I can't seem to submit a new game. I received the error below and could not proceed to Step 2:

Error: You must specify a User ID. Please press the 'Back' button and enter your user id.

I could not select anything under "Your user id". There is nothing for me to select. So, until this issue is resolved, I am not able to submit any new chess variant.

@Ben, thanks. It works now. I've posted a new chess variant already.

Thanks, Fergus. I've removed "Tournament" from the title.


Ascension. 6x6 board with two Kings that promote to royal Queens.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Thanks Greg for your question.

I have not thought much about whether the royal Queen can move through a square where it would be put in check. Since in orthodox chess, the King can never move into a square where it will be in check even when castling, then it is a natural extension that it should also be true for a royal Queen. This will restrict the possible squares that a royal Queen can move into, and limit its power.

I will add a note in the promotion rules to clarify this matter.

To the person who created the playable setup, thanks a lot.

However, when I was playing it, I noticed that there was a bug in the castling - the King disappeared!

I've added piece move descriptions for "Queen Chess" and removed "Tournament" from the link name under Notes. I'm unable to edit the Item ID to remove "tournament" from the URL. I would need a site admin to help me do that.

Item is ready for publication once "Tournament" is removed from the Item ID and associated URLs.
