save them! they are gone, so save them

Hey, I was playing a Fog of Setup 31 position compliments to @Green_Sleeves and I was wondering if anyone with Fog of War or Setup chess experience had some tips on how my opponent and I played. I'll walk you through my thought process for some of my moves. I'll link the game here too: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/30202903/2098/3 (You may want to scroll to the beginning of the game) My opponent was white and played 1.r @Ba3: a pretty overused opening but hard to refute, so I tried to put my opponent in an uncomfortable situation and go out of book by responding with 1.y @Bd6!?. This line definitely is considered rogue but I believe it has some untapped potential, and in its unexplored state, makes for a very sharp and interesting game. This got my opponent thinking for a while, but he did manage to fine the best continuation, 2.r @Bh3, applying pressure to the d7 pawn. Our next couple of moves were normal, and then I decided to surprise my opponent with 3.y D, which is a hard line to win, but my plan was to take advantage of the psychological element that this move had to offer. However, my opponent showed resilience to my tricks and played 4.r D: The draw countergambit. I was slightly caught off guard, but I was not going to let my opponent do what I wanted to do to him. We tried this move a couple times within the duration of this match, but my opponent must have been worried about repeating too many times, so he switched it up with 1006.r @Be3. We made a couple more normal developing moves, and then my opponent made (what I consider is) the first blunder. 1014.r P is frankly an awful move that lets me finish development before he can start an attacking idea. Nevertheless, I wasn't able to capitalize on it well and the position equalized quickly. A few exchanges later my opponent slips up again and plays the inaccuracy 1023.r Bxe6+?!: a rather hasty move that breaks the symmetry of the position and could have been saved for later when I was not in check. This time, I found the correct reply to this move, 1023.y fxe6, 1024.r Be5, 1024.y Bxe3+!!, 1025.r fxe3, 1025.y Be4, regaining symmetry and putting my opponent in zugzwang. A few symmetrical moves later, we finally reached a draw from insufficient material after 1049.y Kxc7. I'm eager to hear opinions, and always looking for move suggestions!, Do you see a point in this game where I could have converted better? Let me know.

Chess variant where the role of the king and knight is exchanged: players win by checkmating the knight, and the kings are regular pieces subject to capture. Royal knight: Starts on the field of the king. It moves like a knight, but the check-rule applies to it like to a king: it cannot move into check, it has to move out from check, and if it cannot escape from check, it is an immediate loss of the game (checkmate). Commoner: They start on the fields of the knights. They move like the king, but the check-rule does not apply to them, i.e. they can be captured like any other piece. Otherwise the rules of chess apply, with the following differences: Castling with the (royal) knight works in the same way as with the king in chess. Pawns can promote to commoner, but not to knight. Basic matesThe following table shows which pieces or piece combinations can checkmate the lone knight. The queen can checkmate the knight on its own, but neither of the other pieces can (not even with the support of the knight). However, any two pieces (besides the knight) can checkmate (except the very rare case of two bishops on the same field colour). Knight: Draw Knight Queen: Win Knight Rook: Draw Knight Commoner: Draw Knight Bishop: Draw Knight RR: Win Knight RC (Rook, Commoner): Win Knight CC: Win Knight RB: Win Knight CB: Win Knight BB: Win Examples of checkmated knight

Spacebar promised we would get a dropdown menu to select futer types Where did it go now?

i just wonder it i can't give you the photo

I was playing a game of crazy custom position, and forgot to turn off the game of points for 2 player https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/29983467/124/1 We both tried to go for a draw by repetition involving a combination of draws and piece captures, however since each time we captured a piece the number of points we had would go up so that repeating the same position on the board wouldn't count towards 3 fold repetition as the total number of points wouldn't repeat. It was also clear that the 50 move rule wouldn't end the game as pieces would get captured every few moves. The fact that we would both get points when capturing a bishop would mean that the relative number of points we would each have would tend to just oscillate, so neither of us would actually make progress. I think it should be changed so that crazyhouse game of points can't go on forever as seems to now be possible.

Mouse moves like queen nightrider camelrider and also alibabarider

Why does this futer speak latin and say gg at the end?

In this position, black win or draw? Correct answer: Will show if reach 10 or more comments

Snakes are a combination of queen and alibaba.

After the last update there's no 'Racing Kings' rule, so 'racing kings' games turned into complete trash. Players randomly getting and losing ratings. This can be fixed mixing KotH with Taboo. Please change it and disable the ratings (maybe full clear) https://www.chess.com/variants/racing-kings/game/29664728 This is how it is https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/29665188 This is how it must be

go here and see https://www.chess.com/variants/chaturanga/game/29546600/122/1 After watching, you see that in the Nxb3 move, black should have lost because of the bare piece rule, right? but it's not like that

Level of difficult: 1600 Piece: neo old the answer will be for the first 5 people to answer

Moves like a king Captures by jumping over pieces Imagine the white queen is a spy The white pawns are moves,the white knights are captures. Another one: Super spy it’s just regular spy except that it can jump many times in one move. (unlike in bollwerk 178 it can’t jump over it’s own pieces)

Thrice now I saw the futer bot randomly send a latin message in chat during a game The first time it said "Ipsum tenetur dolorem in fugit sapiente molestias quis", which translates to "He who is bound by pain in the wise flees from trouble" according to google translate. The second time it said "Vero nobis hic necessitatibus adipisci", which translates to "We are here to meet your needs" according to google translate. The third time it said "Eum earum laudantium eveniet accusantium ut", which translates to "Those who praise him will turn out to be accusers" according to google translate. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it kind of freaky? Does this only happen on https://www.chess.com/variants-test?
