hi,
i'm working on a new variant - 21st century chess - but am having a
problem with the zrf. does anyone feel like taking a look?

it's 16 files by 9 ranks. i'm trying to introduce long-range, 'gun'
type pieces; an extension of the gun and machinegun pieces found in the
variant, 'chess battle'... but i'm fairly lost in the .zrf code...
cobbling pieces of code together for the gun capture-type of moves from
'chess battle'... i'm not sure if i have the moves codes for the
various slides correct.

i need the standard rook/bishop/queen slide, plus the chinese cannon (vao
and pao) slide, and the slide move for a piece which slides but doesn't
capture... only moves along blank squares... such pieces capture using the
'gun capture' move instead...

anyway the message i'm getting is, 'while reading a true/false
condition, the following non-piece-attribute was encountered: 'empty''






thanks in advance for any help,
andy

Hi Andy!  Good luck with your ZRF.  I should caution you that the name
'Twenty-first Century Chess' has already been used by G.P.Jelliss (1991)
and Karl Munzlinger (2001).

I'm having trouble writing a ZRF for a game that I'd like to test. I need a piece to change types when landing on square that will be undefended. But using not-defended? doesn't work because the square is defended by the piece that could move there. So, is there an easy way to do this?

Adrian, probably the right place to post your question is http://zillionsofgames.com/discus/
