Subject: Re:

nabla: You only need to alter the rules to the extent of creating the new game, superfluous amendments don’t add anything except the ambiguity that you seek to avoid. You couldn’t pay three check chess without changing the definition of how the game ends. There is no need to do so in loop chess though. The only clarification of the rules that is needed in ice age chess is the assessment of checkmate occurs at the end of move 40 or the start of move 41. There is no need to refine checkmate in this game.
