8. Januar 2009, 03:58:56 Emne: New Chess Variant PAWN POWER I designed another funny and exciting chess variant ... This time it's real, orthodox chess game with all the rules traditional chess game use. But, there is a second goal players trying to achieve (first one is of course check mate)... namely 32 points which are collected during the game (and collecting is nothing more than killing opponent's piece)... why 32 points ? Here is the explanation: Figures are assigned points and there are 64 points total. List below tells the story ... BISHOP = 2 points KNIGHT = 3 points ROOK = 4 points QUEEN = 10 points PAWNS : 1st taken = 1 point 2nd taken = 2 points 3rd taken = 3 points and up to 8th taken = 8 points KING = 0 points As you can see, value of pawns increases. exactly like in every chess game, but this time, more than ever, players try to protect their pawns due to increasing value they have ... So, 32 points being exactly HALF of 64 is the goal ... either you check mate or collect 32 points by killing your opponent's men ... I have chosen 64 points just for one reason ... to match the number of squares on a chess board ... there can be any other number, but 64 is just elegant ... Hope you like this idea ... chess and point scoring feature will change the tactics and strategy significantly ... and this is the whole idea behind any chess variant... Andy. 20. Januar 2009, 21:17:53 Emne: Re: New Chess Variant PAWN POWER ChessVariant: Hi, I tested this game with a very strong player at GameKnot ... I lost (of course, lol) 34 to 25 and this is what he wrote to me ... Hey Andrzej, Based on my experience of just one game, I think the strategic twist is interesting. I think (possibly) once one player is a solid pawn up, he can, with accurate play, ensure victory. This is true of chess, but even more so with pawn power chess because of the pawns' incremental values. Therefore the opening sequence and exchanges become crucial and the endgame less so (if it even occurs). In some ways it is the opposite of three checks chess; instead of sacs its rewards cautious positional play. There is no doubt that it 'works' as a chess variant. Maybe we can experiment with the points system and see how that affects strategy. Thanks for the games. It has been an enlightening few days! All the best Samie *** It's really exiting to play this "point version" of chess ... hope we can try it ... anyone ? Andy. |
