Malfizar's Siege Chess

Avatar of brutalitywarlord

A few months ago I launched a website for a chess variant I made. 

I called the variant Siege Chess, and host it at https://siegechess.net.

The site has some basic features for creating, joining games, and challenging other users. 
It supports a maximum of up to 8 players, and allows the users to customize the size of the board and apply some custom settings.

To briefly describe how the game works, it begins when the host of a gameroom clicks on Start Game:
1) Players take turn placing their fortress. 
2) Players take turns placing their king.
3) Players are given some gold to purchase their starting army. Other players will not be visible during this step. They will click 'Ready' once they have selected their army and are ready to begin.
4) When all players are ready, the game will officially begin.

At the start of a players turn, they will get one gold. 
The player can choose to move, capture, or spawn pieces.

There are two ways to put a user in check. Either attack the king like you would in ordinary chess, or attack the stationary fortress with three pieces. If either condition cannot be resolved, then it is checkmate. 

If a player is in check, they cannot spawn pieces. If the fortress is attacked by any number of pieces ("siege"), the user does not earn gold. 

I've had a lot of fun playing the variant with the people I have shown it too, and want to grow the playerbase a little bit. I hope you guys enjoy the variant!

These are some screenshots that I took to show off the game:

And this is the official Siege Chess club.: https://www.chess.com/club/variant-siege-chess

While we do need to grow the club, I think advertising other clubs is not allowed in this club. Should probably take that down to avoid trouble with the admins.

Yea, just play people on chess.com, and if they actually respond to you in DMs, then offer to play siege chess against them. That's what I do personally. If they like the game, then just visit their profile and invite them to the Siege Chess club
