This Game is for the Birds. Game where pieces fly past obstacles and some pieces capture by pecking. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This is a strange and very mobile game, where pieces ghost around freely, and a Pawn's life is not a happy one. Flamingos and Flaming Cranes in particular have a short way with threatening Pawns -- the Pawn moves up, and is pecked, and that's that.

A minor question -- if a Crane has not moved, but pecks at a piece from its starting place, can it still castle? Also, when castling long, would a piece at b2/8 still block castling?
