The Bermuda Chess Angle. Pieces can vanish in a central grid (The Bermuda Chess Angle) depending on dice-determined coordinates. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This is to thank Mike Nelson for taking time to comment and also to confirm
his correct conclusion regarding the following two scenarios. 

Mike asked:

1. If a Knight leaps another piece on c3 and c3 is the BCAF, then both the
Knight and the piece leaped over disappear?

2. If a piece captures another piece on d5 and d5 is the BCAF, the
captured piece does not reappear?

The answer in both cases, as Mike correctly deduced, is that both pieces
vanish.

An easy way to visualize this would be to imagine the BCAF (Bermuda Chess
Angle Factor) as creating a momentary hole in the board.  A piece
presently on the hole will disappear, the piece moving onto [or through,
or over] also disappears.  Immediately after the disappearances the square
returns to normal. 

Also see the game rules (Rule #3 and Rule #4).
