Dear friends!I would like show to You shortest  'fool mat' in Grand and
Gothic Chess.
Shortest mat in Grand Chess!

1.Rook jf1- Cardinal f7(Moves like B+N)
2.Rook ad1- Cardinal e6
3.Cardinal e1 -Marshall e7(Moves like R+N)
4.c4          -Cardinal d4x

Shortest mat in Gothic Chess (Opening set up)- R,N,B,Q,M,K,C,B,N,R. In
Gothic Chess Marshall(moves like R+N-named Chancellor),Cardinal(moves
like
B+N-named Archbishop)

1.Ch3-f5
2.Ai5-h6
3.Ag6x.

I think it is good example shows us where safety of King is higher. In
Grand Chess safety of King is higher then in Gothic Chess.

In my previous notes I showed shortest mat (if both sites desire to do
this) in Classic Chess 2 moves(1.f4-e6,2.g4-Qh4x),Gothic Chess 2,5
moves(1.Cardinal(Archbishop in Gothic Chess)h3 -f5,2.Cardinali5
-h6,3.Cardinalg6x and in Grand Chess 4 moves
1.Rjf1-Cf7,2.Rad1-Ce6,3.Ce1-M(Marshal)e7,4.c4-Cd4x. I offerd that,if
'fool mat' is shortest, then safety of a King for this game is
less.Because one small mistake may be catastrophic.In Grand Chess
probability quick mat in beggining is smaller.
For classic Chess safety for a King will be -2(moves)/64(number of all
squares chess board 8x8)=0.03125, for Gothic Chess -2.5/80(board
8x10)=0.03125, for Grand Chess -4/100(board 10x10)=0.04.We see in Grand
Chess safety of a King is higher.

Dear sir! Thank You for Yours comment about Grand Chess 2.But I would like
to dispute some Yours positions. In my opinion Amazon,General or Mahardja
is not bad piece if it can a chechmate the king alone.It even brings some
interesting moment to the game.For example:the velosity,dynamics and
complication to the game. Christian Freelings Grand Chess is
beatiful,fantastic,famous game and nobody deny this, because this game is
step ahead over classic chess. In one variant this game(Grand Chess 2)
main purpose was: preserve all classic chess endgames ideas( including
pawns promotion in last line) plus to complete all pieces combination to
the logical ending.You are right about name of this game,may be it will
be
better if it named like 'Grand Chess variant'. In any way,only time and
practise can show the possibilites of this variation of game.

In view of principle of 'exception of two identical pieces in one number from three squares' is possible to offer 2 more variants of initial position in Symchess.(In view of preservation of the order R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R).

o o o o o o o o o o-3rd row,

U R N B Q K B N R U-2nd row,

A(d1)..C(g1)-1st row (I variant)

o o o o o o o o o o-3rd row,

R N U B Q K B U N R-2nd row,

A(c1)... C(h1)-1st row (II variant)

First of them can be rejected from aesthetic reasons (normal castling impossible). The second has lack. Total of protection of pawns - it is minimal(2x4+2x3+6x1=20). Opening setup from Symchess and Sam Trenholmes` variant for Symchess are the optimal because, the total sum of protection of pawns is maximal(=22) and also all pawns are protected.


💡📝Namik Zade wrote on Wed, Mar 22, 2006 08:01 PM EST:
Thanks for yours comments about arrangement of a Archbishop and a
Chancellor on squares c1 and h1. If we shall arrange them on squares d1
and g1 then,some pawns will be in general without protection. For this
reason in my second variant and  Sam Trenholmes variant A and C are
located on squares c1 and h1.For example:

o o o o o o o o o o
R N U B Q K B U N R
      A     C
In this case pawns protection -1 0 2 2 5 5 2 2 0 1(Ad1, Cg1)

o o o o o o o o o o
R U N B Q K B N U R
      A     C
In this case pawns protection -2 0 2 1 6 6 1 2 0 2(Ad1,Cg1)
and some pawns are not protected.In comments I have corrected a technical
mistake for first variant setup.

After consideration 'fool mat' of David Paulowich for Symchess I have decided to write the small comic story on the basis of David Paulowichs mat. 'Foolest mat' - Once the King has decided to begin a war with neighbour. Despite of objection of the general and the queen, he has solved to throw in fight infantry. 1. g5 - The answer was a shy move of the opponent 1....f7 - 'My opponent obviously is afraid to me!' and with the purpose to embarras adversary, he has decided to go to fight himself. 2. Kg3 - But, the adversary unexpectedly conrary to the chess theory has engaged to action very strong piece. 2...Qg7 - The King was obstinate and also has ordered to borrow the throne with Queen while there is a war! 3. Qf2 - But the ending was unexpected sad for him. 3...Qxg5 Checkmat! For poor King the 'war' was not simple business.

Lion in this game it is a Cannon, I could`n find in Alfair historiacal pieces, something similar. I will try change leo to Cannon.Yours Demon setup is very powerful and against this powerfull setup I put little strengthened setup of Symchess. I think this battle will be very interesting. From one side great force from another some strange pieces (Cannons). But I think common result will be not good for Black.

It is the Cannon. In alfaire pieces unfortunately I cudn`t find piece similar to Cannon. But I think Queen + Amazon > 2 Cannons. War machine = Cannon from Xianqi. But anyway it will be very interesting to test both variants. I tested Yours Demon game I played several games. I have questiont to you if You will change places Knights and Bishops? In this case,knight will have good mobility. It was problem for me when I played Demon game.

Hi,Claudio. In my opinion optimal setup it means symmetry in all cases as a chess is symmetric by the nature. Good example Classical Chess,1.Setup-White-Black, 2.White or Black (right and left flanks),3.Pawns protection,4.Pieces density, 50% free squares and 50% non-free (Capablanca chess 8x10,Classic Chess8x8 and so on).For a board 10x10 if we use 25 pieces from each side(then 50% pieces density) the setup will be not symmetrical and increasing quantity of pieces for exp. 28-30 from each side will increase duration of a game and positions to become too heavy and I think 48%-52% pieces density is okey in this case. For exp. L.Smith`s Demon Chess -48%, Samarcanda Chess -52%, Opulent Chess -48% and so on.

Of course, this method doesn`t show us which game is better. All Chess variants are good enought. It is just for comparison analyses. If somebody like to play Orthodox Chess then he can choose something similar (pieces density, pieces influence and so on) with using this method.
