I have a code to create Piece in Piececlopedia. I’ve taken your template and written my text.
For Diagram Designer it is same? I uploaded my files in chessvariants , but what I should do to upload in Diagram Designer?
File Manager do not work. I have unpublished Orthodia and all pieces’ images are here. But my image of board below the diagram of this board is missing. So before this it wasn’t missing by more than one time. I open File Manager for this page and see “File manager submitted item” — and nothing more! Please fix. Other inserted files of this page are safe and sound. Thank you very much!
Please check my submissions. They are waiting Your look, except for 2 lasts) Regards, Rechefiltr_is_Fire
Which way can I upload my piece to Piececlopedia entry or Non-piececlopedia? Tell me please. I commented this page because I’ve seen last activity there, not for the page.
For each warrior. Thank you for your looking.
Can you add option to decline the latest revision of submission? I suddenly submitted bad revision, and day of my work was failed. Please do it
I rewrite the page understandingly Knight can capture up to 2 pieces, but he can capture a piece which stands in the corner of the board. All rangers can capture up to 6 pieces.
I will write it in page. All pieces are checking on their moving and capturing’s lines, but Knight is checking on his moving squares, and is capturing by dissect.
Can Canvasser be Agitator?! In my notation, he is it. Noted as Ç
Can you watch Fluidity please, I can’t add new variants but I have 5+ of them in keeping ready.
So how can I add my piece to Piececlopedia?! If I can;)))
Why Horde chess exist on Lichess and aren't on Chessvariants? I tried to write Horde's rules but I met a page's number limit) Please write. Lichess is free chess site with billions of games and millions of players worldwide♡
Post a comment if you judge that your submission is ready.
It is ready now! Please, I have more cool ideas but I haven't place for them on chessvariants.com now. I can wait.
It’s not ready, it’s list, as notation, and for likers. This notation is used in my games. Symbols above/under pieces are existing when this piece is made later.
No, my Fluidity have many difference from it [Jumping Chess].
It’s not like diffs between Carrera’s and Capablanca’s setups of Archbishop and Chancellor, it’s like diffs between Capablanca’s and Seirawan’s chess.
So it’s notation not for single variant, but for more — for game.
But I don’t know now how to enable letters with symbols or small letters.
One remark: can you watch Magician’s moves and make diagonal-based motion. And small Shielder’s regulation of replacing rules, but it’s not required for now.
Yeah, thank you very much!
Points are accumulating. I’ve written this in the page.
Sorry, if you can, please change THERE moves of Index and Ox. All other is COOL!
What’s happened with promotions rule? I hadn’t seen this yesterday. And what’s happened with Shielder? (maybe I can agree (or deny) capturing from front of Shielder, but it mustn’t push Shielders). It’s intentional or bug? Probably it’s bug, but I didn’t see this on small iPhone yesterday. Maybe earlier iPhone versions don’t support, and newer do? I hope it’s bug of rules.
Sorry, but yellow X-es are captures!
I have an idea: you can turn Ox’s face to left in Stone Garden, as it was in my drawings, and make it different from Horizons. About Index it’s same. Please.
Thx, but about moving of previous version of Ox, it’s just historic note.
No, it’s not easy win, black can easily block the path of check by 1.…Be7 or 1.…Qe7 after 1.Qe2
So it’s not required to add interactive diagram for THIS variant. But if it will be in online chess resource, thank you.
Can you add Interactive Diagram to Horizons please?
P. S. Can you add Zip (a.k.a. Lightning) in Piececlopedia?
https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-google-coop&q=Duck+Chess&cx=partner-pub-2787503004438672:4328536141#cobssid=s Please solve this)
Edited. Can you publish it please?
Edited. Including some rules (i. e. no restriction to turn the Raven in first 5 moves, I deleted this) So interested people can read and play this offline, not only online.
Delete it pls. I can’t delete not-empty page, but I can’t save empty submission
I fixed it, it's your turn. There is no castling here;)
I fixed things about horse promotions, but quality of pieces’ images on the submission’s diagram is amazing in the worst sense of it.
I think that’s bug
Thank you. So I missed out one thing.
It was in the rules but wasn’t in the pieces desc. Read about King, you’ll find.
Thanks, can you publish it please?
Small question. Who is the youngest editor of chessvariants?
Maybe I am.
What should I do to see this page published? I really don’t know it.
To me — it’s very good site
OK I've edited that
I agree, you can delete this submission and write this as a variation of Extintion chess. I won't be forgotten anyway. And I will write more sufficient inventions.
Ready
Please, I really don't understand what I should edit to get this published
Thank you by this advice.
