Big Battle. Commercial chess variant on 10 by 10 board. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I know this is a really old commercial variant from the late-90s, but the moves of the Queen and the Prince should be swapped. That way, the Queen (=Amazon) remains the most powerful piece, and it makes sense to have two Princes (=Queen) and one Queen (=Amazon), instead of two Princes (=Amazon) and one Queen (=Queen).
Yangsi. A very playable chess variant with 12 different pieces on a 10x10 board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]See the Ai Ai tag at the bottom of the page.

The 12x12 Yangsi idea could be interesting, but I think Gross Chess kind of already has that covered.
Also, what is Ai Ai? I've never heard of it before.

I changed the link Description (which appears in searches and next to the title in the comments, etc.) to be more descriptive, but let me know if you'd like it changed.
Alright, I've fixed the images. This should be ready for publication now!
Pandemonium (Surajang修羅場). Capablanca chess + Crazyhouse.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Okay, I closed the A tags, and now the text is no longer red in regular mode, and it's no longer blue in Reader mode.
Ben Reiniger wrote on Mon, Sep 27, 2021 08:39 PM UTC:The red is because the text is now wrapped in an <a> tag, and hovering over that changes the text color.
thank you!!
But for some reason, the text often looks red. hmm
I fixed the problem by no longer enclosing each section in SECTION tags.
It might be. It looks like Safari's Reader mode makes inappropriate decisions about what to exclude. In another page I looked at, it showed the Pieces section but skipped the Rules section. My advice would be to not use its Reader mode on this site. It should be unnecessary anyway, since mobile pages here leave out sidebar ads.
Ummm... is this an unsolvable problem?
On my iPad, Safari's Reader mode is skipping the whole Pieces section. Without Reader mode, things look fine in both Safari and Chrome. I also tried Firefox's Reader mode on my Likebook Mars. It did not skip the Pieces section, though it did mess up your ASCII diagram.
Grand Apothecary Chess-Classic. Very large Board variant obtained trough tinkering with known games.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@HG, In the context of my before the previous example I think the ":" symbol does not influence the preset although it works fine in the interactive diagram!
Pandemonium (Surajang修羅場). Capablanca chess + Crazyhouse.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]As you said, I changed the file name to English, but I still can't see the pictures related to the piece move on mobile...
If I use Safari browser's reader view, I can't see all the descriptions in 'Pieces'
However, if I hide the reader view, the shape of the picture is broken.
Try using only alphanumeric and punctuation characters found in ASCII in your file names. Korean letters may not be recognized by all software.
All descriptions of Pieces are not visible on mobile. (Other pictures are visible, but only the pictures related to the Piece move are not visible)
How to solve it?

Two Move Chess. Designed to alleviate the first move advantage for White using double moves, while retaining the tactics of international chess.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have posted Python code that validates games of Two Move Chess on Github at https://github.com/tedlf/two-move-chess.
This code leverages the python-chess module. In addition to validation, it was used to generate the board images used in the examples in these rules.

The preset (here : https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DGrand+Apothecary+Chess+1%26settings%3DApplet) does not apply the shuffle algorithm as the interactive diagram does. Normally the nightrider and warlock should shuffle on the left side and then mirror in the right side and then mirror for black. Initially they were not shuffling at all.
I have added this piece of code before calling the shuffling algorithm: (Y W) // shuffleset 0 0
And now sometimes it shuffles the pieces on the same side. Meaning 2 warlock on the right and two knighriders on the left. Probably this is because I do not undersand the meaning of the 2 zeros.
The Starbound Sliders. A Chess With Different Armies team featuring rook-inspired sliders.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It's an artifact of ChessCraft's UI. The numbers represent promotion squares.
I'll change the image to remove them, as they don't add any useful information.
