Muller wrote on Tue, Nov 28 07:10 PM UTC in reply to François Houdebert from Mon Nov 27 09:31 AM:The number of chess variants implemented in Jocly raelly starts to explode, and with it the size of the src/games/chessbase directory. (As each variant has several filles there: a model and a view, a thumbnail, a description, credits, rules...)
Perhaps we should make a cleanup attempt, where we create a sub-directory in chessbase for every variant, and move all files related to that variant there. That would make the sources a lot less messy. An alternative would be to put a modest number of variants that are somehow similar into a single sub-directory. E.g. all 10x8 chess with BN and RN, all variants invented by the same person, etc.
We should also decide on how to organize the res/fairy directory for new pieces. Perhaps it is a good idea to put pieces that are only slight variations on each other in the same subdirectory. I have for instance added many resized pieces (which can continue using the same normamap and diffusemap), to get a better correspondence between size and importance in many games. The alternative crowned bishop and crowned rook could likewise share the directory with the existing versions. When I create a distorted version of a piece (which also can use the same maps) I also put it in the directory of the piece it was derived from.

Jurassic Chess. 
Game with unusual movements, a river, and bridges. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It's available for $29.99 from Google Play Books.
That's a more manageable price, even for a PDF, and it should read fine on my 24" monitors (especially since my PDF reader is generally on a vertical monitor).
I'll still try the public library, though. :)
It's available for $29.99 from Google Play Books. However, it is formatted like a PDF instead of a normal ebook, which means I cannot increase text size without increasing page size, which then moves part of the page off-screen. It's a bit too small for comfortable reading on my 7.8 inch Likebook Mars, though it's a bit more comfortable in landscape mode if you don't mind viewing half a page at a time. It's a more comfortable size on my new 10.1 inch iPad, though it's still small.

Not all books are worth the same though but i m not the best person to tell you if it is worth or not. If you buy it, have it from ancientchess.com, you will have it signed by both authors.

133. Lion Dog. A piece seen in some Shogi games, the Lion Dog slides up to three spaces in any direction. (Q3)
Some people have assumed that the lion dog is a mythical creature, but it's not. There are several breeds of dog with that nickname, though in this case it almost certainly refers specifically to the chow chow.
All things considered, I think my design barely does justice to the chow chow (or to any of the others, such as the Tibetan mastiff or Himalayan Guard Dog).
I forgot to post yesterday's Piece of the Day, so...
132. Virtuoso. I initially proposed Virtuoso as an alternate name for an Amazonrider, but then I realized that the Virtuoso needed to be something truly broad. So, it's more than just a Queen plus Nightrider; it's basically a Queen plus Buffalorider. (QNNCCZZ)
This is almost obscenely powerful, and probably should be limited to something on a very large board (16x16 or more) and only as a piece to promote to... or, it could be part of a game full of obscenely powerful pieces (and there are plenty of those to go around).

Jurassic Chess. Game with unusual movements, a river, and bridges. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have described Falconry in A World Of Chess (Praxeo, 2017).
That's a good reason for me to buy the book, though unfortunately the $50 price is enough reason for me to not buy it. (Maybe I can try my local public library....)
I meant the icon.
Again, no, though for my PNG Dolphin icon I used what's probably a similar technique: start with a crescent, then accessorize as needed.
