Star Pool Chess. Large variant of Makruk, with a center non-square that acts as a bridge. (Cells: 84) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Having read the rules but not yet played the game, I believe I can still
say that this looks like an excellent variant.  It should have beautiful
positional play.  And it's aesthetically very pleasing also.  The graphics
are well done, and the physical set looks great.  As a group A judge in
the 84-squares contest, I'm hoping it will be placed in my group, but even
if it isn't, I'd like to playtest it.  Would the inventors be interested
in an email game?

This one won't be in anybody's pool (more's the pity) as it would have been
Tony's third entry.  Also, Peter has been in semiretirement from
contests.

However, you could explain leaping across the star pool less repetititititititively :-).

'This game is played on an 84-hex board.' Copying and pasting, eh? ;)

This is a tough one for the Diagram. It really hurts here that not all stride changes are implemented in the bracket notation; it would have been nice to be able to write [oF-AY] for jumping through the star pool to a citadel. As it is it requires many transparent mp intermediates to get there.
