Anyway, the classic of this genre is still smess, if anyone asks me!

Nobody seems to do that.

It is impressive how you quickly make variants playable. Hard to believe! Could you give 'Avatar Chess' a chance?

This is only possible because the variants are more or less standard. So all I have to do is set up the start position by draging the pieces I want to participate to the board, possibly change their name and move if it was not the most common one for that image, ask for the HTML and paste it in the comment I am submitting.

That would be entirely different for Avatar Chess. Even if the Diagram could be made to handle that by considering every move a promotion (to the piece that belongs on that square), the AI would not play sensibly. Because piece values (on which its heuristic evaluation is based) are not a meaning concept, when pieces change identity on every move. A lot of programming would be needed to fix that.

It means that the diagram designer should receive a lot of customization to achieve an avatar chess diagram. On the other hand, HG is very good he could conjure a badzone function that does it. Anyway, the classic of this genre is still smess, if anyone asks me!

@ Aurelian: Possible, indeed. It may be that Avatar Chess is not similar to the usual variants. But what does that tell us?

@Greg, I do not think he can, in a timely manner. Avatar chess is totally different than the usual bunch!
