just a couple of questions, when you drop a pawn (cannot check king) you get another turn, but you don't say if that pawn can move again, next turn. i am guessing it can't, it would be a bit tough if it could. i don't understand where you say 'X=Star: Moves 1 space diagonally. When it captures, it says where it is and you get another turn.' do you mean 'stays' instead of 'says', meaning after 'star' captures, it cannot move next turn but another piece can? (same with 'i point').

If the preset does not include code to automatically check if you won, you
can type 'won' if you won, 'drawn' if you drawn, and 'resign' if you
want to resign.

In case it can capture to any square, here is one way to make Missile not
too much powerful: It can only capture to a square if it could move to
that square using a move of a Q or C, but still can't capture a piece on
opponent's first row.

It looks like interesting game. Can you tell how to make up the figures and
rings to play this game? I could also program into computer, in Game
Courier or ZiCH it would probably be hard, but in Zillions I don't know
(I don't have it)

Yes, one thing makes a difference. Oranges should only be capturable by shopping carts.

On a different subject, why differentiate between golden and plastic keyboards?

This page is listed as 8x8 board with 64 squares. But this is just the
index page, it isn't the rules of an actual game. It should be listed as
0x0 board with 0 squares.

There are a couple of points where the wording could be improved. 'If it steps on an opponent piece it is captured and is permanently off the board' seems to imply that the moving piece is captured, rather than the opposing piece. Also, the phrase 'your other Mook' in the description of seeing red could be taken to mean that one must have two Mooks in order to see red.

Two other notes. First, ShoppingCarts should be able to promote on the square where a Rex began, as well as those you list. Second, you only need 71 squares--the last Fire is irrelevant to the play.

I have recently bought a game of Chinese Army Chess from the internet. It consists of 50 tiles 25 which are red and an equal number of black tiles. I have have a copy of the rules, but I have no clue what the Chinese symbols mean on the pieces. Do you know where I can get pictures of the pieces with identity explanation of the Chinese symbols so that I can figure out what the pieces are and be able to play a game? Thanks for your help.

Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) can be connected to without any special
oftware. Connect to freechess.org port 5000. You can also play suicide
chess in here as well as normal chess. I even played against someone in
Alberta, Canada. But that server does not seem to accept backspace, and it
will not repeat what you type in HyperTerminal (even if you enable echo).
Use the other program to connect to it, then it will repeat what you type
and Enter key will work properly as well.

This is good. You can also play all pieces are one of a different type, for
example Super-Hecatomb-Chess is played with Amazons instead of Queens. I
have played Super-Hecatomb against the Java applet 'Exotic Pieces'. Or
play Extreme-Hecatomb-Chess, where the Queens are replaced with pieces can
move as queen or knight-riders, which are a kind of pieces which are too
much powerful.

Tank and Bomb movements seem too slow for a 10x10 game. Please explain Tank power, apart from pushing: Is it 'rifle' capture?

Good game, but I think even blank Drones should be able to move, maybe like
pawns but cannot promote.

12 x 8 = 896 ? That's new.
