This looks like it could be an interesting game. In Ultima, a Withdrawer moves like a Queen but captures by moving away from a piece, and Withdrawer is an appropriate name for that piece, because it describes how it captures. But you have a Withdrawer defined as an FDA, which I believe Betza referred to as a Fad. Did you mean to use this piece with this name?


Mirko Mirko wrote on Thu, Dec 15, 2022 03:18 PM UTC in reply to Fergus Duniho from Tue Dec 13 01:21 AM:

Hi, thanks for the comment, I put the Withdrawer piece without the name consideration for only personal use, this latest variant Is again under construction due to solve some fixes.

Aren't the Capablanca clearly stronger?

You may try to play against the RFA & BWD!

Hi, this is my private space where I put my works, many of these experimental... don't take it too seriously :)

What is the RFA & BWD?


Aurelian Florea wrote on Sat, Dec 17, 2022 04:43 PM UTC in reply to Mirko Mirko from 04:39 PM:

Those are Betza notations!


Kevin Pacey wrote on Sat, Dec 17, 2022 05:20 PM UTC:

For one source, here's a wiki on Betza notation that may help. The most complicated stuff can be ignored by those not yet eager to get into the most theoretical aspects of chess variants, in my humble opinion.

For example, useful to everyone early on is knowing that A stands for the leaper Alfil (a fairly weak piece normally, that has a very long history) - then (2,2) means it leaps 2 cells diagonally in any direction on a board, either moving to an empty cell or capturing an enemy piece on that cell:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betza%27s_funny_notation#:~:text=Betza%20notation%20is%20used%20in,actual%20notation%20for%20the%20piece.


Aurelian Florea wrote on Sat, Dec 17, 2022 05:47 PM UTC in reply to Mirko Mirko from 04:39 PM:

So, hello again Mirko! Thank Kevin for the explanations. I just wanted to point out that a nicer game is one where the two armies are balanced!


H. G. Muller wrote on Sat, Dec 17, 2022 05:50 PM UTC:

Better, of course, is to look at the article on Betza notation here.


Mirko Mirko wrote on Sat, Dec 17, 2022 06:44 PM UTC in reply to Aurelian Florea from 05:47 PM:

Thanks to all for the sources given :)

Yeah, the game is a little unbalanced but not useless, you can see it also as a test-board for handicap-mode match.
