Subject: Nice idea

it's interesting and kind of satisfying that the game of cheversi stirs so much brain power of our friends. My original idea was to play this game with all the pieces (including pawns) ... it could be really crowded and situation can change very rapidly.
Now, look please at the original rules I posted to chessvariants page. The rules say that a piece can be put ONLY on a square attacked by the opponent in the last move. I suggested to Fencer to play variant no.3 where tyhe player is free to chose any square. Maybe the original version was the best idea I had ... in this way I can influence greatly the moves of my opponent, forcing him/her to some unwanted positions ... Now I can see that too much freedom is not freedom at all. Please read the original rule.

Subject: Re: Nice idea

dicepro: Remember when we had this conversation last year (i think lol)

I think Dice is the obvious change, but having another quick think (as i have to rush to a dart match lol), maybe some kind of Dark Cheversi, where neither player knows what opponents pieces have been placed until the game end. Once a piece is placed, that square becomes unavailable and only the player would know what piece is there.
Once all pieces are placed. th final board and scores are revealed

Well something like that

back soon
