I found a reference online to "Valdskak", an Iceland variant in which supported
pieces are immune to capture. Is there such a game? Is it otherwise FIDE
chess?

Over the years I have played many varients. The
only varient that has a chance of being as popular as
chess would be Capablanca chess, or as they call it
today, Gothic Chess. Great game, been playing it for 4
mths. I now have to think about my first 6 moves. The
GCA is also naming openings & gambits after people
who are currently alive. If you come up with a
unknown killer gambit they will actually name it after
you. Little or no opening book really evens the
playing field.
I'm looking for someone who would like to play Fischer Random Chess games with
me by e-mail. I can't find no place in the web where to play such<br>variant ...
You can play F-R at the Internet Chess Club,
www.chessclub.com, where it's known as wild22. I think you can also
play Fischer-Random at MEWIS, but I don't know the URL
for that site.<br><br>There is a website for F-R on
the ICC which is maintained by an ICC member with the
handle PopeJohn. The site is

Modest Proposal Chess is my own modest proposal
for the modest proposal Chess variants. It is
inspired by Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," which
you may read at
<br><br><a href=http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html
target=new>http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html</a><br><br>In Modest Proposal
Chess, non-Pawn pieces may
capture Pawns of the same color. In a more horrific
variant of Modest Proposal Chess, Pawns can also capture
Pawns of the same color.
Hey, I been to that site, cool animated games.
Lots of useful information. Two of my friends have
already joined the GCA. The newsletter they send out is
great. Would you be interested in a game. Are you any
good? I had my friend bite on the poison pawn, it was
great, worked like a charm! I'm sure you know that one.
I'd like to get rated. <br><br>PS (not a post script,
just my initials ;-)
I created a chess variant described at
<a href=http://www.chessvariants.com/diffmove.dir/fantasy.html
target=new>http://www.chessvariants.com/diffmove.dir/fantasy.html</a> when I was
in middle school. I'm almost certain
at least one person has played, since a rules
addendum suggestion was made. *grin* Could anyone give me
feedback? I was thinking of converting it to ZRF format and
wanted to know if others thought it worthwhile.
Suggestions welcome.
Hello everybody,<br><br>I'm looking for some
(around 1700 elo) players who would like to
correspondence with me. <br>Mostly about opening-lines. <br>I
think that it would be great to share my
opening-knowledge with others and to learn from others
opinions.<br><br>Bye,<br><br>Albert<br>Netherlands<br>albert_chess@...
....for someone to create a ZRF file for
implementation of my game DOUBLECHESS with<br>ZILLIONS OF GAMES.
See<br><br><a href=http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/doubleboard.html
target=new>http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/doubleboard.html</a><br><br>fo\
r full setup and rules to my game. I don't
have<br>the expertise to create it myself. If one of
you<br>out there reading this takes up the gauntlet
and<br>answers my challenge and creates one, please make it
available for download for free
through<br>www.chessvariants.com and post here to announce its creation.
Is there a chat room anywhere on the
internet<br>where one can go to meet other players who<br>have
ZILLIONS OF GAMES? Presumably, one could<br>find other
players to play live interactively<br>through their
ZILLIONS OF GAMES programs. And,<br>since I've never done
that, can someone give<br>me a crash course on how you
connect yourself<br>with another player's computer to
play with ZOG?
Ok, I built a really simple version of it,
largely pirating the code from the standard chess module.
The only thing it's missing is cosmetic bits like
amending the description and history, which I believe you
can do quite easily. You can find the file at
www.geocities.com/seancduggan/DoubleChess.zip
I know of a wonderful old abstract strategy board
game that I think would be perfect for the Zillions
game-playing engine. Unfortunately, my programming abilities
are woefully inadequate. Would anyone like to learn
more about such a project?
I wouldn't mind looking at this game. No promises
-- my time is fairly limited (family, job, house,
etc.), but I am interested in old strategy games. Mind
you, there exist rules that are difficult or
impossible to program in Zillions (mainly those dealing with
dice or limited information).
I'm glad to see that the 100 squares contest is
still taking submissions for the moment, and that there
were some (at least three) last minute submissions. It
looked for the longest time like there would only be
four entries, and what fun would that have been? (It
might have increased my chance of winning, I suppose,
but who would want to win such a small contest?)
Peter,<br>I can relate to limited availability of
free time. How would you like me to start in giving
you a look at the game? A description? The rules? By
email? By posted message? Anyway, the game is Camelot
and it was invented in 1887 by George Parker under
the name of Chivalry. Its pretty much a combination
of Halma (Chinese Checkers) and (regular) checkers.
I'm fairly certain the game would be programmable in
Zillions by someone who has the talent.<br>Michael
If you don't mind posting the rules, that might
be the best approach (I'd post my e-mail address,
but that might get picked up by a spammer, and
likewise if you posted yours). By the way -- what is your
source for the rules? I have a modest reference library
of books on games, and none of them listed it.
Sean, did you remember to impliment the
special<br>castling rules? Your program is worthless<br>without it.
Did you read the rules to my game?<br>The king is
allowed to castle with any of the<br>rooks. When inside
castling, the king moves 2<br>squares towards the rook.
When outside castling,<br>the king moves 4 squares
towards the rook. Also,<br>I hope the standard chess
rules of en passant<br>and pawn promotion are also part
of the program.
Peter,<br>I don't mind putting my email address
in this posted message -- it has already been posted
in a number of places in an attempt to solicit
memberships in the World Camelot Federation (of which I'm
President). (My email address is also the official email
address of the WCF.) Please contact me directly and I'll
supply you with more description, the rules, and other
information.<br>Michael Nolan<br>mwn_mqn@...
