mangue: Very nice! Even though in classical chess sacrifice with mate in 4 isn't that unusual, it's because players are familiar with checkmating schemes, but to find such in this new game must be something very pleasant.

Subject: Re: ambigous stats

mangue: May be good way to resolve this would be to ask excellent chess variants players like: Matarilevich, Ughaibu, Oliottavio, Reza, Tenuki, Pythagoras, Nabla, Pioneer54, Anencephal and others, what do they feel when they play this game together.

Loop chess question: promoted piece after being captured is resurrected as pawn (usual rule) or as the piece it was promoted to? Not exactly mentioned in rules here...

Pedro Martínez: Yes, I know exactly, in some games I didn't make the first move yet! And if there is some period where my connection is good, I waste time with writing to boards

Chessmaster1000: There is nothing idiotic if someone is not master in some game, neither the opposite, if someone is able to play some games at higher level, it doesn't automatically mean his life has greater value or something. BTW Pedro, why don't you resign this game with me and only play it with the slowest possible tempo?

U want to win or something, or you just care about your rating so much, waiting for mine to raise?

But in tournaments with 2 games with reverted colours per pair of players it would be really enough if these 2 games are the same IMHO.

Why each game of Fisher Random Chess tournament starts with the same setup? This is no fun :(
