Note: Make this solo! None of that FFA garbage in a 2 Player variant...

Interesting variant, I doubt it is acceptable but it might be.

Status: Accepted

Reason: One of the most complicated, sharp, dynamic, and interesting WoF!

but it need to be slower because there are a lot of moves

That's what hyper is for, it'd be a mediocre game if it was something like 1|2

But it should be like 10 sec|3D or 30sec|1D

Hyper adds the time factor in; while not purely forcing you to move faster at the higher levels, it's something to keep in mind.

Red is mainly passive until the endgame, but its pieces you can manipulate to take your opponent's, and then check them. 

Could've been more thought out but then again, do people really put effort into WoFs? lol

But if got time, red will start an attack, red always got a good amount of pieces so red has a major advantage.

Red can be tricked into attacking opponent via sacrifices, in endgames it is needed for when kings are close to KOTH.

I think it’s be more fun for the community if you slowed the tc a tad bit more

Avatar of Andrew67275

i think you should put more time control in

Avatar of ChessMasterGS

also I changed it from 1/10 to 1/4, I was contemplating if I should make it 1/10 and then just left the change there... 

Avatar of samuelysfung

I was thinking about 1/10|1D too

Not necessarily.

CGAbot is supposed to check every 30 seconds. Dunno what went wrong with it’s response speed

Avatar of Cypridev

I've played it and it's interesting and fun. Time control is good (I've tried with 1/2 and it was too slow). But did you think about 3-Check? I think 2-Check is a bit too forced.

Maybe 3-check will work, I needed to quickly punish rushing toward the center.

just as a note, I originally played for this to be called "Red Light, Green Light", based off the game in the tv show Squid Game... but there's no "green light", although I still managed to create some sort of intensity at the endgame happy.png
