Games/Variants Analysis

KoTH is impossible with 1-check, and this is still generic.

btw, I'm gonna do a game, and if it doesn't work at all, I'm gonna scrap the 1 check mechanic, but I'm gonna keep the pieces the same. in addition, I had removed the camels from an earlier design and added a chancellor (but made it hard to take out). And, I had removed the amazon and knightrider from the earlier version. I may re-add the camels. but I don't want them to be the sole checkmating piece (and they're kinda too powerful).

1. the KoTH is for when most pieces are gone (ie: it prevents draws).

2. what makes it generic and how do I fix it?

also, I want it to be sorta like chess.

Also, may I PLEASE have some pointers to make it less generic instead of you just going "it's still generic", which is extremely unhelpful.

Again, what would be better is that you put all your information in one comment instead.

"also, I want it to be sorta like chess." I understand you, but we already have various great modifications to regular chess, and do not need one more modification which works much less well than chess.

"Also, may I PLEASE have some pointers to make it less generic instead of you just going "it's still generic", which is extremely unhelpful."

You can simply don't ask for feedback; On the other hand, I told you multiple times that these minor modifications will not work. Add unique, game-changing gamerules is a must if you really want this go well.

I added atomic and removed 1-check https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/100429537

is this better?

yeah the king being protected definitely helps with this lol https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/100429669

and I might turn on any capture to add even more spiciness (and to allow for REALLY stupid gambits)

wait... then it'll just devolve into people capturing their own pieces and then doing king of the hill...

reduce the board size and piece count will help

you've improved the knightchess pieces situation!

I want there to be a lot of pieces because I want it to be very complex

This is quite a bit of fun now https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/100456966

is anyone able to give detailed feedback on what I should add, remove, change, etc?

good

atomic sped up the whole thing, and it reduced pieces faster, allowing KotH to happen

also you upped the n-check good

Is anyone able to help play test my variant? https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/100473025

this is a new version of the variant. I'd like to formally request feedback (detailed analysis of the synergy of pieces) and/or someone (or multiple people) to help play test it

sorry I can only give basic feedback that are in the CVC forums, cuz Im not experienced.

it's ok
