New Position Workshop / Testing Thread

What about this tiny terror?

The jump spells are unusable, so I would remove them. This position is very interesting- I think there is a forced win, but I can't find one. I think this position has potential for submission, but I would remove the possibility for first-move captures.

(My previous analysis was flawed, so I removed it. I will update soon.)

forced draw

both kings can stay plump on their squares and no one can attack them

black can mirror white along the a6-f1 diagonal

do you like this/ test it plz

Killer Hoppers

no, if you copy cat you lose by points lol. tested in other games

huh? why?

How would Black defend against White's first move grasshopper forks (such as Ga4, Gg4)?

Hey upload the pocket chess you made

Sorry, I can't yet because of the 24 hour limit, I guess I will upload tomorrow

Any ideas on naming? I'm thinking in the names "Clarifying" or "Clarification" but I feel like those names can be improved on.

No I mean upload it here

I fixed the bugs in this improved one. There are no 1st move captures, and strategy now plays a bigger part than just trading pieces.

It’s a teams variant, in which red and green are on one team and blue and yellow are on the other. Red and yellow are both munchers. If there isn’t sufficient material for blue or green to checkmate each other then eventually the red and green team will win from red getting King of The Hill. I think it compensates some for the first move advantage that blue has.

What about 50 move limit?

It’s not possible to make it to 50 moves in this variant as red would get KOTH before that happens.

Oh. But still, it would be overlong.

I posted a few edits on the original post earlier: as of now, the current version is as follows:

15 sec|3D games: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/78395116/42/1

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/78395019/27/3

Then I would probably remove Yellow because it doesn't reach KOTH before red, so it doesn't affect the gameplay other than slowing it down.

the chancellors of course.
