Mobile menus on the play subdomain[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

It works fine in my mobile devices.

By the way, I have noticed that kibbitz comments are not displayed in logs when you review games by using mobile devices; see for instance this: shatteredglass-judgmentality-2014-237-084

It would be good that this was remedied.

Excellent... Thanks!

By other part, I'm reporting another problem: the menu to choose which
side will play one is not working in Personal Invitations. When you accept
it, the software assigns to you automatically second player. I'm sending
you an invite for Cylindrical Chess so that you can corroborate the issue.

Yes, both pieces have said restriction in such a manner that they follow the same movement pattern like in a standard board formed by squares.

Hope the following diagrams help to clarify the matter:

Surely there is a bug in the Game Courier Game Logs webpage, but you can follow playing by clicking the links of each game from the Game Courier's email alerts.

OK... Enjoy!

What about this setup?

Could it fit, satisfy the lovers of strategic maneuvering taste?

I'm naming it Hexajedrez.

Very accurate your analysis, Kevin. I am definitely more practical than theoretical and would be happy playing with you any hexagonal variant that you like.

Sac Chess. Play classical chess along with classical compound pieces: amazons, chancellors, archbishops...[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

You are welcome, Kevin. A little contribution of mine to your idea. I like it. Introducing into the classical chess gameplay the 6 primary, basic compound pieces.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the preset: if you click in the menu Related --> Rules for Sac Chess, it appears this message: "The Chess Variant Pages: 404 Error - Page not found." Hopefully Fergus or Ben can fix it.

I encourage you to playtest Sac Chess with me as soon as posssible... I'm anxious to see how its game plot would evolve!

📝Carlos Cetina wrote on Tue, Dec 15, 2015 02:30 PM UTC:

Ready! Problem fixed. Thanks, Fergus.

📝Carlos Cetina wrote on Tue, Dec 15, 2015 02:57 PM UTC:

I'm close to enforce the rules for this preset but something is wrong. Fergus: could you please have a look at and test it here? Apparently the code doesnot recognize neither dragon king nor dragon horse nor knight/guard as pieces. Thanks in advance.

Just adding the labels of the new pieces in the corresponding lines of Post Move boxes

elseif match moved Q R B N A M O .RF .BW .NGU:
elseif match moved q r b n a m o .rf .bw .ngu:

the problem remains.

Do you think the following definitions are right?

def O checkride #0 #1 1 0 or checkride #0 #1 1 1 or checkleap #0 #1 1 2;
def .RF checkride #0 #1 1 0 or checkleap #0 #1 1 1 or checkleap #0 #1 1 0;

The code is not gone, the link to the "enforced" preset is this.

O is amazon
.RF is dragon horse = rook or ferz
.BW is dragon king = bishop or wazir
.NGU is knight or guard

Testing the preset by the "MOVE pieces by yourself" resource, looks like the code doesnot recognize such pieces as own for any determined army.

📝Carlos Cetina wrote on Tue, Dec 15, 2015 05:41 PM UTC:

Sorry, .RF is dragon king and .BW is dragon horse (from shogi).

📝Carlos Cetina wrote on Wed, Dec 16, 2015 02:10 PM UTC:

OK, following your advising I changed the Piece Set. The starting setup looks thus: <img src="../membergraphics/MPsacchess/sac_chess.png"> The preset is now working fine except by 2 things: 1. It's not possible to promote pawns because appear a message noting: "This webpage is not available. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN." 2. When you click on the Amazon or on the Centaur (placed on a2/a9, j2/j9) its legal moves are not displayed, and when you click on the destination square it appears a JavaScript window saying: "This move is not marked as legal. Do you still want to try it?", followed by the "Cancell - Accept" alternative links. After clicking "Accept", the move is completed normally. Remember the link for the encoded preset is <a href="http://play.chessvariants.com/pbm/play.php?game=Sac+Chess&settings=default">this</a>.

>That's an unexpected message. It is not programmed into Game Courier, >and I don't know what could be responsible for it. I think it is related with the change of domain from .org to .com because the same happens with the chess preset; so unless you fix this, it won't be possible to promote pawns in games that have enforced theirs rules. >The *L functions for these two are trying to merge three arrays with >only one instance of merge.

I made it. Problem solved. Thanks.

Hi Kevin. Please select "Only Finished Games" in the "Status" menu of the <a href="http://play.chessvariants.com/pbmlogs/index.php">Game Courier Logs Game</a> page; then click "Submit". With the "Age" menu you can choose how far back in time you want to search in the database.

Exactly. Thanks for answering, Fergus. It is not easy for me to express myself in English. I only add that our games are UNTIMED. 

Kevin: I'm sending you a couple of invitations... Enjoy!

Sorry for your troubles. The website is working fine and it has not had any downtime. Hope they will be resolved soon.

Yes, the only difference is that there are two queens per side instead of one. I have already fixed the bug on the link to the ruleset page.

Michel: I have recently signed up on <a href="https://www.jocly.com/#/about">Jocly</a> with the same userid that I use here (sissa) and would like to suggest you to implement two games: <a href="http://www.chessvariants.com/invention/symmetric-chess">Symmetric Chess</a> and Gabriel Maura's <a href="http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/omega.html">Omega Chess</a>, so the number of games available at Jocly would be... 115! Unfortunately, in programming I am completely ignorant, so I have no way to help. If you and JÃ©rÃ´me can do it and think such games are interesting, good; if not, no problem; anyway I will follow enjoying playing in your server.
