WOF - Rushing Roulette

Rushing Roulette: The goal of this variant is to take as many pieces as possible before your king is taken by the immune queens!

This game is easy to learn, make strategies in, and it's a pretty fun (and sometimes intense) game to play!

Ideas for variant of variant...: Use different bots (@boxjellyfishchess suggested using ranters) ; Make board smaller to increase intensity and chance of being taken by queen.

Note: This does not have to be WOF, as it might take too long (Replacing the randos with ranters might be a good idea), but I want this to at least be considered for a set casual position that everyone can use. 

This is definitely pretty luck-based, and all players have an equal chance.

Time Control: Bullet, 30 Seconds.

Alternative Control: Hyperbullet, 15 seconds.

Type: Casual-Variant

Rules: 2-Player, 1 Zombie, Capture the King, QRBK (although this has no effect on gameplay)

Game #4: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=6236326

How the game ended: Opponent timed out.

Game #74: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=6253074

Strategies: Don't resign, you can time out opponent if you are less than 20 points behind and all pieces are taken. When in a king-confrontation (where two kings are both trying to take rook and queen), if you are the player who moves first, abandon the pieces. Go take the other pieces on the other side of board, it's not worth it to just get 14 points compared to tens of more points.

Game #75: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=6253263

Strategies: Hide behind a row of pieces to protect yourself from queen.

Game #76: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=6254164

Sorry this is so long. If you ignored everything, good, there are 75 games and about 10 strategies listed and it's boring to look at everything.

I'm pretty sure you only need 5.

Why so many games?!

The minimum was changed to 15, and no bot games allowed either. Please just remember this. Plus 75 games can definitely get the attention of the mods, this is my first variant soooooooo...

Ok?

Amazing work! I'm not sure how I feel about the position itself (interesting concept, pretty original, maybe too many green queens, but probably still works well), but this is a great example of how a custom position should be made .

Thats alot of games

Yep

Yep, very detailed analysis. You've obviously put a lot of effort into this position. Good work!

I could watch all the games but that would take me 2 hours

Wait which game was I in

I was in game #6241189

its called russian rollete

or however you spell that

Rushing is used to make the title funnier, it's a homophone joke. Roulette is also the correct spelling.

ok nerd

thank you for the kind words

lol, 75 is going a little far, but that means some people enjoyed that game.

you are welcome @chessmastergs
