Onderwerp: Re:
Constellation36: I am not going to argue much longer about K against K end games as we mostly have the same view.

However, about repeating 3 times the same position or playing 50 moves without pawn moves, I am convinced no arbiter is allowed to interupt the game and therefore in case of a 3-times-repetition or a 50-moves-rules, there is no automatic draw...

Hmm, yes that's right, there is absolutely no point in continuing a game with KB against KB... but the draw is not "automatic" afaik...well, anyone trying to win with time with just a king should look for another game, maybe Tennis?

about knn+kp or kbp+krp, I know the issue.

About the pawn, I see a problem here as we are not supposed to know what the player played. I do not like the idea of a flag appearing. Personally.

I would even prefer, if it does not make much sense maybe, 50 moves without exchange and without a visible pawn move.

good point about the pawns. I would then vote for 50 full-moves without capture, and I would add "at least 50"

well, I cannot tell if there is a force win. Probably not, but white has a terrible advantage. In my opinion.

However, I see your point, if black plays correctly, he must survive.

why should not be the game that short? it is not a forced move and it is not a bad move, why should it be prohibited? well, I like very short games, especially in atomic actually

Aangepast door mangue (31. juli 2007, 09:03:36)
dresali: I do not like your suggestion, because when someone offers draw and I do not want draw, a natural way to decline is just to keep playing, and your way would enforce to answer a question "do you want draw" before continuing, and this I do not like. I hope you understand my concept about "playing one move implies declining draw offer"

Well, this is a luck game, so a K against K endgame is not draw

A simple solution is to play your move, and, after your move have been completed, if the behemoth position is not to favorable for you, offer draw at that time, which seems fair, am I wrong?
Regards

PS: it is possible to offer draw even when it is not your turn to play

compromising looks similar to ambigous, but closer to chess.

I am more seduced by one-and-half, maybe we could add that black start with +0.5 for compensation. What do you think? And of course if it is implemented, it must be implemented as a fully playable version with move sequences (as we have move sequences for backgammon, too)

There is no automatic draw in chess, you have to claim a draw. But if you do not know if the opponent moved a pawn, you cannot claim a draw.

It is like the 3 times the same position. In dark chess, you often do not know what the opponent moved, so it is impossible to claim it.

Just my two cents on dark draws...

2. februari 2007, 16:27:35
mangue 
good point ;-)

2. februari 2007, 15:00:52
mangue 
there is almost no draw in dark chess, because you can never know if the 50 rules exist (how can you be sure your opponent did not move a pawn). So even after playing 500 moves, if your opponent still refuses to draw, you can do nothing.

Also in normal chess, KNN against K is not automatically draw, only KN against K is draw.

If you are sure there were no pawn move and no captures in the last 50 moves, you can claim a draw by Fencer, but it will be hard to prove...

well, draw means no piece can move, this is quite exceptional since there is no chess.

maybe something like : http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=6&plla=107848

what is the probability to start with a Pawn ?
1/2 (only two types of pieces are movable)
or
8/10 (ten out of the twelve movable pieces are pawn)

Thanks for answer

Onderwerp: Re: ambigous stats
Pythagoras: I like the games with balanced results. Atomic and 3-checks for example have a clear advantage for white (ok, I still like them ) . Maharadjah and Horde are simply unfair. The player starting at ambigous has certainly an advantage. Like in CHESS, and here on brainking.com, blacks wins more often than white at regular chess, probably because some feeble beginners play only with white

This is great news, no clear advantage for white and almost no draw! This is what makes a game challenging. Congrats Nabla and Fencer for providing that new game

No Fencer, it did not happened. And if it is not allowed, than it is good so, because the rules said, there is no bishop in the game.

promoting your last pawn would be a suicide move. In Atomic, you cannot explode your own king, so I wonder if you can extinguish yourself in extinction.

Anyway, it is very improbable to happen!

19. mei 2004, 15:31:21

true it has been analyzed, and I know by heart how to win after 1.e4 1.d4 and 1.d3. In a shuffle antichess, I am pretty sure there are positions where game is already win before move 1.

Like atomic, the game is probably too wild to get shuffled!

What's more, I fair the extra coding and the extra rules will be to big for the players interrested in that.

If realized, we can have a game then!

60 games with black : 60 victories ! What a performance

I noticed that many players only play maharadjah with white for you... If you look on the "Waiting games", you have dozens of challenge with black, which is not fair.

Could they be proud about their rating? Do not they get bored?

Ok, as ughaibu said, it could be kind of beginner game for kids to learn how to move the pieces :-)
