Otsikko: Atomic, da bomb.
I was wondering, in Atomic Chess, is it possible to take the king, or do you need to cause an explosion which kills the king?

Otsikko: Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
Good news for all of you who sent me games for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants : after the sad death of the author David Pritchard, it would have been a real pity that his huge work stayed unfinished, and indeed the task has been taken over by John Beasley.
He is the editor of the Variant Chess magazine and is undoubtly competent enough to continue David's work. The most interesting games might find there place in the magazine as well (on of them, with my annotations, has already been published there).
So, good-quality variant games are still welcome !

Kipling: Don't get me wrong, you had a better position. It's just that 3 times repitition is a draw, there's no agreement required.

Otsikko: Re: Extinction chess
Pafl: Well your game is fun, doesn't look "pathetic" at all :-). The other one is stranger, with Black responding to a "check" by putting himself in a double check, and then winning the game !
But none of them really features play with KQRBN v KQRBN. As long as there is another piece on the board, this extra piece has unrestricted attacking possibilities and I would not call the position an endgame. However it is of course just a matter of words.

I'm sure he will understand except if he wants to made it in purpose or he has other reasons.....
Perhaps he waits for you to gain an established BKR or a high one, as then he would lose less points with the draw....Just guesses....

How come this game isn't a draw? There's nothing in the Legan rules about repitition not being counted?

nabla: I have made it once to the A HREF=" ">http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=750636"> 30th move but only due to a series of blunders as me and my opponent were both rather pathetic players.
The most "endgamish" endgame I have ever seen is probably in this game of my friend Diogenes against Votacommunista. Only I do not quite understand the ending of the game which Diogenes should have won quite obviously.

Otsikko: Re: Extinction chess
Pafl: Good question ! Of course a chess-like endgame is impossible in Extinction, but we could choose to call endgames all positions where both camps have only unique pieces except of pawns (that is, KQRBN v KQRBN). I didn't reach any here yet, but it doesn't seem an unlikely issue at all.
Now, many of the positions just after the last piece trade will probably be either simple forced wins, either dead draws with all pieces having to stay on their posts in order to avoid a breakthrough. Has anyone played an interesting "endgame" here ?

I think you miss the fact that the decrease of the vacation days happens at the start of the new day.

That means at the start of the new day i had 15 days and then after 23:59 i had 14. But in that time i guess our game hasn't time out yet. That means every game it times out now and on the whole day from now on, my vacation days will remain 14 since the decrease already happened.....

That is a possible explanation that i didn't find from anywhere just from my logic to explain that. So don't take for granted all these.....

Otsikko: Re:
Pythagoras: I won't insist, I'm not that interested actually.

I looked when you had 5 minutes to go and you had 14 vacation days. You still have 14 days vacation even after the time ran out.

Since you've only played 2 games I'll guess that this is posturing rather than a statement with substance.

You timed out against me by the way, but somehow through the silly house rules managed to stay alive without appearing to have lost a vacation day. How is that possible?

grenv:Legan is a little silly, but I'm not sure why it's any more drawish than chess.

Many reasons but i'm too lazy for an in-depth analysis.....Just play it some times with a good opponent and you will see that you can only draw....


In fact the %age of draws on this site is about the same as the regular game.

I don't even want to understand why white wins horde more often, but it seems I've drawn the short straw playing black against Fencer. Hmm.

4. Helmikuu 2006, 17:25:25
Chicago Bulls 
Well Legan seems a stupid drawish game while Horde of course is an easy white-wins game.....Grand though is a very interesting and good game.....!
Fencer you should extend the repertoire of available games here and modify the current stupid one's such as Maharajah,Horde(well actually this doesn't need a big modification if any, since black has a small chance to win or draw if white playes a bit carelessly).....

4. Helmikuu 2006, 17:03:42
grenv 
Well, i got 3 games I've never even looked at, Legan, Horde (which seems silly - especially since i'm playing black) and Grand. I didn't get a single game of dark or atomic :(

oh well, more of a challenge I guess.

The worse thing when you play Maharajah as white is that you feel like a wanderer in a desert! You are alone and can't do nothing, just wait to die! You just shuffle your piece without any reason and purpose.....

grenv: Yes sorry, but it has nothing to do with you. I just play only Backgammon/HyperGammon games right now(the last 5-8 days).....Before a week or so i was playing only Dark Chess and Backgammon. Now i'm in the mood for Backgammon only! But i started building my will for playing again Embasy Chess,Anti-Chess,Chess,Dark Chess so hopefully Monday i will start playing again all these games.....For the other types i'm currently playing(Pahtum,Chess,Chinese Chess,Extinction,Atomic,etc), i will be forced to play them since my vacation days will end.....
Sorry again i did you and all others waiting.....
