I can't login with my old account (user ID is MThomas).

I tried to change the password, and I got the email with the link to the page to enter the keyword and new PW, but after entering these it says: "failure to decrypt email adress".

I tried two times, and I'm sure I entered the correct keyword.

What should I do?

What is U-grid chess? I can't find anything about it.

PS: not to mention random permutation chess. After every turn of every player, a random permutation of all 64 squares is generated and the pieces are rearranged according to it. King rule effective, checkmate is loss, if player to move attacks opponents king, they may not capture it. No double move, e.p., promotion or castling. Absolute chaos, but still not totally without strategy, one can still decide if and which piece to capture, while all non-capturing moves are effectively the same since everything is randomly rearranged.


Zones of Action. Inspired form Lines of Action. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This is an interesting game, very good idea for the playing mechanics. But the description is difficult to understand. If I got it right:

A player may either move their king or one of their stones. There is no capture, one can move only to empty squares. The king, if attacked, moves like a normal king (like fers or wazir). If not attacked, he may leap to any empty and not attacked square.

Stones move like wazir, fers, dabbabah, alfil or knight. A stone can move like X if a stone of any color or the friendly king is an X's move away. E.g. white stone on a3, white king or any stone on a4: the stone a3 can move like wazir (to a2 or b3).

If a king is on a square an opponent's stone could move to, the king is attacked.


Circe Chess. Captured pieces return to their original square. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Is it allowed to remove a check by having the reborn piece block the attack?

Say white King on h2 attacked by black bishop b8, White captures a black pawn b3xc4, pawn is reborn on c7.

I'd like to favourite Three check Chess (/play/erf/ThreeChk.html), but it seems not possible, because there is no game description page for it :/
