Actually, Mike the ZRF was pretty easy -- just a quick modification of the standard Chess ZRF. I still need to update the piece descriptions. <p> Names . . . hmm. Maybe: <menu> <p><li> Quarterbound Chess; </li><p><li> Odd Piece Chess; </li><p><li> Stuttering Chess; </li><p><li> Skipping Chess; </li><p><li> Transfering Subsets Chess; </li><p><li> Nelson-Aronson Odd Piece Chess; </li><p><li> Separate Realms or Separate Realms Chess. </li></menu><p> Once we decide, someone ought to put a page together for it. <p> If stalemate is a loss, then by Ralph's Rule Zero, so is 3-times repetition. <p> I'm not sure bare King is the best choice for this game. Given that stalemate is a loss, and the King is fairly weak, I think you'd lose some interesting endgame play that way.
