Subject: The problem with an 100 square board

Modified by Grim Reaper (17. April 2005, 19:39:49)

On a board with 100 squares, pawns rules get even more complicated.

Should they be allowed 3 steps on one move?
If so, are there now two tiers of en passant captures (one with a 3-move bypass, and one with a 2-move bypass)?

Gothic 100 would be interesting, but the "pawn pollution" problem takes some of the enjoyment out of the game.
