About Game Courier. Web-based system for playing many different variants by email or in real-time.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In the game /play/pbm/play.php?game=Chess+with+Different+Armies&log=olbog-cvgameroom-2006-69-489 I think I checkmated the oponent. But the preset is only showing a check.
Game Courier Developer's Guide. Learn how to design and program Chess variants for Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Can one develop a javaboard type application for game courier, from which one may play just by mouse clicking. You already have similar type of system for computer play.
Games for Game Courier. The many games you can play online with Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]With the per game rating system another important addition may be the click and play system. The computer java applet already has this facility and it will not be difficult for game courier to adopt it.
One thing I like about game courier is it is a system for the users by the users and it has a expandable 'open source' like structure.
Yes this is true. What I meant is that at least the game design part is left open and one can code a lot of game with game courier. That much is also not easily avalaible elsewhere. As a matter of fact game courier is an excellent creation, both as an idea and as an implementation. I understand the problem with point and click play. But one generaly use it as a side option. One may use it or one may enter the move by hand. It is like that in other servers. Why I suggested point and click play is that to many computer-novice gammer it gives more comfort and hence is a important factor to increase the popularity of a system. A java base system also gives a better and faster preset to analyze and watch a played game.
It seems that I can not edit a preset. Suppose I edit the preset of Remarkable Rookies vs Colorbound Clobbers and change a BD to a Rook. Then after pressing 'update' and then 'test' when I choose the option to move pieces by yourself I again get the orginal BD but not the rook. Same thing is happening if I invite somebody to play the edited game and accept the invitation myself.

About Game Courier. Web-based system for playing many different variants by email or in real-time.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Many thanks for those improvements, It also works in my hand held Nokia880 (MicroB browser). ChessVariant pbm is now definetely better than or as par with schemingmind etc. in many possible ways. Just to mention, safari is based on KHTML (backend of konqueror) not the other way around :).
I am a resonable C,C++ coder, not very good though!, I would be happy to help.
I have problem compiling cheesd. Let's see, I will inform any progress.
Thanks. I have downloaded lasker-2.2.3. Have not compiled it yet, as it is showing problems with static etc. But that should be fixed following your previous post. Non-root installation can probably be done using configure --prefix=DIR name.
John Smith, good thought about Halloween themed chess.
Short queen vs Rook endgame will be very interesting. I would like to see what happens in a endgame of R vs NB (cardinal) and R vs RN (chancellor). Also do NB+pawn win against a lone R?,
Bison. Makes (1-3)-jump or (2-3)-jump.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H.G. Muller, This is not a bison question, but do you have a ubuntu version of Joker?, although it is apparently working under wine.
Chess with Different Armies. A Ralph Betza personal favorite: Features series of armies with approximately the same strength as the FIDE army. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I can not customize the preset. Say I want to start a game of RR vs FF. I change the chancellor in RR team to a queen and invite somebody. After the acceptance the armies are again reverting back in their original form.
H.G Muller, It is very encouraging that you are making progress. Like to try out your server sometimes.
Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Rococo is an excellent game. In fact it is one of the best non-chess like chess variant. All the problems with Ultima (which it self was an nice game) has been successfully dealt with.
Seirawan Chess
. invented by GM Yasser Seirawan, a conservative drop chess (zrf available).[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It is a bad game!!, there is no strong new concept. Pieces were also introduced many times before. Putting too many heavy pieces on 8x8 make this game extremely clumsy. Modern chess or Capablanca chess is far better.
H.G. Muller, Is it possible to download the source code of your server?
Chess with Different Armies. Betza's classic variant where white and black play with different sets of pieces. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It seems that queen in Nutty Nights (what ever its name is) is really a clumsy piece in defence and can not come back to aid once it goes too far. Hence many end games which are otherwise won, get lost (saying that after playing few test games). It would be better to at least add a 2 step backward rook move with it to have a fair and balanced game.
Prison Break. Starring the sliding pawns, the Ninja Guards, the Knight, the Bird, the King and introducing the captivating Ice Queen! (6x8, Cells: 46) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This is a nice and interesting game.
Four-Way Chess. 4-Way Chess.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]'svastik'-why should it be original sanskrit? !!
About Game Courier. Web-based system for playing many different variants by email or in real-time.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hi, how to use the point click option to play variants which needs the movement of more than one piece?

Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]How to use the self destruction of Swapper in game courier? I am playing a game and my opponent is unable to use this feature.
Sam, Creating a new chess variants is 'trivial'. Yea it is as trivial as writing a poetry. Anybody can write down some matching words in five minutes but a good poetry is something non-trivial. Same goes here!
Weak Combo Chess and Strong Combo Chess. Combining either the weakest or strongest elements of FIDE Chess, Shogi, and Xiang Qi. (9x10, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]'Not all of my games are jokes, you know.' Question is that whether this particular variant is a joke or not, it is not about your other variants.
Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]One can not move into check although the rules states that the goal of the game is to capture the opponent king, not to checkmate it.
Wild Kingdom Chess. Missing description (8x11, Cells: 88) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Nicholas, it is good to see that you are already authoring interesting variants :)
Chess with Different Armies. Betza's classic variant where white and black play with different sets of pieces. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]CWDA is one of the best chess variant there is. The best point about it the main concept is simple yet deep and brilliant. It is certainly the most chess like variant. In Betza's language 'Heavy duty chess'. Another variant which may come close to this realization of 'brilliant yet simple idea', is the Kamikaze Shogi variant by Fergus.
There was one Chess with different armies tournament 2001. As far as I know none has been arranged after that. I was wondering if people are interested in another one. Let me know and we can continue this discussion.
Chess with Different Armies. Betza's classic variant where white and black play with different sets of pieces. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H.G. Muller, Many many thanks for the end games table bases. I also thought it would be similar that in QKFFK game , Q wins. Please let us know more. Indeed a very interesting research.
What happens with a KRKW endgame, I guess it is a draw just like KRKN endgame.
Fearful fairies. An experimental army for CadA, featuring the Dullahan (Ferz-Knight compound) and the Banshee. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Anybody like to play this army? Although I do not really like the nightrider piece I can still play with it. Nightrider is always a problem and it is difficult to calculate with it :). Another queen variant which is short range is NBD or NAFD.
Ideal Values and Practical Values (part 6). A study of the value of the Furlrurlbakking piece.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Nice to see you back. When you were not around I found this cite and become a fan of CWDA.

Fairy Pieces Part 1. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I use Linux and run ZOG very successfully through wine. It is almost 100% perfect with no glitches and problems.
Fairy-Max: an AI for playing user-defined Chess variants. A chess engine configurable for playing a wide variety of chess variants.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Is there a ready made setup for chess with different armies ? Thanks for answering,
ChessV. Program for playing numerous Chess variants against your PC.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I am testing with a modified preset
/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DAssymetric+army%26settings%3DFIDE-Assym1
But whenever I tried to actually play a RR vs FF preset appears, not my modified army. I would appreciate any help.
I am wondering why that is so? I don't clearly see anything in the code that precludes mixed pieces.
Game Courier. PHP script for playing Chess variants online.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Just like to point out.
