You can play any position casual, but only listed positions can be played rated.
The idea is to play your custom position casual with real players (not bots), see if they like it, get feedback, and make improvements and adjustments to your position until satisfied. If players enjoyed your game, you can request to have it listed, by posting the following in this topic, or in a new topic:
- Links to played games (games aborted, resigned on 2nd move, etc. do not count)
- Suggested name and time control
- Optional: Info-text to be displayed with the game.
Posts without linked games will be ignored or deleted from this topic.
Use the Edit Position tab to create any imaginable position. Select a spare piece and click on squares to drop it. Drag pieces anywhere.
Note: Rules (King of the Hill, Takeover etc) are not part of the position (fen4), they are part of a the game (pgn4).
The current FEN4 is shown in the textbox at the bottom. If you manually edit or paste the FEN4, click 'Load' below it to apply the changes.
Click 'Start from here' to test your position. Play a few moves. To recover your starting position, go back to the start of the game before switching back to 'Edit position'.
Don't forget to uncheck castling rights in positions where players should not be allowed to castle.
No king
If a player does not have a king, he (obviously) cannot be checked or checkmated, so it is generally advantageous to be king-less. If such a player resigns, the remaining players will share 20 points. If a player runs out of pieces, he will get 'stalemated' on his next turn, but no points are awarded for capturing his last piece, nor for getting stalemated by running out of pieces.
If a player has no royal piece, the first promoted king will become a royal king. Other promotions will not be "royalized" (or should they be?)
Hello, you CAN have a king and NOT be checkmated, checked, or stalemated! You can set the royal piece too, so that's why it's possible. I'm just thinking of a game with all fairy pieces. So there's no king. But I want to set the royal piece to a General instead. Could you help me?
@stevehinkle10
see the FEN of example game
Find a row that describe kings position like this:
{'lives'
9,11,9,11)}-
And insert the row below:
{'royal''k1','a4','d14','n11')}-
Where near 'royal' you can insert the position of royal figures. ( "" = ": (" without a space)
Also, see the FEN of different Custom Royal Games.

There are many issues with this:
- rando zombie is stalemated
- rgy pawns moving in different directions
- red gets teamed (yg both capture with knight)
- impossible to win since only the knights can pass the walls
- no one can promote
- what is the point of this game

I know they are just blocks added but they are not random, they are placed in such a manner that no Team has an "UNequal" advantage on the board it was hard to make and @BoxJellyFish and me VS @Elsa and @Asparagles have played it was rather harder than I thought, but I and Box won! So, please try and have this as a variant?

high dude variant is listed now (just as possible mate? bc your name will be in description, not title), still casual. I will make rated if it becomes popular and other CGAs agree.

chess dude I like the idea but rejected; needs a rework bc it's way too easy to block KOTH paths. For example, red promotes g2 pawn to knight and yellow promotes d13 pawn to king or bishop, then blue will never get KOTH. So I would suggest making the paths to the center wider. As a side note: I don't like the name; people may think you are copying King of the Plains, and the hike thing doesn't rlly make sense. But you can choose your name how you wish 
all admins have CGA powers.
@reexamine is also CGA (he and acgusta are not active)
