannon...
I've invented two new pieces: the Doublebarrel, and the Doublecannon. These are pieces with cannon capabilities that are quite valuable and therefore (unlike...
Two things! 1- Needless to say about the compound, but, this time I have no name to sugest; 2- I'm beginning ro fall in love with the Gustavian board. It's...
Hi! I've been thinking about a large chess variant based on the armamentist race. In this variant the pawn promotion will be very important, because will be...
... I've now redesigned Doublebarrel Chess in an interesting way. The board is now 8x8 and the Doublebarrers sit beside the board, but are introduced after the...
Today I had a thought that I never saw in a variant. Why not have a lepaing gold general or silver general, like the alfil? Or, like a rook, unlimited range? ...
I like the new board shapes you have proposed. I like the way you have revived the Gustavian board; this is an interesting way of allowing the much greater ...

I have continued investigating the properties of two leg movement, where the piece deviates from its course, although in the prolonged movement direction....
The two leg capture can also be implemented with a form of "collision" move. The murmillo and secutor (actually gladiator types) employ this move, which seems...
John, thank you. Do you use a computer program to run the analysis, or some other method? [This looks like it could be a fair amount of work by hand.] Thanks...
Hello, everyone, I have uploaded, this morning, a new Zillion rules file. This rules file is for Capablanca Gustavian chess. Mats Winther has recently...
A match was played between Zillions and ChessV (v.0.9), at 15s per move on a 1.6 Ghz computer. ChessV is white in the odd games. The result was 4 - 4. Zillions...