(BTW if you want, I can request a Shako tournament with you someday. Site is Pychess (chess variants site written in Python), to play it, you have to create lichess.org (chess site with millions of players and open source code) account)
Ready
My submission is ready)
Please, this variant is ready to be published.
I will remake this variant. Slightly
Ready for publishing. Hit-and-run captures activate only after adjacent taking move. So it’s like Lioness!
I’ve beaten InteractiveDiagram with black and with white (I can send you move checklists). Don’t forget that white starts a game with SkyBrilliant’s drop, but black is the first player to move.
Something like Janggi
AI level X - Rechefiltr_is_Fire
White places his Karmium on d1 and looks pleasant), so black moves first.
- Nf6 (do this move by black and insert only moves after) O-O 2. Nc6 c4 3. d6 d4 4. Bd7 Ab3 5. e6 Axb7 6. Be7 Axc6xb7 7. O-O Axa8xb7 8. d5 Axc7xb7 9. dxc4 Axa7 10. Be8 h4 11.

Rechefiltr_is_Fire - AI level X
White places his Karmium on f1 to avoid white’s first sufficient move, black moves normally first.

I’ve edited this page, so rangers can capture up to 3 pieces.
Thank you for the diagram for calibrating this variant.
Good day’s time. What should I do to make this published? Please answer me in next 96 hours.
So I can delete piece articles in parentheses as well as bare piece graphics (not moving diagrams).
Middle arithmetic of mentions said above)
Thanks to all. But I agree to make Game Courier preset with another graphics also, such as Alpha or Merida, in settings.
For this tip, thx
As far as I know Eurasian Chess are played on bigger board & with also other pieces...
Yeah, it's borrowed from Synochess and Empire, but in general, from Xiangqi.
So probably it’s not a plagiarism, because I’ve not seen standard chess with faceoff rule.
What about this?) I see that’s ready also
Edit: I prefer to change “big” to “some” in preview description, but I can’t)
Can we publish it please?! It seems like ready.
So you seem like busy) (jk)
By the time, what you decide about this variant?..
Since this comment is for a page that has not been published yet, you must be signed in to read it.
BTW I think that piece may be upgraded in value if it’s extended by another one which deletes all flaws of first piece. If that’s right, Bishop+Knight pair costs 6 (it can reach all the board as knight leaps and half of board by diagonal motion), Archbishop costs 7 (it can reach the whole board by any of its parts, but his color-switching “ingredient” isn’t distance ranger), and opposite-colored Bishops’ pair costs 8 (it can reach all the board diagonally, its cost increases on free or very non-crowded board, and 2 bishops near in row are like 2-squares big piece which can’t be reached by enemy king and is better than Rook and Archbishop).
Also cost increases on larger or smaller board sizes – example is Knight (which is OP on boards about 6x6 and smaller), or Magician from my Horizons (which is better on boards about 10x10 and larger; as well as Giraffe, Antilope or my Policeman from Stone Garden (thx to editors!)).
Sorry for my graphomania;). (Costs are measured in pawns where Queen costs 9)
So please watch at least one of my submissions (exc. for Random Piece Fight), I will be glad!
I have remade some pieces and I can send it here
With Q=9 the true values (on 8x8) are B=3, B-pair = 6.5, Archbishop=8.25.
If Bishop is just 3, why the Queen is 9 if it's 8?! why Archbishop is 8.25 if it's 6 (according to B=3)?
I consider that there are chessmen with more permanent value (such as Rook or Silver) and with more floating value. (Each piece's value floats depening on board's situation, but some of their values don't exit certain natural number's area).
But a lot of them are worth two numbers and are closer to one in one position, and to other in another situation. There are some factors which are affecting: board's size, number of pieces on the board, abilities which piece has, and amount of squares which are available.
Number of pieces on the board can be sufficient (remember of Janggi Cannon & other hoppers).
Bishop is maneuverable ranger but it has one huge flaw - colorboundness, by this lone B=3. All things which dissolve it will increase bishop's value (slightly, but yes, methods are said in a comment above). In this system, value of Queen is considered as 9 because it's compound of Rook (5) with Bishop without its flaw, additionally giving the non-royal King's motion to Queen. It's synergy. (Archbishop is also strong but it's reachable by King and can't hold a straght line; Chancellor can hold a line, I consider that C≈8, but it's closer to 9 than Centaur, so less size of the board increases its price, all BN, RN and KN compounds).
