Nightstorm: Fencer? *busy*? never!

maybe i'll send him a gentle reminder. he probably does want the rules to reflect the way the games work.

Nightstorm: he changed the way the games are played without updating the rules??? that's kinda messed up...

Andre Faria: well if that's the case, then it's the rules for Czech checkers that haven't been updated, because it's the rules for Czech checkers that don't describe the way one-way checkers works.

i don't know if the rules for Czech checkers describe the way Czech checkers works because i've never played that game. but what's wrong in the rules for one-way checkers is the statement that "the other rules are the same as for Czech Checkers." they're not.

1. the rules for One-Way Checkers say that, except for the starting position and the fact that all pawns move in the same direction and both players see the board from the same side, the rules are the same as those for Czech Checkers.

2. the rules for Czech Checkers say, "a queen does not have to land directly behind the captured piece, it can choose (when jumping) any other empty square in the line but does not have to jump over two or more pieces at once."

3. in a game of One-Way Checkers i'm playing (game #1421492), i'm finding my Queens obligated to jump every piece they can.

is this a bug in the game or in the documentation?
