When I was kid I watched much TV and consequently thought that bell peppers are spicy, because they’re peppers. Until I tried.

Now I’m almost a vegetarian for several years, and I often eat salads with it.

which means that my Zip is 11th both in your wall and in its home game

and I write this text while using the 11th line of our underground, which was the shortest when I started to learn the metro scheme several years ago, but now it’s the longest circle line in the world

I wasn't sure I could get an effective model for this, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I think the result is of a decent caliber.

Yeah, the model is effective and turn-able. Caliber is kinda acceptable.

I'm not sure I got all the letters in the right order in the last section, but I've no doubt someone will chime in if I messed it up.

It’ll be fW4bWsmWsmpafabcduW. It’s the first time when I fix XBetza because I know where my Shieldholder with such a technic is coded, and taken that code (though then added d to make it push all pieces)

Generally such a technic of pushing is like switching bullets in revolver:

Can we test the balance of this army against FIDEs? I’ve played against Daniel Zacharias as white Amphibies and won easily. Then I decided to make them black. How it’s now?

Loop Chess, watch in What’s New.

I cannot quite understand that, as a Bishop (in this game) cannot access any square that a rook cannot.

At least Bishop can jump while Rook cannot.

Also you can favorite the game as I did.

Your bFfhNfA can be called a Double Sword Aborigine (or something other with understanding that it’s forward Kangaroo + backward Ferz), and your fWbrFfD7lfNfrblA as Right Gun-Layer (looks very similar to optical gun), and its mirror will be Left GL.

My idea: because you call FA the Modern Elephant, I call WD the Modern Dabbaba, or better Modern War Machine.

The two rooks, bishops and knights do not differ and can no longer be distinguished in the course of the game. How is a strategic game supposed to come about then?

You can differ them:

  • in offline play by sticky markers;
  • in online by notation used.

BTW I have recently done the rules page.

I still have Astra (Rosetta) on your queue, but also I’ve recently created Astromech (even squares diagonally or odd ones orthogonally, AA[W?DD]). Try to guess who is Astromech)
