Stockman, This is not a right place to ask, but what is the link of your video?
How to use the self destruction of Swapper in game courier? I am playing a game and my opponent is unable to use this feature.
Sam, Creating a new chess variants is 'trivial'. Yea it is as trivial as writing a poetry. Anybody can write down some matching words in five minutes but a good poetry is something non-trivial. Same goes here!
'Not all of my games are jokes, you know.' Question is that whether this particular variant is a joke or not, it is not about your other variants.
One can not move into check although the rules states that the goal of the game is to capture the opponent king, not to checkmate it.
Nicholas, it is good to see that you are already authoring interesting variants :)
CWDA is one of the best chess variant there is. The best point about it the main concept is simple yet deep and brilliant. It is certainly the most chess like variant. In Betza's language 'Heavy duty chess'. Another variant which may come close to this realization of 'brilliant yet simple idea', is the Kamikaze Shogi variant by Fergus.
There was one Chess with different armies tournament 2001. As far as I know none has been arranged after that. I was wondering if people are interested in another one. Let me know and we can continue this discussion.
H.G. Muller, Many many thanks for the end games table bases. I also thought it would be similar that in QKFFK game , Q wins. Please let us know more. Indeed a very interesting research.
What happens with a KRKW endgame, I guess it is a draw just like KRKN endgame.
Anybody like to play this army? Although I do not really like the nightrider piece I can still play with it. Nightrider is always a problem and it is difficult to calculate with it :). Another queen variant which is short range is NBD or NAFD.
Nice to see you back. When you were not around I found this cite and become a fan of CWDA.
Joe joyce, Hope we will play this games sometimes. best, Pallab
I use Linux and run ZOG very successfully through wine. It is almost 100% perfect with no glitches and problems.
Is there a ready made setup for chess with different armies ? Thanks for answering,
I am testing with a modified preset

But whenever I tried to actually play a RR vs FF preset appears, not my modified army. I would appreciate any help.
I am wondering why that is so? I don't clearly see anything in the code that precludes mixed pieces.
Just like to point out.

In this game, I was white and I won the game. However the game courier shows that my opponenet won the game.

It seems that I can not take back moves in my games.
