It is finally happening!

This is the final in the old dog tournament. A tournament that started over 2 years ago. The winner of this game will win the tournament!

It is bulldog chess with witch and guard between @SuperSam1 (white) and @thegreatauk (black).

The game will follow the correspondence rules posted here.

null

Note that the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess.

Pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.

null

Witch (W) - The rules for the witch can be found here.

null

Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess. However, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of transparent pieces (see witch rules).

Promotion: Pawns can promote to guard and witch in addition to queen, rook, bishop or knight.

Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.

Good luck!

It's sad that this had to end so early.

Yeah unfortunately Sam, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to be able to find the time to be an active bulldog player. I just hope all is well with him and it's a matter of work or family time, or something like that. Hopefully we'll see him back and playing again in the future.
