I am logged in!
Unfortunately I don't see the menu, see here:
Thank you in the meantime.
@ editors: I would like to set my suggestion 'Toggle Chess' to 'Private'. Unfortunately the selection menu 'Edit this Page', 'Edit Metadata for this Page' etc. is missing. Is it possible to restore the selection menu?

@H.G.: Can you imagine adding a selection menu to the 'Create holes' button that allows you to choose the colour of the 'black holes'? In addition to black, white or perhaps beige would be very suitable. A colour selector like the one provided by MS Office would be more than ideal :-). Because with these holes you can create very nice suggestions. Black is a bit harsh.

@Richard Milner:
Do we want to continue our games?
In my opinion, we should end the games 'Queenmania (conquer style)' and 'Queens (conquer style)' because the perpetual recaptures cannot be solved. As long as there is no counter for this problem that ends the repetitions, we will go round in circles. (Perhaps the protagonists of the scene will realize this at some point).
How do you see it?
I would like my game ideas to be playable on other platforms as well. Is it possible to realize ideas on github/jocly as well? My visits there leave me perplexed and wondering how to get there.
Could someone please tell me what needs to be done?

@H.G.: Is it possible to work with two different pawns (e.g. berolina pawn and asian pawn) that are both promoted on the opponent's base line? I think they should have different IDs (I'm thinking of GC), but how does the PTA recognize different IDs for promotion?
And what if both pawns have the same ID, but they should be morphed differently.
Can't find the solution. Thanks for an answer.

(9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Morphing Chess II. A game with upgrades and downgrades. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@H.G.
A quick note: When trying to add the variant to Game Courier, I noticed that the PTA (old/new) did not convert the pawns in the GAME code - see 'set morphers' and 'set morphs assoc'. This was easy to fix, but it seems that the automatic conversion can still be improved.
I have added the Game Courier solution to the description.
Short description
Pawns that reach the a- or i-file are promoted as follows:
On the squares
a2, a8, i2, i8 they become a chancellor,
a3, a7, i3, i7 they become an archbishop and on
a4, a6, i4, i6 they become a queen.
If a pawn reaches the squares a1, a9, i1, i9, it becomes an amazon.
The king also promotes on the a- or i-file, maintaining its royal position and royal appearance as follows: from
a1, a9, i1, i9 the king is moving as an amazon, on
a2, a8, i2, i8 as a chancellor, on
a3, a7, i3, i7 as an archbishop and on
a4, a6, i4, i6 as a queen.
On the 5th rank, all pieces take on the function of a pawn, with the rook, knight, bishop, queen, archbishop, chancellor and amazon also mutating into pawns in appearance, while the king retains its function and royal presence.
The rook, knight, bishop and queen pieces are not upgraded during the game; they are downgraded on the 5th rank as described, but can be upgraded as pawns in the manner described above.
A king that has been given the move possibilities of a pawn on the 5th rank retains them for the rest of the game.
@H.G.
Could you please take a look at my new idea.
I'm not sure if I've done it right because of the morph combinations. Thank you very much.
Morphing Chess. Upgrading and downgrading take place in the morph zone.

A completely new matter for me. Now I understand that - it works.
