tufflips: the tournament creator defines it. Unless he defines 'random' and then it is ... kind of random.

Maybe it was '2-games-each'? And you got all your black moves on a row, against all opponents?

Asunto: Ambiguous rule.
In the rules for knightmate chess this is written: following standard castling rules [ ] no square between the knight and the rook may be attacked by an opponent's piece).
But this is not standard. The standard rule is that castling is legal if b1 or b8 is attacked. Is this contravened in knightmate chess?

Asunto: Re: Three checks
Justaminute: thanks for the quote! it explains it nicely for classic chess indeed!
i am trying to find a position in classic chess in which my king would be in check, but i would still be able to capture the king of my oppenent, but i fear that is not possible in classic chess :)

i will pay more attention next time, and try to remember this game :)

thanks!

4. Junio 2014, 16:54:56
Justaminute 
Asunto: Re: Three checks
Hrqls:
Article 3.9 of the Fide rules of chess say:

The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check.

Your movement of the knight would leave your king in check, contravening the rules of chess. Hence I believe Brainking is applying the rules of chess and hence three check chess correctly.

4. Junio 2014, 14:56:27
Hrqls 
Asunto: Re: Three checks
Justaminute: i always understood that in classic check you had to get out of chess otherwise your king would be captured on the next move and you would lose the game anyhow .. the same for a check-mate position .. there is no way to get out of it and win the game, so the game could end right away

in this case i have a way to get out of the check position by winning the game (and thereby preventing any future actions of my opponent) ?

i guess the rules of classic chess are really rules, and not just logical statements :)

3. Junio 2014, 17:03:17
Justaminute 
Asunto: Re: Three checks
Hrqls:
The first line says
"This game adds one extra rule to the classic chess."
It is a rule of classic chess that when in check you have to move out of it. Hence resolving your king's check takes priority over moving the knight.

3. Junio 2014, 16:48:15
Hrqls 
Asunto: Three checks
In the following game : Drieschaaks Schaken (gambler104 - Hrqls)

I can end the game by moving my knight from F2 to H3 ... the site doesn't allow this though as my king is in check (by my opponents queen)

I can't find it in the rules though that I should solve a check position if I can finish a game before my opponent actually manages to capture my king?

Walter Montego 
Asunto: Re: Chess tournaments, London, August 2013
rabbitoid: It could be played on real boards. It'd be a hassle, but it isn't unprecedented. That is how Kriegspiel was and is done. Kriegspiel is a game that is over one hundred years old. It is very similar to Dark Chess, but uses checks and checkmates and does not allow moves that are illegal in regular Chess, such as moving into check or castling through check, or moving a piece over a piece.

I have read that the opponents would typically sit in different rooms and require the services of three people to play a game of it. Each would have their own board and pieces, but would put them where they thought the opponent's pieces were. One of the people helping with the game would keep his own Chess board with the actual position on it that neither player could see. Unlike Dark Chess, the players have no way of seeing where their pieces attack or capture except to try the move and learn from what happens. One of the people helping with the game is given the role of referee or arbitrator. He announces if a move is legal or not. A player that makes an illegal move, must take the move back and try another. This is not how Dark Chess is played. It certainly would use the same skills to play as Dark Chess, but you'd have to gain a lot of your information just by what moves are allowed and also choose those moves that might be illegal on purpose to gain such information.

I imagine nowadays someone might have programmed a computer to play Kriegspiel. It seems this game has a following. I read it was used in training to help officers of the Prussian military learn about thinking with incomplete information.
