Why can't we just play-ban the people who take longer than 10 minutes or 5 minutes or 15 minutes to move, and we don't have a time constraint. For example, play-ban if you take longer than 15 minutes on 1 move, 16 mins on 2 moves, 17 mins on 3 moves, 18 mins on 4, and so on, making sure that everyone takes just 1 minute per move
also in ur example it would be 7 because of white's pieces and the new last line
if its the pieces on the old last line then there is a high chance that n becomes 0
also in ur example it would be 7 because of white's pieces and the new last line
It's like if shrinking was just before situation, and after 3 moves and shrinking we count pieces on a new last line
if its the pieces on the old last line then there is a high chance that n becomes 0
Oops, didn't thought about that. I'll change
Join
1 more player to start
Update to the rules. In that case mentioned in #4, board shrinks by 2 rows. For example:
JOIN. No choice with such a long time to wait for just one more player, as much as it weighs me down, because I am free all summer.

The game shall start now with red (@zisal2029) to move
Just to confirm, the board starts as a regular 4PC board, right?
Yes

2. h2-h3

During these fifteen moves, I'm rushing to get my pieces out or the board shrinks:
[Variant "FFA"]
[RuleVariants "DeadKingWalking EnPassant PromoteTo=D"]
[CurrentMove "6"]
[TimeControl "4 min"]
1. Nj1-i3 .. Na5-c6 .. g13-g11 .. m10-l10
2. h2-h3 .. b7-c7
Yellow (@Chessisfunforme) to move
Every n moves (n is different each time) board shrinks by 1 line in each side like this:
Initial board of 4pc is 14x14, so after 1st shrinking it will become 12x12. All pieces captured by board give points to every other alive player (for example if red's queen and rook being captured by board - blue, yellow and green get 9+5=14 points, if they're still alive)
How n is counting? for 1st time it's 16. Then it becomes a maximum number of pieces that 1 of the players have on all of last lines. For example, there n is 3, because black has 3 pieces on the last line
Player elimination restarts the counter of moves and new n is need to be defined.
Other rules: capture the king, no claiming win allowed (you have to play till the end)*. Game ends when it's 1 player remaining, or the board turns to 0x0
*I know, you can forfeit to end the game, but please, don't abuse this
Why it's called 'V1'? Because I have more ideas how to use shrinking board, new games become just after end of this
