So, can you change its short external description, like:

"White hasn't Queen and minors but places hybrid of all chessmen with hit-to-run adjacent taking"

edit: instead of "White has little diff in setup but..."

Sorry, I definitely refuse to call RQ as an amazon.

I’ve edited that article, now Karmium General can’t castle to Rooks, and winning rules are changed also.

@benr You requested that here, and I’ve done that; so can you mention Bajusz Tamas (signed up here) as the second author?

How about enabling Atomic chess as recognised game (and probably featured or of the month)? It's played by many people on Lichess, and it's probably the most favourite by community which plays variants for making unofficial team arenas. BTW I have high Atomic rating there.

So I don’t understand. Bishop is just a Nightrider (repeats knight steps) or knight jumps OVER two squares to third one (by this it can reach all the squares in Tape chess)?

Really comeback)))))

About image — this is good, however you can also draw another image to probably invert the lightning standing on the fundament and make it less angles (not three but two).

That is how it looks in my imagination…


Diceroller is Fire wrote on Tue, Aug 1, 2023 08:47 AM UTC in reply to Bob Greenwade from Fri Jul 28 02:46 PM:

(The 2.5mm rule discussed with the Hangman applies here; the joint between the lightning bolt and the base is 3mm wide. Still, the size of the bolt may make it a bit more subject to breakage, so I may rework it to make that joint stronger.)

You can make the joint 2 times stronger. Maybe I'm wrong with asking for inverting it; that would be challenging for the skies; so lightning normally goes not into, but from it.

This kinda was my first thought for "beefing up," but I wasn't sure it'd be effective.


 

Probably the best. Like it falls on the telegraph pillar of the opponent:).

You can find a Sniff with an illustrations to Tove Jansson’s fairy tales, and draw something like him.

Diceroller is Fire wrote on Fri, Aug 11, 2023 12:28 PM UTC:

I’ve decided (long time ago, but written it just now) to add the pawns. Probably I will calibrate the rules (now pawn takes in en-passant style, but king still can’t take at all)

Another decisions {if these will go down} are 1. to make pawn capture diagonally by moving straight forward (as knight, capture is optional and can take up to 2 foes including cornered ones – now this version is omitted because pawns can start taking from 2nd move which’s not in my plans) and 2. let king capture in the same way as pawn does (also up to 2, also can take cornered; and it’s also omitted because otherwise it changes the character of the game even much more cardinally than the pawn tweak)
