New Position Workshop / Testing Thread

This is simply a redo of normal chess. I have permitted passing and pawns promote on the 8th rank into an Amazon. If anyone could give me feedback as to if I should maybe change the pawns up (tested them out in a game, and they are WACK.)

you strenghten every piece and make knight worse why not wildebeest.

But why the berolina are in the corner?? Berolina correspond more to knight and soldier to rook, no? 

And if you do a fairy version of 2 players, do it to the end! Why not make the queen amazon and the rook eleph...ops sorry chancellor?

Also, why the general, alias king, is swithed with th queen?

Thank you for your feedback! I have changed up the board, made the camel a wildebeast, switched the berolina and the soldier, and have turned the queen into an amazon. You now can capture the General (or the horsey king) and I have also added two pawns in front of the wildebeasts. I have also made an alibaba because i made the board bigger. Again thank you for the feedback and if you have anymore criticisms, I would be happy to take them.

(P.S I have also changed up the look of the rooks, make them more pretty I say. And the reason for not turning the rook into something else is I wanted an active, easy to see threat to a piece. Every other piece jumps, or moves diagonally, or jumps fifteen squares and moves down one or something like that. This is why I kept the rooks as themselves. [They are also my favorite piece])

I had an idea for a Teams custom position. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it could be interesting. It's different enough to change the game, but it's not a drastic change.

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking the name would be something along the lines of "A New King Arose" or "EX1:8."

The implications would be that as you attack Green, it would actually be Blue's pieces that get paralyzed if a check is delivered. (And so on around the board.)

@Green_Sleeves

That's actually a very old idea. The game was called "Partner Trust," and was a listed variant (in its 'Old Standard' form) for some time. At some point it was tested with engines, and proved to be a forced win, although I can't remember if it was forced for RY or GB. Even after that, it remained a listed variant, though casual, for some time.

I can't find any of the games played in that position when it was listed because the archive search seems to be set to time-out after an unusually short search time, but there have been many.

Updating this position to its Omatamix form could resolve the forcing lines though, so I'm sure the CGAs would consider it.

Cool! Thanks Grable.

Idea-WoF: Wall Collapse

What do you think of this position

Btw rules are (not currently formatted) 7-12-65 check, no promotion, Blue is Immune Rando, Yellow is Rando 

what in the world is this

how do u get to the king

You don’t. The yellows take out the blue king because that is all they can practically do and that releases the yellow queens.

There’s way too much wiggle worm, though, so I might add more pieces.

The idea is good, but I don't really like the implementation
