Normal: files are numbered from a to o and spaces from bottom to top are named from 1 to 31. Rotated: files are named from 1 to 15, and “ranks” are named alphabetically from bottom, so the lowest are a and the last five (from low to upper) are δ, γ, λ, π and φ (the last).

Why add this confusion of having two different coordinate systems? Just stick to the one that doesn't use Greek letters.

Remade. Getting Ready for Launching…

Remaking Zip is only what I have to do to be sure?

Possibly, but it's not guaranteed. When I find some things that need fixing, I usually stop there without trying to identify everything that needs fixing.

The smaller graphics with separate diagrams for the same piece from different positions are easier to read. This would be helpful for the Zip piece too.

Made that, but Zip is unchanged (is it normal if just two overlaps are there?).

I’ll resize all them & I will try to remake Aanca’s diagram (Zip is not so bad)

Anyway, thx for your attention;)


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Tue, Nov 14, 2023 04:51 PM UTC:

The diagrams are so large, I can get them to fit on the screen only by making the window narrower. So, smaller diagrams would be better. Also, some of the diagrams are too busy, because they include multiple pieces whose powers of movement overlap, which makes it harder to follow movement diagrams. So, it would be helpful to replace these with individual diagrams that show the powers of movement of only one piece at a time.

Diagrams would definitely be helpful, in particular an actual setup diagram.

I've made this. Kinda Saturday is hugely relayed;) view this please and decide FWIW)

It's an interesting board, but I'm not 100% sure how you're intending the pieces to move. Whilst I can sort of guess, I think diagrams would be really helpful here

Have you ever seen the board used in this variant? If you want to see it, read the rules. There are 9 types of pieces with movement adapted for the board, and besides winning by checkmate, you can just race your King to the cockpit & win! Play this neoteric game and enjoy!

P. S. How should I ask for its review?????!!!!

P. P. S. Thank you Bobbie, but I wait an answer of an editor during next week.
