I agree 100% with Bishop

Welcome, Stevie.
yes, it's the right word. :o)

Hrqls: I have an opinion about that. I'm against changing the rules in every game, just because some players don't like it. The creator of the game, made the rules, some other guy create others, so what i propose is one of 2 choices. return to the original rules or create 2 alquerque game types (one with Alfonso rules and the other stays like it is now).

hey vnv, it can't be. i played many times with stevie and he is a nice guy. i didn't liked the remark that Bishop made about me this afternoon, but i think it wasn't racism...

Who is Stevie2? Is the same Stevie? Why do you call racist to Bad Bishop?

That's why i said to change it to the original rules...

Almost of the games have a better side, and I think to have this kind of restriction in the openings is bad for the game.
Like you said, you thought at the beggining that were better to play with black. maybe there is a solution to that opening... if not Fencer could change it to the original rules for example

Nightstorm:
I think the alfonso rules are better to balanced the game between black and white pieces, if everyone agrees with that, we can ask Fencer to change it...

Well Bishop, i don't really know what is your problem.
I had a game invitation for players up to 1900 points, that means it was for the best players. No one is forced to accept game invitations and everybody can put their own conditions, like colour, time, etc...
I see all the time, invitations to line games, like pente, five in line, spider line, etc. only for playing white...
And for the most unbalanced games that i know in here (horde chess and marajah chess) you ONLY see invitations to play with ONE of the colours.
But if someone puts two invitations to play black and white, what will you choose? both? or just the one that's better for you?
just to put an end to this conversation i say to you, when i make personal invitations i send ALWAYS 2 (black and white) in every game variation.
By the way , i saw your games and you played 3/5 of it with white pieces...
