Do you do all these graphics on Blender? I was wondering how long it takes to master Blender.

Gaugamela Chess. Asymmetric warfare that mirrors the famous battle of Gaugamela. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Ok. Done. Let's hope that everyone is happy now.
Do you mean something like this?
This is the best I can do. I still want to keep the Knights on the right side to match the battle formation at Gaugamela.
But it is not clear to me what the 'perfection' is. The 'Fortress Chess' setup looks much more convenient. A Knight on g1/b8 is awkwardly placed; it seems much better to swap those with the Rooks on e1/d8. And the Bishops in the original also seem more easy to develop.
A Rook, or a Queen placed next to a King will ensure it will stay out of the game for a long time. I believe that the Knights are perfectly placed next to the Kings, and also matching the historical battle mentioned above. I hope, you remember that the famous battle of Gaugamela was decided by the King, and the Companion Cavalry, placed on the right flank.
Regarding the Bishops, I have to thing about that. But if I place the Queen on b1, wouldn't it be too unprotected against so many Pawns?
I wouldn't start an article with a large diagram of another Chess variant.
I have to agree with you here, and I'll make the changes right away.

Gaugamela Chess. Asymmetric warfare that mirrors the famous battle of Gaugamela. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This page has very simple rules and needs no further polishing. Please check it out for review.
Diagram Editor with scalable graphics. An easy-to-use tool for drawing boards and pieces of any size and color.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Ah, of course, the PTA is using the PNG pieces, not the SVG, and in particular the 35x35 set. I now have added the stone there too.
Sorry to bother you again, but I still can't find them in the set. Am I doing something wrong?
Ok. I'll give it a try. Could you update the set of pieces on both these pages please? I still can't find the Stone pieces and I want to see which one works best.
As I said below, I am using this as a game simulation for Territorial Chess, a combination of Chess and Go.
Thank you. It looks cool, but it only appears on Diagram Designer. I don't know if I can use it on this page anyway because I can't find a way to remove pieces without defined moves from the board. While trying to remove some checker pieces I realised that I can't do a proper simulation.
Maybe I'll do it on Diagram Designer and modify the FEN Code as many times as it takes. I don't see another way.
Your set on this page only has 4 pieces.
Checker pieces are good too, but I thought that Go stones would look cooler. Thank you anyway.
It would be great if someone could add Go stones to one of the piece sets. In order to finalise the rules for Territorial Chess I need to do some visual game simulations. To do that on Diagram Designer would be too time consuming, because I have to change the FEN Code for every inserted/removed piece. Thanks.
Camelopard Chess. 
Game with Camelopards. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]You need to edit Metadata for this page.
12x12 = 144.
HnefaChess. The best combination of Chess and Hnefatafl. (Cells: 228) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This page doesn't show up in the Alphabetical Index because the group "Hn" does not exist yet. Could anybody solve this problem please?

A game with a pretentious title that adds nothing to chess. I don't care how famous the author was. If "the answer to everything is 42", the author refuses to further explain his reason for choosing such a number.
Of course, the elites know what 42 really means, and are terrified.
