  • Change: Atomic 4 Player Chess can be played using the starting position "4 Player Atomic"

  • IMPORTANT: The Omatamix Setup will now be the default position (both FFA and Teams!)

  • (Requires confirmation): Along with this change, Chaturaji (from /variants) will become the default Chaturaji, while Chaturaji Hyper Fiesta (from /4-player-chess) will be either removed or made casual.


  • Easter Egg: New positions
    • Dance of the Grasshoppers
    • Cricket
    • Fastrook
Dance of the Grasshoppers
Cricket

(Fastrook uses the standard 2PC board)

  • Change: New Self-Partner setting in Teams (play both sides)
  • Note: 1|15D is considered blitz in self-partner.

  • Parity: (changed to match /variants)

  • Change: Board size can be changed (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14)

Hello, I write blogs about chess variants and speed chess!

 

My goal is to make more high quality and informative blogs in the future (currently sitting at around 10 pages of impulsive posts lol), but we'll see how that goes 😀
