Man and Beast 03: From Ungulates Outward. Systematic naming of the simplest Oblique Pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]For reason I don't know, I don't see the full diagrams: I only see the boards and the piece in its middle, but the possible moves are not shown.

Caïssa Britannia. British themed variant with Lions, Unicorns, Dragons, Anglican Bishops, and a royal Queen. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This game does not yet an interactive diagram, despite being a popular game here. @HG, Should I attempt one how do I write the shades function for this one (and for myself in another how do I do it with 4 shades -yellow and silver not just silver with yellow at the same ranks as cherry and silver at the same ranks with dark blue- although I know Fergus does not consider this necessary)?. Also for the Royal piece what should I do? I remember you guiding wdtr2 in something similar.
It does have one in the comments
Found it. Thanks Kelvin!
HG, I still have not understood how you implemented the three shades or how I would implement 4 shades :)!

The script does have an internal variable, though, that you can set by adding extra JavaScript on the page, like
<script>oddShade = "#E04040";</script>
This would define an alternative startShade for the dark squares with odd coordinates.
There is no provision for an alternative lightShade.
and for myself in another how do I do it with 4 shades -yellow and silver not just silver with yellow at the same ranks as cherry and silver at the same ranks with dark blue- although I know Fergus does not consider this necessary
I consider it not just unnecessary but undesirable. I already tried Cavalier Chess with four colors back when I created it, and it was harder to make sense of than a three-color board. Besides that, this game's board uses the three colors of the British flag. Any fourth color would be arbitrary and make the board look less British.
Renaissance chess. a game played with the same board and set but with different rules. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]very interesting have noticed this when i was collating material on renaissance chess some time ago , didn't realise there's an actual different version of chess, thank you for the page Renaissance Chess

(10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@Fergus, For this game is perfect, the way you did it. I meant as an option. I see it better is 4 colors when I move knight riders. At least on a 12x12. That is it, and it is not possible anyway with the interactive diagram. It is possible with presets and tried a picture and liked it.

Man and Beast 03: From Ungulates Outward. Systematic naming of the simplest Oblique Pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Yeah, among all 21 MAB articles,I could not see complete movement diagram with full capture and not capture move.
Play Metamachy on Game Courier. Play this large game with a variety of regular fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@Fergus, I think the best way to open the way for me to creating a zanzibar-s preset would be if you can expand the metamachy piece set with the few other pieces needed for zanzibar-s. This way I do not have do do a lot of workaround caused by the need to change the names of pieces (as allfaerie many has other letters).

I've done nothing yet Jean-Louis. I'm trying to make as professional as possible!

It seems problematic to me that a player can guarantee that he will never lose, in a trivial way.
