Rules:

3-Check

Pawns promote to a grasshopper on the 4th rank

Pawn starting rank: 3rd

Time: 1/2|1

Differences: I've added 8 walls, so there wouldn't be checkmate after taking the not rolay king.

Thank you for posting a new Wheel Of Fortune game! At first, let's look on the initial position and its problems, and then the changes you made. One of the problems was that there were unstoppable checлmates and teaming issues. But actually it wasn't all. As you could notice (and I pointed out before), if at least one of i3-g3 will be moved, there are almost no chance not to be checkmated. So the only real point is not to move these pawns and shuffle 2 grasshoppers (from h3 and f3 pawns).

Now let's see the changes you made.
  • Squares which allowed players to checkmate were removed (though it would be better to give players more defense instead of removing possibility of checkmating).
  • Still 50% material is actually blocked. If player lose his 2 grasshoppers, the only thing remains is to move one of pawns which open line for checkmating the king.
  • Changed to WoF.

The thing is that NCP ≠ WoF, and unbalanced NCP cannot be a WoF. There are still a lot of issues, the main are 2 pawns and impossibility to make anything if these problematic pawns are not promoted, remains just to shuffle. Honestly, for me as for CTC, it looks like this position is still just half-made, closing squares which were giving a way to checkmate other players was like "closing" the problem but not solving it. And of course, changing NCP to WoF doesn't change anything; again, unbalanced NCP is not a WoF.

I may help you to improve it, just ask, or keep trying to do it yourself, I believe in you! In any way we are looking forward to see your new creations and remakes! You have an excellent ideas and make a good its realization, we like your work.

But for now,
