Mats, I just created a link item and did not experience any problem. Could you email me step-by-step details on what you did? Thanks!
Hi Mats, you are not being ignored. I process email once a week (on Mondays), so I hadn't read your email yet. I have deleted the external link for Regiment Random Chess, so you can try again. Sorry for the buggy software and slow response time. Please remember, this site is all volunteer driven, so 'customer service' sometimes lapses a bit.
Hi Alan, why don't you post your designs here, and we'll see if we can integrate them into the Raumschach page? Or you can email them to us.
Yu Ren Dong, Could you provide romanized titles for some of the books you mentioned. I found the ones for which you gave an ISBN, but for the others, I cannot read their titles or authors because the characters aren't displaying properly. Many thanks!
Hi Jean-Louis and Yu Ren Dong, I will have some time in the coming week to work on these two pages (The Game of Three Friends and The Game of Three Kingdoms). I will make your recommended changes, since you both are knowledgeable in this area. Thanks for your corrections.
Hi Ray, I cannot find you in the database. What is your userid?
When you save the index information, it does bring you to the edit content page, but it really has saved the index information. I just tried it. If it still isn't working, just let me know what index information you'd like to change and I'll test it with that information. Thanks!
David -- what error are you getting? I just uploaded an image and edited the contents of my sample game page, and didn't get any errors. Please make sure you are using the links with the text: 'If you are the author of this page, your may edit index information or edit the contents of this page. You may also, if your page uses graphics, upload files.' Thanks!
Adrian, you should be able to upload the new zip file and overwrite the old zip file (ie. give the zip file the same name as the old one). Let me know if that doesn't work.
I have changed chessvariants.com to point to the new site. The change may take up to 48 hours to propogate.
Forms are currently not working! I will be getting them to work this afternoon. Sorry about the delays...
We are going to be changing hosting services, so please be prepared for an interruption of activities on this site. We will be suspending activities on this site starting Monday, December 22, 2008 at 10am EST. Hopefully, a few hours later, the site will be active again under a new hosting service. Thanks for your continuing patience! Best, David Howe
Should be fixed now. There is currently no way for users to rename a thread. If you want one renamed, let me know and I can make the change.
I would do it, but I suspect the skill level required to create vector-graphic versions of the bitmaps would be greater than my own skill level in that area (not to mention the time and energy required). I would be very pleased if someone who does have the necessary skill level and inclination, time and energy, would create a true-type font for Alfaerie.
Try this: /play/pbm/index.html Looks like it may be that the cause is the .htaccess file. I will look into it.
Jose, you are now a contributor. Please feel free to publish your variants...
re: emailing all cvp members I do have a list, and would be willing to send out an email (probably emails, since I'd have to break it up into sections). I try not to send emails out very often, but am willing to do so in this case. Just let me know what you'd like to be in the email. Thanks!

>> How do we propose graphics for inclusion in the set? I have been modifying some of the alfaerie graphics for some of the diagrams I have made on my computer, and I think they could be useful. Please email them to me, and I will consider them for the next expansion set! Just click on my name and mail to the displayed email address. Thanks!
That is 'Chess for Six Players', by Dr. Max Lange, Weimar, 1881. It uses 3 chess boards layed side-by-side and 3 sets of chess pieces.
chessvariants.org scripts are unable to send email. I have contacted our hosting service, but so far have been ignored. User id pleyades21 should now be registered, and I have emailed that user a new password. Sorry about the continuing problems with email...
FIDE laws of chess: 3.9 The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check. http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=EE101
