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.
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.
H.G Muller, It is very encouraging that you are making progress. Like to try out your server sometimes.
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.
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.
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?,
John Smith, good thought about Halloween themed chess.
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.
I have problem compiling cheesd. Let's see, I will inform any progress.
I am a resonable C,C++ coder, not very good though!, I would be happy to help.
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 :).

Games for Game Courier. The many games you can play online with Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]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.
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.
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.

But the preset is only showing a check.
Game Courier Logs.

But the log is showing my opponent as a winner. I have made a mistake by sending a comment after the game is over. How to make it correct?.
