@Greg,
Hello,
Can chessV2 update the counter in the 50 moves rule also when the maasai pawns are moved. What about only when maasai pawns are moved forward? The later rule seems more sensitive to me, for my game.
@Jean-Louis,
What are your thoughts on the interaction of the 50 moves rule with the maasai pawns in this game?
@Aurelian, I have no idea. This rule has always been sort of academic for me, I have never played a game of any kind when it has been necessary to use this rule. So, you can change to 75 if you feel is better.
Yes! This should do it:
FindRule( Move50Rule ).TypesThatResetCounter.Add( Massai );
FindRule( Move50Rule ).SetRequiredDirection( Direction( 0, 1 ) );
The need for only resetting the counter when moving forward was added long ago for Chess and a Half. I don't remember ever needing the TypesThatResetCounter list before ... Maybe it was added for something or maybe I was just anticipating.
Thanks, Greg!
I meant if a Massai soldier move resets the counter?
Right. The first command adds the Massai to the list of types that resets the counter. The second command limits it so only moves in the specified direction reset the counter.
