Pandemonium (Surajang修羅場). Capablanca chess + Crazyhouse.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
💡📝Daphne Snowmoon wrote on Thu, Feb 4, 2021 05:02 AM EST in reply to Jean-Louis Cazaux from 01:49 AM:

Jean-Louis // Thank you!

  1. The two King pieces are separated into Jade and King. I followed it. Therefore, it was necessary to explain Castling differently.

  2. And, in Chess without Drop, BN (Cardinal) and RN (Marshal) are less valuable than Queen. So it reflected being promoted to Queen. Anyway, promotion is optional. There is no reason to promote BN or RN to Queen unless you want to. And in Shogi, all minor pieces are promoted to Gold. With this in mind, BN and RN were also promoted to Queen(a piece of the same status as Gold in Shogi).

  3. Now castling is also possible with a moved or dropped Rook. Likewise, you can castling with a moved King. Of course, the King and Rook needed for Castling should be at the starting point. A dropped or moved pawn can move more than 2 squares, but I think it's strange that casting is impossible if the Rook and KIng are dropped or moved. So in Pandemonium, castling was modified to be possible multiple times. What do you all think about this?

(Because my English is not good, I rely heavily on Translate google. Therefore, there will be a lot of awkward parts in the sentence and there will be parts that you don't understand. If you have such a part, please tell me!)

Jean //

I'll fix the grammatical errors later!

In Pandemonium, dropped or moved pawns can also move more than 2 spaces. If the pawn can move more than 2 spaces even though it has been moved, then also King and Rook think it should be possible to castling even if it has moved as well.

The reason why Marshal's promotion name and Cardinal's promotion name were not set to Queen is that it can be confused with the original Queen.

Pawn drop checkamte is not possible on Shogi. Habu Yoshiharu said to Shogi, "If the Pawn drop checkmate is possible, the first player win." However, Pawn drop checkmate is available in Crazyhouse. Is there any reason why Pawn drop checkmate is possible in Crazyhouse?

Thanks for answering! But what does 'drop move' mean? Is it moving as soon as you drop a piece?

Can I ask one more question? Does Crazyhouse also have a Fifty-move rule(a draw if no piece is captured and no pawn moved during fifty move)? And is there a draw by Stalemate?

[Changed points]

  1. Castling is only possible once. And if Rook moves or is captured, casting is impossible in that direction, and if King moves, casting is impossible at all.

  2. Now the two Kings can face each other. That is, it is okay if King and King are in the same file or rank, and there is no piece between them.

  3. If a player can no longer move or drop a piece, the game is a draw.

I have corrected the wrong description!

[Rook, Bishop, and Knight have additional King's move when promoted. Marshal and Cardinal become the same as Queen when promoted. King and Queen are pieces that are not promoted.]

->

Rule changed !

May promote only on the 10th rank

->

May promote not only the 10th rank but also the 9th rank


💡📝Daphne Snowmoon wrote on Sat, Mar 27, 2021 05:00 AM EDT in reply to Greg Strong from Fri Mar 26 11:39 AM:

ah 'can promote' -> 'may promote'

Only Pawns must be promoted on the 10th rank. All pieces except pawns can choose whether to promote on the 9th or 10th rank.

Thank you !!

But can't some rules be implemented in an interactive diagram?


💡📝Daphne Snowmoon wrote on Sun, Jul 25, 2021 07:55 AM EDT in reply to H. G. Muller from Sat Jul 24 06:35 AM:

H.G. //

Rule to advance 2 squares when moving to 2nd rank after a Pawn is dropped in 1st rank

Rule with restrictions on promotion (e.g., among the promoted pieces, only one piece with the same movement can exist on the board)

etc ?

Nelson // Thank you very much !!

Pawns, unlike other pieces, can be promoted over and over again. The reason is to strengthen the Pawn's advance.

Pawns can be dropped at 1st rank, so they can defend more actively. (For example, like Shogi's Anaguma, you can move the King into a corner and surround it with Pawns.)

However, the Pawn's attack power is relatively weak. Compared to other promoted pieces, Pawn has a lot of limited movement, and I thought it needed appropriate compensation. That's unlimited promotions.

As the saying goes, 'Pawns are the soul of chess', I felt that Pawns needed a unique feature.

Thanks for the kind reply!

Some pieces have been renamed

Van -> Wazir (Movement also changed: D -> W)

Ferz(Sa士) -> Ferz(In刃)

Piece moves reworked, Piece names modified, Castling and Enpaasant removed, Pawn rules modified, board size and piece placement changed.

Nelson // I made major changes to the rules and in the process the promotion restrictions were removed!

Thank you! But now Pawn's moves have changed so I don't think it's necessary to use it in Pandemonium. If I ever make other variants, I'll use them!
