New Position Workshop / Testing Thread

Hi all. This is my first try to make a custom variant. Screenshot and PGN will follow. The idea is for a 4 players game in Team format. One team is Red and Green and second Blue and Yellow. Red start the game and game proceed clockwise. So one team has the advantage to begin the game but other will have first concurrently two moves, one of each partner. Each partner will have different army to play. Red and Yellow will have the standard chess army when Blue and Green will have an army of 15 fairy pieces without King. Also Green and Blue will have 3 pieces to use in Seirawan style. In order to win you need to checkmate the opponent King and stalemate is draw. Finally promotion for every type of pawn is on 8th rank and it is always an Amazon (Moves like Queen and Knight). Opinions please

What!!!!!!

Hey guys! I am making a version of xxl chess. It is a 14x14 board, but with the weakest fairy pieces and all types of pawns (see below). The rules are: 5+, Promoting on 7th rank to: ferz, wazir, dabada and afil. Please play some games with me!

I'm concerned that games may be very stale, given the mobility of the pieces on such a big board

@noahfavelo also told me that, i changed promotion to:ferz, and afil and dabada riders

need "sliding pieces'

@ChessMasterGS

I feel like alibabas would be amazing. But on second thought, that sounds too "un-mini".

👍🏻

The question is, are the weak pieces your own concept for the game or just a compromise to make your ideas fit the server’s assumptions about what users want to design for it?

Rules: White against Black, no check.

10th rank = general (M)

pawns could move sideways

Do you like my suggestion?

It's not working for me?

How about my position? I am going to submit this on the final one. ( it is called 10x10 chess. )

I don't recognize the piece on the c file, what is it?

general

What are your comments on this variant? Is there anything I should improve on?

koth is probably practically impossible, otherwise looks fun to try

This is a cool idea, but Koth looks hard to achieve

I like very much this position, and koth isn't a problem, because the koth will be more easy at the end of the game, when there will have not much pieces.

Also, the way will be free when one player will be checkmated.
