Save the Standard. A Tafl inspired game, with equal forces and the addition of a Cavalry piece. (15x7, Cells: 101) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The non-entry of infantry to hills and havens is taken from the rules of Tafl. The cavalry were designed to be more mobile and so were not restricted in the same way. By way of compensation (game balance?) infantry are the only pieces allowed to use the bridges.

Firstly, I find the tone of this remark somewhat offensive.
Secondly, what is wrong with artistic expression? It could be argued that chess is an art and that this art in common with other arts such as dance or music or literature can be expressed in many ways:

  • playing a game of chess
  • composing a chess problem
  • composing a fairy chess problem
  • designing a chess variant

Rich,
do you mean this match chart?
The game-names are linked to the rules and I'll be linking the game-results to the Courier Matches today

Carlos,
Thanks for re-assigning my games, all appears to be working now.

Carlos,

I've created a new ID graemecn and used it to post this message. Can you assign my tournament games to this new ID?

Cheers
Graeme
