I stumbled across 'GC Preset for Reche's Super Faceoff Masquerade' again, and I'm wondering again how to recognize in the course of the game how an a-Rook takes as Knight, h-Rook as Bishop; b-Knight takes as Bishop, g-Knight as Rook; c-Bishop as Rook, f-Bishop as Knight (according to the description). 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?

(Which would mean that the Chancellor would not appear at all)

Thank you for your attention. I got the diagonals mixed up here. I have corrected it.

So if I understand correctly, the diagonals thing is just the procedure for how you've generated what during gameplay is a static morphing table? Rather than having any dynamic effect during gameplay

Yes, of course, the players must be able to follow a morphing rule - at least in this game. A dynamic rule is perhaps the next step.

Regarding 'Crossroads' and 'Morphomania', I think I've done some improvements; is there anything left to do?

Are you really sure about the name ‘Kinginv’?

Actually, yes. I wanted to keep the term king, because it's a piece that can move like a king, but without the status. 'Man' or something else didn't seem appropriate to me.

But Kinginv is not a word, ..

Okay, here I took my orientation from the PTA, where I found the term 'Kinginv'. If it wasn't in use, then I wonder how it gets into the PTA. I can't imagine that H.G. would include a name that is not in common use. That confuses me a bit.

... it's an icon name ...

In the selection table of the PTA, 'Kinginv' appears under the heading 'name'.

💡📝Gerd Degens wrote on Thu, May 9 05:36 PM UTC in reply to Fergus Duniho from 05:29 PM:

Either way, everyone knows. I would like the character to be called "Kinginv" and not "Man". Is that a problem? Calling an inverse king symbol 'Man' goes against the grain.

That is precisely why!

💡📝Gerd Degens wrote on Thu, May 9 07:12 PM UTC in reply to Fergus Duniho from 07:07 PM:

Is this perhaps a matter of opinion?

When I see an inverted King, that's the piece I think of.

Well, I was not familiar with Anti-King Chess, as most people here probably are. But of course I don't want to confuse some people here, even though they will be very rare. So I've changed that and now use the 'Duke'. That should solve the problem, shouldn't it?

May I ask discreetly whether anything is still missing in terms of 'Morphomania' and 'Crossroads'?

💡📝Gerd Degens wrote at 11:56 AM UTC in reply to Bn Em from 10:12 AM:

I think that the table diagrams I use show the morphing possibilities quite well. But I readily admit that there can be different forms of presentation. I have opted for these and would welcome it if it could stay that way.