About Knight. That morning I've come to my favourite pychess.org and played 3 games of Burmese Chess (Sittuyin), so I've understood that in first part of game (with crowded board) it's good to trade your Silver for opponent's Knight, because last has more mobility and forking ability. But in an endgame (on very non-crowded board), it's better to have Silver against Knight (with another weak pieces of course), because Knight + Ferz has less checkmating ability than Silver + Ferz; so Kinght's forking ability isn't useful if rooks are already traded. (So in variation of Thai Chess, called Makpong, where King can't move out of check but can capture checking piece, situation is more clear with advantage of Knight).
Anyway and anyhow, (in wide sense) chess is fun))))))))
Camel is made to better distinguish it from Knight. Nightrider has a little change so it can be declined.
P. S. (Вы знаете русский?)
Yeah, Queen is about 9, but even little more (especially in endgame), so:
If you became to put practical arguments, N+N+B≈Q, but B+B+N (if B-s are on different colors of cells) isn't, such as Bishops' pair is more than Knights' (but it's not 8 because board isn't fully free, and they can't be safe by standing near each other due to Queen's existence there). Yeah, B=N, but B=N≈3.5 (average price).
So about Archbishop, it's possible to have its value slightly more than 7 as average value.
So we should keep in mind that piece values just reflect the average performance of a piece, and that the actual performance for some imbalances might have a far greater variation than for other imbalances.
So if it's that, why do you use = symbol when I and Hirosi Kano use ≈ ?!
B+N+N≈Q and B+N+N=Q isn't same.
Why I count A≈7 (if accurately, 7.44) Archbishop has a less color-switching ability than Centaur or Chancellor.
One should realize, however, that Euwe's values just reflect his personal feelings.
It's right)))) so I also don't use (rude for me) computer analysis.
BTW can you check Faceoff or Kinzoku (Neodobutsu)? Please. I have so much ideas (about 20!) and only few are realized.
About Archbishop I meant only pure endgame (K+A vs K), because Bishop is maneuverable.
So stalemate possibility also matters. So for me, piece is more valuable if it’s easier and more possible to checkmate in pure late endgame.
So I really don’t understand, what have I done if you ignore my submissions?
So 7 is very weird number: I’ve claimed Hyperrook (RF), Archbishop (BN) and Magician as 7 in my own notation (which BTW has Manchu Superpiece and hasn’t Amazon), but now I watch and see that they all can cost 8 depending on situation; so I’m thinking about marking Nightrider, Squirrel and Unicorn as 7, but I don’t want to do it.
I will stop this discussion to not drown in it)
Can I change my ID? or what can I do about it?
OK
Radioactive Queen Chess is long time ago considered as ready. Sorry, it’ll be nice to get your answer when you will be free.
Please check at least one of my submissions in next 72 hours. Thx, Rechefiltr_is_火

{attempt 2}
Can I add my Magician or Zip (or probably other pieces) from my Horizons (or Torch from Orthodia) to Piececlopedia?
For me it’s better to add Zip, but Magician HTML is fully ready.
About Lancers from Orda Chess you can go to GitHub and download the SVG of Lancer (which was even refreshed in this year by my noting that its ribbon had thin border; so I say it because it’s in open source).
…except that I don't think there's any way to add it to the Musketeer Board Painter from where I sit.
What is MBP? btw I can open these SVGs in Inkscape (where they were drawn) and convert into PNGs if you use PNGs in your diagrams.
You can send me your diagram with free Lancers' cells and I fill it with sending to you.
I'm next!..
...also please say to editors that I wait them VERY long...

I've created this by simple editing and copypasting but error occured https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Stone+Garden+Full+Contact&settings=stonegardenvarfc&submit=Edit
I also have some Rook-strength pieces: Longdebeest (Ö in my notation, CFX) and Dove (Ď in my notation, fFvDbsNbAvHfG). Both are majors; both are also weird (especially Dove).
{Also I think about new piece category, Mezor, which are minor in most variants, but become major in drop variants (such as my Warrior, Copper, Silver, Wildebeest, several Argentinian hoppers, etc.)}
Unpublished content is hidden only for non-members. We already can make suggestions or revisions (but not publish it because we aren’t editors).
I also have this issue :)
One advice to you.
For me, Treasurer is imbalance strong, and if I was you, I’d fixed its range to 3-5 squares.
All other rules are good, your variant is new though it has already inspired me to create {something new also}.
(Off topic, but so):
As far as I know it’s old cburnett graphics’ version, I can show to you it’s new version (used on https://lichess.org for several years).
I also contributed to these graphics adding Khon in https://pychess.org .
It will strongly refresh the look of CVP and probably raise up the number of our visitors (and mainly it may be used in Game Courier).
Thoughts on ear.
Please expand a bit on mezors! I don't understand what you mean!
It's a category of chessmen who have mating position but cannot reach it.
Not on this category, but I also will note that Commoner also has a power near the Rook.
