20. December 2006, 20:06:13 Subject: Re: A thought. Endorfin: Because of the fact, that a Chess960 (FRC) starting position is created just immediately before the first move has to be made, theoretically existing advantages of one side do not at all have that value as in traditional chess, where the positions have been analysed for centuries. Thus there is no need to change the basic chess rules at all. Regards - Reinhard. 22. March 2006, 22:39:52 Subject: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants WhisperzQ: Thank you for the link! Now it is double clear, that there has been a request for 8x8 variants 22. March 2006, 13:00:52 Subject: Re: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants nabla: welcome - where? 24.

http://brainking.com/de/Tournaments?tri=29371 Thank you to all participants, especially to the strong finalists: rabbitoid, Fencer, votacommunista and Chessmaster1000. 20. September 2005, 09:17:13 Subject: How a bout a new type of Pawn move? What do you think about following new type of Pawn move: if close in front of a Pawn is a dense serie of one or more other Pawns (own or opposite color) followed by an empty square, the Pawn should be allowed to jump upon that empty square. This would help to overcome blocked situations.
Reinhard. 15. May 2005, 11:05:18 Subject: Re: infinite move numbers ? rabbitoid: If your looping rook would be an obstacle to itself, you have to decide, whether the rook should capture itself, or the move finally hereby is blocked. So you at last have the choice to declare this move to be impossible, or having unfinite multi-looping doubles. 15. May 2005, 01:02:41 Subject: Re: infinite move numbers ? Modified by SMIRF Engine (15. May 2005, 01:04:02) danoschek: An additional argument against such passing loopings is, that when cycling once creates a move, cycling twice will also do. How will you distinguish such a move from one making 222 cycles? Enumbering all valid moves will end in a never ending chaos. But identifying all into one 'move', will reduce them to a simple passing, which is not allowed at all. 15. May 2005, 00:54:57 Subject: Re: passing a move ? reza: In Chess (and variants) there is a phaenomene called 'Zugzwang'. It is existing only, because there is no possibility in Chess to simply pass a move. Permitting moves which do not change the situation on the board thus will be nothing else than passing. Thus the Zugzwang element by that will vanish from Chess in such situations. Chess including a possibility to pass a move no longer remains Chess, it becomes a new type of game. 7. May 2005, 16:28:11 Subject: Kibitzing FRC Openings Well, in OTB tournaments you have no time to watch simultaneous played games. Here the situation is a little bit more complicated. May be it could help to disallow any kibitzing until move 5 of any random game. 1. May 2005, 07:55:48 Subject: Chess960 Computer World Championship Modified by SMIRF Engine (1.

Regards, Reinhard. 17. April 2005, 11:28:32 Subject: Chess960 positions and rules condensed Modified by SMIRF Engine (17. April 2005, 11:30:06) Hi Chess960 friends,
again I point to the fine PDF document from the Frankfurt Chess Tigers. You can find and download the PDF document (in German language) from the very interesting Chess Tigers' home site at: http://www.chesstigers.de/download.php ( please search there for the link: Chess960 Startpositionen und Regeln ). Regards, Reinhard. 17. April 2005, 09:45:29 Subject: Huge response for the first Chess960 Computer World Championship Hi friends of real chess programming!
In a very interesting article (German language) from the Frankfurt Chess Tigers you can learn that there are already 20 participants. Thus it will be an event huge and relevant for chess programming in August 2005, where the engines will have o calculate from the beginning, not where a huge opening library might end. See article at: http://www.chesstigers.de/ from 2005-04-17. Reinhard. 20. March 2005, 11:12:53 Subject: All Chess960 startpositions at one page Hi all Chess960 friends,
the Chess Tigers have published a very compact summary consisting of two tables, from which any of the 960 existing starting positions easyly could be derived. It seems as if this page actually is available in German language only. Go to http://www.chesstigers.de/index.php?id=4 (Chess960) an use the link "zu den Startpositionen und Regeln ..."
