yes, it's 327 days (about 10.5 months) minus a few hours.

 

I've played this variant and it was good.

IMO, I think it's somewhat boring, since the only pieces on the board move only 1 square, and 1 piece is locked behind pawns until someone is mated. Teaming is also annoying, but WoFs can all have teaming so it's not really the main problem.

Reminds me of the Second Conflict for the Regal Chairlike Object 🤔

I sorta agree, feel like this could be an NCP Instead of a WoF

Thank you for posting your another creation! First we though the game is indeed somewhat boring and scanty, not representing anything interesting or fun. But after further testing we all have found that there are many interesting lines and ideas in fact, and the gameplay is very saturated, unique, and exciting! However, there is one problem: the name doesn't represent the position well, and is the name of another chess variant. Please come up with something more suitable.

ask stupnik for position name, he is the best at naming positions grin.png

Please rename it to "Tools of the Trade".

(for whoever stays in the dark: this is an idiom meaning you need certain things to do the job, in this context it means that you can barely win against strong players without using your pieces and king well - each second move is of paramount importance commonly)

This can be said about absolutely any position. But having a WoF called tools/skills/instruments/equipment that you need in order to do your job properly..? What kind of work do you do playing this WoF, and why is this WoF necessary to get this work done? And how does this relate to your particular position? That's just strange and not obvious at all.

Then could you rename it to "Battle of Ambassadors"?

Done!
