Re: Musketeer Chess Tournament
For your information, I'm working on a new "Play mode" feature for the Board Painter. You should be able to start a game with a subset of pieces (Classic, Musketeer, personal setup...) and then send a board with all positions by email or any message app, just a link to share. No rules con...

Re: Musketeer Chess Tournament
So this is a computer assisted tournament? It doesn't sound like anything that I would be interested in. PBEM is Play by Email, as opposed to PBM (Play by Mail). Because we both learned to play chess in the late 1960's we use English descriptive notation and Board Painter to facilitate movement not...

Re: NextGen Pawns, how to improve the Classic Chess Pawn
I like the simplicity of Athens, its top 1 on my list, it can move one square back vertically (non-capture) except of course if is at 2nd rank or start square. This can convert the usual even game in chess to a win in KPvK ending. It would be interesting to see the results for KRPvKR. Next is Prussi...

Re: Some results from Musketeer Chess End-Game Tables
I investigated some pawnless end-games with Musketeer pieces, to determine their drawishness. (Which often plagues pawn-less end-games.) To this end I had FairyGen generate the required End-Game Tables, and interpreted their statistics. For a chess engine it is important to have such knowledge; oth...

Re: Geneva Chess available on Musketeerchess.net
OK, that explains it. So an oblique Pawn move like b2-c4 can generate both an e.p. square and an o.c. square, depending on presence of enemy Pawns (on a4 for e.p. and on b4 for o.c.). The o.c.-square is different from an e.p. square in that it matters which capture move (left or right) of the Pawn ...

Re: Geneva Chess available on Musketeerchess.net
The diagram still leaves it unclear over which square the oblique initial moves can be reached (i.e. where they couldbe blocked), and where after them an enemy Pawn has to move to in order to e.p. capture. If I understood Zied correctly, these are actually different squares, so that e.p. capture is...

Re: Massilia Chess available on Musketeerchess.net
https://i.imgur.com/agFTrkh.png Other info: a) Pawns at 5th, 6th ranks have the same movements. b) Other pieces such as N, B, R, Q and K are the same to that of chess. N=Knight, B=Bishop, R=Rook, Q=Queen, K=King. c) This super pawn can promote to a N, B, R or Q. c) This super pawn can also make an ...
