Nothing can be compared to the standard chess. Here you can find a couple of compuntoes chess links (in Spanish):

- El compuntoes - Chess news.

- Problemas de Ajedrez - Chess Problems.

Hey, I was wondering, I'm having a hard time finding the place where I can register my account and sign in, so could you help me? I've been looking around and I can't seem to see the link. I may have overlooked something.

Corrected the indexing

(zzo38) A. Black wrote on Wed, Nov 2, 2005 07:45 PM UTC:

This page is listed as 8x8 board with 64 squares. But this is just the
index page, it isn't the rules of an actual game. It should be listed as
0x0 board with 0 squares.

Not the faintest, Keith. Where, exactly, are the stars located, please?

Keith wrote on Thu, Aug 19, 2004 11:29 PM UTC:

I am looking for some information. I recently came across a game board in an antique shop ( a few of these boards were there and the propriator said most people buy them to hang on the wall for decor)that resembled a chess board except the squares numbered 10 by 10 instead of 8 by 8. On all the boards there was space included on each end with elongated stars painted. Anyone have a clue on these boards? <p>Keith

Dear Bewitcheds,

I appologize for confusing the rules of Shatranj.

The following game was corrected.

May the confusion subside.

Truely Yours,

Just for Your information: Russian weekly magazin 'Computerra' published
write-up about this site ( http://www.computerra.ru/xterra/33571/ , in
Russian). 
They describe this site as excellent, and now I see, that this is true :-)

Great web site! You might be interest to know that today, March 4, 2004,
Emma Young, writer for the Guardian, offers an interesting article about
research in military theory using *chess variants*:

 http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1161128,00.html

Here's some quotes: 

'But neither group is studying standard games. By modifying key
variables, such as the number of moves allowed each turn, or whether one
player can see all of the other's pieces, they are investigating the
relative importance of a host of factors that translate to the
battlefield, such as numerical superiority, a quick advance and the use
of
stealth.'  ***

'These games, and other variations on regular play, led the team to a
clear conclusion: being stronger and having more 'battlespace
information' than your opponent are both less valuable when there is
little information available overall to both sides - but the advantage of
a fast pace remains.'

I was googling about for my name and ran into
http://bovis.gyuvet.ch/2res/ches91va.htm, which seems to be a partial
mirror of the alphabetic index in Russian. Nothing major, but an
interesting curiousity.

Excellent site with one exception!
I miss the ability to search for variants using parts of terms.
Ex: I'm looking for the 'Crazyhouse' variant but I'm only knowing that
the variant contains the term 'house'. Actually I can not search that
way.
It would be nice to have a search function included which can search for
variant names or parts of these or to search contents of this site.

The Random Links are a great feature. It often leads to an interesting game that I had missed before.

Ironlance -- you have done a very nice job with the board, which is useful for different board sizes and shapes.
