Onderwerp: Re: Loop Chess set

Fwiffo: At a minimum 2 sets of black and 2 sets of white. The combination of piece exchange means you will never have more than 4 knights/bishops/rooks or more than 2 Queens on the board.
The addition of promoting pawns does add more to this, which is no more of a pain than with regular chess sets.
To cover 90% of promotion cases, 3 sets of white and 3 sets of black should cover it?

Onderwerp: Re: Cheversi rules ...

Resher:

Perhaps I also misunderstand "touch" - I assume that to be an adjacent square?

Onderwerp: Re: Chess variant page, with programs And Dark Chess program request

Walter Montego:
As rabbitoid noted: Brainking already handles the logic. "Lock Screen" works as a blanking tool when the player leaves the keyboard (this has an added overhead of either using own laptops or setting up user accounts (or a uer account) so users can control passwords.

Dual monitors can be used to display both views of the board to spectators - thus they can see it how the players see it!!

Onderwerp: Re: (Ice Age precedence over check)

In my mind, ice age precedence is logical, given that "mate" is a shortcut to taking the king. If, at the end of move 20n an Ice Age occurs and means that white can no longer take the king, then the game would continue.
