Yes you can. I sent you a new invitation


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Wed, Dec 30, 2020 07:15 AM UTC:

I have tried with another browser and it is the same.


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Tue, Dec 29, 2020 09:22 PM UTC:

What I see is this: A Personal Invitation for Jean-Louis Cazaux to play shako_balbo.

I am invited by wdtr2 I see in his personal information that he his marked as "dead" in the database. Could it be the root cause of the problem?

Hello

Now, I got this:

This invitation seems to be for someone else. $userid, which is , does not match $opponent, which is timurthelenk. $userid, which is , does not match $_SESSION["userid"], which is timurthelenk.

I am invited to play Shako Balbo but curiously when I try it says This invitation seems to be for someone else.

Just a small correction while reading the rules: it should be written "En passant" not "En passent".

Sorry, I went too fast. For the U, could you put a Rhinoceros instead of a Unicorn? The rest is OK, Buffalo / Wildebeest is good


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Mon, Dec 28, 2020 04:12 PM UTC:

That's very good. Thank you


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Mon, Dec 28, 2020 09:26 AM UTC in reply to Zhedric Meneses from 02:47 AM:

@Greg: thanks a lot. 2 things:

  1. the back crocodile is indeed missing

  2. for the buffalo, I don't like the symbolic combined animal, it is not the spirit of that set. Could you replace it by the Ox ?

For cazauxgraphics, it is a very good question, I'm glad you ask because I had made this set >20 years ago for my 1st book and it is ugly for many pieces. I have much better, also much more complete, I'll send to you by PM.

Thanks again


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Sun, Dec 27, 2020 07:02 PM UTC:

OK yes, maybe it's simpler. The context is I notice that I have a full series of chessvariants (Shako, Metamachy, Teramachy, Gigachess II, Terachess II, Heavy C, Very Heavy C.) where I use 26 different pieces. So I wanted to make a set, using Alfaerie, and I was thinking expending Metamachy set for that.

This set has 12 pieces already; B, C, E, G, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R. The new pieces would be: (you can look at https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/terachess-ii)

A >> Amazon (QN)

D >> Duchess (KDAGH) (the Alfaerie for Falcon or for Duke would make it)

F >> buFFalo (NCZ)

H >> marsHal (RN)

J >> centaur or Judge (KN)

O >> sOrceress (leO). I use a star (8 legs) I don't know if there is one in Alfaerie

S >> admiral or Sailor (RK)

T >> Troll (GH+pawn) (the Alfaerie for Man maybe?)

U >> rhinoceros or Unicorn (W-then-B)

V >> crocodile or Vao (please put a crocodile not a bended cannon)

W >> War machine (WD)

X >> cardinal/archbishop (BN)

Y >> missionarY (BK)

Z >> giraffe or Zaraffa (Z)(please put a giraffe not a zebra)

Is it feasible? Thank you

Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Sun, Dec 27, 2020 02:03 PM UTC:

Still trying to understand how-to-do things. How can I edit the Set "Metamachy" in order to add more pieces ? Or maybe only editors can do it?


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Fri, Dec 25, 2020 06:56 PM UTC in reply to Greg Strong from 06:35 PM:

Yes, it looks correct. Thank you

But personally, I'm unable to see anything with the abstract pieces, even for the simpler ones. I understand how it works, it is a perfect logic, but it is a strong effort for my brain to decode what is seen by my eyes. I don't know if other people have other experience, probably they have.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Joyeux Noël !

The preset for Very Heavy Chess seems now ready. Thanks to Greg and all friends for your help.


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Fri, Dec 25, 2020 10:29 AM UTC in reply to Greg Strong from 01:32 AM:

Thank you Greg, it helps.

How can I add new pieces in the Sac set. What I would like to add are the 4 shown by Zhedric, they are fine for RKN and BKN. Letters can be H and T respectively (Heroine / Templar).

Merry Christmas everyone


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Thu, Dec 24, 2020 08:58 PM UTC:

Practically where and how "open" the Sac set? My question is probably trivial, but I can't find how to do it. I believe it is not complicated but...


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Thu, Dec 24, 2020 08:48 PM UTC:

Yes Greg your second option would make it.

How to add them to the Sac set?


Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Thu, Dec 24, 2020 07:28 AM UTC:

Trying to make a preset for Very Heavy Chess, I would like to expend the Set "Sac Chess" with 2 pieces: a Templar (BKN) and a Heroine (RKN). I don't know how to do. It would be good also to have corresponding icons for those pieces in the Alfaerie type, similar to what has been done (for me) on the Chess Board Painting Tool that I have used to make the graphics on the Very Heavy Chess page. Thanks for any help

Thank you Greg. I would like to revise the text of Toulousain Chess and Perfect12. Maybe I can try the HTML, I do it for my own website.


Very Heavy Chess. A lot of firepower with all compounds of classical chess pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
💡📝Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on Wed, Dec 23, 2020 06:54 PM UTC in reply to Kevin Pacey from 06:46 PM:

I think we are a bit attracted by the same concepts. Very Heavy Chess is maybe really too much and at the end boring. First tries I made with ZoG didn't show that but time will tell. Using compounds of FIDE pieces is also a direction I had in mind for my family of CV beyond Metamachy and Zanzibar.
