New Position Workshop / Testing Thread

i knew there was a flaw in this one

i was never going to release this

are you everywhere just to say bad stuff??

Yes. Why do you ask? (joke)

Serious response: No, this position is actually a forced win for white.

if there's a forced win, what is it?

1. White leaps over Black's rook

2. Moves up 1

3. Moves right 1

4. Take the black rooks

5. Repeat step four until all of Black's rooks are gone.

The best Black can do is to mirror, and white's first-move advantage will give them the win.

i love how that doesn't work

@2bHNST please give algebraic notation or a game link lol

from what i've observed, white doesn't have a forced win at all

Actually no, it's a forced win for Black. The way bare piece rule works is that if a player has 1 piece left, and it is NOT IN STALEMATE AND HAS NO CAPTURES, then the player is forfeit. After White takes Black's last rook, Black isn't forfeit because they can take White's last rook. After doing so, it will rotate to White's turn, making White forfeit.

So yes, I was wrong. It is a forced win for Black.

(can someone fact-check me?)

it's a transparent brick for every white square

I'm just following what your screenshot had

is fog of custom position good?

Too similar to Ashtandrez.

what about this

the name is changing right now

I mean it could be named: the underdogs fighting

You should call it "Ronin Shogi" or "Ronin Pawn Shogi",it makes a good name for the Shogi like pieces.
