May 2005, 14:42:33 Subject: Re: Re: danoschek: not in all games. in checkers, you can have multiple jumps that end up where you started. in cylinder chess I see no reason why it should be disallowed. it comes to a "pass", but so what, if no rule forbids it? 14. May 2005, 14:11:14 Subject: Re: Re: reza: Ra5-a5 is no legitimate MOVE - you are absolutely right - a move has
a start square and a different destination square, that is its definition ... ~*~ 11. May 2005, 09:02:44 Subject: Re: Games not appearing - help? Corporation: This will help:

Hope this solves your dilemma. And to prove it, I have accepted one of your horde chess games. Cheers WQ :) 11. May 2005, 07:21:55 Subject: Games not appearing - help? I've created a game of chess amd horde chess and neither shows up in the waiting room, but show up on my main page that they've been created.
What should I do? 10. May 2005, 22:31:23 Subject: Re: Shuffle-Antichess Caissus: this is a perfect idea,i got it too;the pb with antichess is that its overanalysed!
we should try to put it! 10. May 2005, 13:50:08 Subject: Re: FRC Tournaments fungame: Tournaments in FRCEC don't start with the same position. Everyone has a different position. I agree, they are more fun!

May 2005, 16:58:04 Subject: Re: Kibitzing FRC Openings Sumerian: I think as there is plenty of opportunity for diversion from any course there doesn't need to be a kibitzing rule. After all, there are a lot of sound first, second, and so on moves from almost any of the initial positions, so the play is largely a matter of taste. Also, correspondence is set up to allow maximum thought and opportunity for research for each player. 7. May 2005, 16:33:51 I don't think this is necessary at FRC.......But perhaps it would be a good idea.....! 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. 7. May 2005, 16:19:25 In this way it would make games of the tournament more interesting, but in the current way it would help to see who plays better the current position or for FRC-Chess interested players(like me) it would help to generate some ideas about various setups......And as i've said in the current way there is no luck factor at all......... 7. May 2005, 14:33:26 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. 7. May 2005, 14:12:20 This is to avoid the luck factor......... 7. May 2005, 13:20:00 Why each game of Fisher Random Chess tournament starts with the same setup? This is no fun :( 5. May 2005, 03:12:58 Subject: Re:  Andromedical: I joined your tournament Andromedical. I haven't played much Dark Chess in awhile. I was hoping ol' Ed would join it for some Dark Chess, but thems the breaks. It looks like it starts in a few hours. Perhaps we can enlist a few more Dark Chess players?
Should be a fast paced tournament with a two day move limit. http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=8217 4. May 2005, 11:25:30 1.

Regards, Reinhard. 30. April 2005, 09:58:58 Subject: Re: Caissus: winboard/xboard manages fine the pgn used here. In windows you have to modify the shortcut to have the flag
winboard.exe /variant=crazyhouse the only problem with this interface is that it doesn't show the pieces off board, which is VERY annoying for this variant 29. April 2005, 13:08:35 Subject: Ra5-a5 Another reason why this should not be allowed:
A "move" is not the action of a piece travelling, but the action of putting a piece on a free square (or occupied by opponent, but that doesn't apply here). Since a5 is occupied, the R can't move there 28. April 2005, 20:28:59 Subject: Re: nabla: It doesn't. I think it's not a nice move either. to me a 'move' has to be with some sort of a change in the board. 28. April 2005, 17:07:14 Modified by Caissus (28. April 2005, 17:07:48) Interface "Babaschess" is able to replay crazyhouse/loopchess pgn-games,but you have to change a little bit the pgnformat.
http://www.babaschess.net 28. April 2005, 16:01:51 I vote that Ra5-a5 is a perfectly legitimate Cylinder Chess move. Do we know whether BK allows it ? 28. April 2005, 10:23:09 Subject: Re: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Luke Skywalker: It´s OK :-) Thanks 28. April 2005, 10:03:34 Subject: Re: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Bruce: Try Winboard http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html or look at freechess.org for other interfaces to the chess server. 28. April 2005, 09:57:31 Subject: PGN Viewer for LOOP CHESS Do you know anybody PGN viewer for replay PGN files from LOOP CHESS ! I try classical PGN viewer, but there cannot replay notation e.g. 13. B@d6 B@e7 ... Thanks 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. 12. April 2005, 14:14:14 Subject: Re: I didn't realise this was your site Nabla ... I will add it above with a reference to the "home" page for AntiChess. Unfortunately for me it is in French (I will have to get my daughter to translate LOL). 11. April 2005, 21:37:26  The website of nabla contains valuable resource for antichess and do not miss his delicious Antichess exercices :-)

April 2005, 14:34:35 Subject: Re: nabla WhisperzQ: Sure, no problem ! There was also a very fine endgame database server (up to 4 pieces) by Lenny Taelman, but this one went down recently :-( 8. April 2005, 09:26:57 Modified by PhatPlaya 臭臭小指 (8. April 2005, 09:27:15) Unfortunately Mr. Trice refused to play in the tournament. He limits himself to chess variants in which he can win 100% of the time. 6. April 2005, 20:45:46 Subject: Re: Ed doesn't play Dark Chess grenv: Ain't that the truth? This fear of losing is making him not try new games. It's a shame in a way. As smart as he is preported to be, we'd really have our hands full if he got good at Dark Chess. There's no way around it though, even if you are good you will lose games. I've lost some to people who were just learning the game. And while you're learning the game, it's a given that you'll take some lumps and lose a few too. Maybe after Alex wins that marathon Chess game between them the burden will be off and he can branch out and try some new things. 6. April 2005, 20:34:32 Subject: Re: Matarilevich: lol. There could be, though it would be a lot more difficult to program well!  6. April 2005, 20:29:59 The reason is easy: there is not a software machine for playing dark chess. 5. April 2005, 12:45:55 Subject: Re: Ed doesn't play Dark Chess Walter Montego: He doesn't play dark chess for the simple reason that he couldn't possibly win every game. 5. April 2005, 07:17:31 Subject: Re: Ed doesn't play Dark Chess Modified by Walter Montego (5. April 2005, 07:36:16) Andromedical: Or if he does, he doesn't play it on this site. I have asked him to play at various times and he's turned me down by not responding. Perhaps you should have the tournament games in games that he actually plays on this site?
I know that him and quite a few other regular Chess, Gothic Chess, and Janus Chess players have no problem or would have no problem beating me at those games, but I hold my own against them in Dark Chess. 5. April 2005, 07:11:31 A tournament has been created to honor Mr. Ed Trice:
