Seenschach. Variant on 10 by 10 board with lake in the middle and new pieces. (10x10, Cells: 84) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
Bent Riders. A discussion of pieces, like the Gryphon, that take a step then move as riders.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Another piece I wonder if it ever was used is Nao
Betza notation (extended). The powerful XBetza extension to Betza's funny notation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]woudn't it be a idea for bent riders to use > or <. (example Gryphon would be F>R)
Piececlopedia Guidelines. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I've written a piececlopedia myself about the Unicorn (nightrider-bishop compound) and that got accepted, so you writing an article about the ferfil should be possible too
Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]A nightrider variant of this could be called Noctima
what would camel-then-nightrider be?
I meant the bent rider that moves as Knight first and then camelrider
what would be betza notation for Knight then Camelrider?
Sac Chess. Game with 60 pieces. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]8x8 Anglo-American Draughts is actually solved. Probably most complex game that has that title (I BTW still want to create a site like this but focused on abstract strategy in general)
If regular octogonal chess would be possible?. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Couldn't a better octagonal chess be created on a dotted centered octagonal board?
Nao. Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Man and Beast 12: Alternative Fronts. Systematic naming of pieces using complex mixes of forward, backward, and same-rank moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The Haddock on this page is a pretty weak piece. Of can reach some squares only in 13 moves
Nao. Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I've corrected the diagram
I'm going to research the value soon Bishop-Nightrider compound. Piece that moves like bishop or nightrider.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thanks Fergus. I am really proud for writing this
I've added the value and another name by Gilman. Is this page good enough for Piececlopedia?
Hunterbeest. Large variant with one each of distinctive Nimrod pieces, and of similar set of oblique pieces. (11x10, Cells: 110) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The Zebra+Knight versions of the Hartebeest are bound to 1/4th of the board
Betza Notation. A primer on the leading shorthand for describing variant piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It seems that there are very few to almost no variants having capturing own piece, similarly to how outside XQ there are no variants with a separate checking move (but that has a separate modifier as well). I would suggest making the friendly capture marker hexagonal and the checking marker (currently no marker) octagonal dark red or a crown.
I would use a overlapping red and blue square for cd (I first thought about purple, but that would be too confusing with blue)
Rotary. On a 9 by 9 board with rotating pieces. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Today played a game of Rotary with a set of pieces I made myself. It is a very nice game. The rotational element adds a nice layer of tactics. Only thing that feels weird is the promotion rule
Betza Notation. A primer on the leading shorthand for describing variant piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Another bug, on the movement diagram squares that may be only reached to capture own pieces are labeled red instead of blue.
I also suggest adding the hovering pawn in for pieces like mNmcafsW on the movement diagram
Antelope. Makes (3,4)-jump.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The page still contains the error that this piece moves 4,5
Betza Notation. A primer on the leading shorthand for describing variant piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I've added an example, I will do more when I am back home
Then there is a bug in the XBetza sandbox
EDIT: Here is the piece at the computer I'm currently using
