I have tested it playing a couple of games against Zillions, and the game play is very nice, strategy and tactics are -sui generis- , adapted to the rules of this excellent game.
It's always nice to see a chess variant when you win in yet another new, exciting way. However, I do have one question...would this game be drawish? I can imagine quite a few scenarios where there's a giant blood-bath and soon there aren't enough pieces left for this player to win. If I knew this game wasn't drawish, I'd rate it excellent.
Thanks for the information. I have now rated Decima 'Excellent'. I would probably play the Zillions file right now, if I had ZoG on my computer. Dang! Why does Zillions of Games have to cost money, though? I'd download it right away if it were free.
This game is really interesting. it should be good a Preset in Game Courier.
Very nice! You were able to submit an update with the user-submission system, and the editors had no problem moving the existing comments to the new page. It is indeed a new age at the CVP! The idea of Decima is very nice. The number 10 is included in an interesting way, via the point values, and these values also have a very nice way of helping to level the value of the pieces. What the material value of the pieces should be relative to the pawn would be very difficult to determine. But, this helps to add interest to the game ...
This looks like a good game. The learning curve is low, and the game includes an intriguing new winning condition that incorporates the number 10.
