Crazyhouse and Custom Variants

We should be able to add Crazyhouse as a custom variant rule.

Crazyhouse cannot be combined with Atomic.

i agree. i also think you should be able to do crazyhouse analysis

We will add it, after we've solved some of the more urgent problems (connection troubles and other things needing improvement)

why not crazy atomic

You only win the center of explosion

Not the whose thing. Also why not?

Crazyhouse + Atomic has many technical difficulties.

It will not work, at least for now.

Good to hear!

So, is the plan eventually to have every variant on the server, including bughouse, 960, 3+, etc.?

960 and 3-check are already on the server; Bughouse and Crazyhouse can easily be played in chess.com/play

Bughouse is like 4pc, I will make a custom variant called Bughouse that must be played Teams.

Crazyhouse will be added as a new rule in the future.

Bughouse is NOT like 4pc

Avatar of spacebar

yup. bughouse won't happen. 4p bughouse would require a ton ton of work (there's not space for two boards really, and questionable if anyone would even play it. just think about matchmatking, how long it takes to get a 4p game going, and you'd need 8 players. and all the work to program handling 8 players. in the end, it's just not feasable.

It is if you can use the same board. Pieces one captures go to their teammate on the same bosrd and you just play teams like that

I didn't want 4p bughouse.

I wanted 2p bughouse of the 4pc server.

since you need 4 players anyways

smaller variants that are not fully recognized on the website where they would have a place to play live would be decent to have in variants server

*cough* 8 Player Chess  *cough*

It would also be decent if we could have a daily system for every variant in the variants servers, or at least daily systems for the big ones

The thing is that 8 player chess has almost just the same problems as 4p bughouse

Avatar of TheUltraTrap

As much as I like 8pc it wasnt made for this server.

There are certain things that warrant being on a different site altogether XD
