A two-move knight is certainly not a Nightrider, but still ... In some cases, in the endgame, promoting a pawn into a knight by the first move, you can immediately hit the opponent's king by the second move.

Firstly, I am not a programmer, so I just don’t know HOW this is done, and secondly, even if I were one, I would consider such actions simply not correct on my part. I mean to interfere with the site's line of games, which, as I understand it, have some criteria for the implementation of the game by correspondence.

From the starting position it is not possible to make two moves with pawns from columns b and g. For example, p b11-b10 and p b12-b11 for black. Since the first move is not displayed on the board, on the square where the piece that made the first move stood, you cannot place another piece on your second move.

You can play against a bot using the link (no registration required): https://dagazproject.github.io/checkmate/botk-board.htm

The bot, of course, plays very weakly, which is not surprising: Battle of the Kings is the only chess variant with complete information in which AI ​​is absolutely powerless.

Wild Rose is not a chess King. It can give check and be in check. I use the word 'in check' to mean 'under attack'. Please see here for more details https://www.chess.com/blog/Pokshtya/wild-rose-chess There is no need to measure the game by standard chess standards. This is NOT STANDARD chess. Win/Loss Conditions are very clear. To win the game with one of the three Winning Conditions YOU MUST MAKE A MOVE. Thus, if I leave my two Wild Roses under attack AFTER MY TURN IS ENDED, then I win. It will no longer be your opponent's turn. And he won't be able to say that he's attacking my two Wild Roses.

"Also, what happens if you have more than two Wild Roses? How does that affect win/loss conditions?" Answer: None You can have as many as 16 Wild Roses. If two of them are put in check AFTER YOUR OPPONENT'S MOVE, you lose, if two of them are put in check AFTER YOUR MOVE, you win.

"It is not clear to me what 'putting your Wild Roses into check' means, though." Answer: 'putting your Wild Roses into check' means putting your WR's under attack. AVOIDING CHECK IS NOT NECESSARY, but it does affect on Win/Loss Conditions. AVOIDING CHECK IS NOT NECESSARY - THERE IS NO KINGS in the game. Check is just a threat like saying GARDE to op's queen.

"Perhaps except in case of a promotion. The rules for that seem unnecessarily complicated." Answer: You are absolutly wrong. The more Wild Roses your opponent has, the easier it is to win the game. Again see examples here https://www.chess.com/blog/Pokshtya/wild-rose-chess

During the first day of publication on chess.com, I received more than a dozen positive feedbacks about the game. Not a single negative one.

to H.G. Muller

'are put in check' means a literal transition from static to dynamic. To win by Blossom Roses you have to move one of your pieces. I don't see any problem with the expression 'if two of them are in check' but saying 'are put in check' we are talking about the dynamics of events. Of course, we can use various words like 'to place', 'to expose' etc. I think I tried to convey the idea correctly.

" If the Pawn would just change into an enemy Rose on the promotion square, the opponent would also have an extra Rose." This makes it harder to win. By having the choice of 'planting' a new Rose where it benefits him, the player significantly increases his chances of success. I don't know if I can post pictures here, but I would show it very well with examples.

Лев, да я все понимаю и сталкивался с этим уже не раз тут. Спасибо за слова поддержки!

Okay, done.

- If two of your Wild Roses are in check (under attack), you win the game (blossom roses)


💡📝Вадря Покштя wrote on Mon, Feb 12 07:48 PM UTC in reply to H. G. Muller from 04:35 PM:

You are absolutely right!


💡📝Вадря Покштя wrote on Mon, Feb 12 07:55 PM UTC in reply to Ben Reiniger from 04:38 PM:

You're right. The more Wild Roses a player has, the more difficult it is for him to maneuver. If we remember the famous chess problem about eight queens, then a lot will become clear. However, fortunately, as in standard chess, reaching the last rank with a pawn is not so easy.

Please pay attention to ALL PHRASES in the description of W/L Conditions

Win/Loss Conditions
After your move:
- By giving check to two of your opponent's Wild Roses at the same time, you win the game (checkmate)
- If two of your Wild Roses are in check (under attack), you win the game (blossom roses)
- Leaving your opponent without pieces (only with Wild Roses) - you win the game (fading roses)
- Leaving one of your Wild Roses under attack means you lose the game (rose cutting)
Winning Conditions always prevail over the only Losing Condition. Or in other words, the first one to fulfill one of the three winning conditions wins.

 

There is no missing in the second sentence is "at the end of your turn". 

Win/Loss Conditions
After your move:
