Sort:
MistMint

Note:this is NOT a 2025 challenge.

It's only for someone who really likes chess or wonders have something to learn ot to read in a chess game.

As you see,Ode of Mulan(木兰辞) had been submitted to VW.Why not doing something of books without read,review and recite them again and again?Learn them in chess!

To achieve the milestone,the chess variants should have a meaning,refer to a good book or something,and show them into chess.

Here's the variants now:

Variant Name Creator Status
Ode of Mulan(木兰辞)(or 刮目相看...I wanna change it but how do i translate that) KingsSacGotta Declined
Jianjia(蒹葭)Wrong,dumb oneplz CGA rename it to a space to load the name KingsSacGotta Declined(absolutely)
Jianjia(re-posted) KingsSacGotta Declined

sorry but i cannot say anything in VW(a bug or banned?).yes but it seems only few people was drawn.It is just a story(and also we learnt both 木兰诗 and 孙权劝学 in 7th grade Chinese lol)I was thinking about a "Recruitment notice"(by translator)before,and then i find that.so the first poem in yhe description was 君马黄,and named Jeremiad,with no meaning and seem randomly put.

+Xiangqi horse is actually weak,cuz i dont wanna it control the center very quick&refer to the drangon of Chinese culture lol,and camel guard 2 out of 4 KotH or its way.you just need to push e3 pawn.@2bHNST

Honestly, I'm surprised your class haven't learned the easiest poem, yet:

鹅鹅鹅

曲项向天歌

白毛浮绿水

红掌拨清波

------

Some more poems ig:

------

两个黄鹂鸣翠柳

一行白鹭上天山

窗含西岭千秋雪

门泊东吴万里山

-------

独在异乡为异客

每逢佳节倍思亲

遥知兄弟登高处
遍插茱萸少一人

------

千山鸟飞绝

万径人踪灭

孤舟素利翁

独钓寒江雪

------

朝辞白帝彩云间

千里江陵一日还

两岸猿声啼不住

轻舟已过万重山

------

清明时节雨纷纷

路上行人欲断魂

接吻救下何处有

牧童遥指杏花村

------

离离原上草, 一岁一枯荣。

野火烧不尽, 春风吹又生。

远芳侵古道, 清翠接荒城。

又送王孙去,萋萋满别情。

do you sure it was 李海 instead of "李白"or some other thing?I searched it on baidu with 129 person named that,but none of them said he is a poet.

i will put the description here cause a sussy bug is occured and i cannot do anything on VW:

Take the king or take all the pieces win.

this introduce another way attack from Mini Forest:the berolina,light blocks,dead ferzs and promotion.Berolina isn't a stone general,so if two pieces stay two ways berolina can move,the berolina is "dead" already because it cannot move.Light blocks allow the general and the archbishop jump as a knight and...SURPRISE?!The dead ferzs let an opening(γd4,then trade) dont come out much.=Z is like =Q this variant,and =H is much like gonna take a king.

蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜。所谓伊人,在水一方。

溯洄从之,道阻且长。溯游从之,宛在水中央。

蒹葭萋萋,白露未晞。所谓伊人,在水之湄。

溯洄从之,道阻且跻。溯游从之,宛在水中坻。

蒹葭采采,白露未已。所谓伊人,在水之涘。

溯洄从之,道阻且右。溯游从之,宛在水中沚。
