Some information...
What is the goal of this game?
 
As in every 4PC FFA game, the goal is to earn more points.

When does the game end?
1. Someone gets checkmate (losing all lives as a result of receiving checks is also called checkmate).
2. Someone gets stalemate.
3. Both players have 1 piece left (king only).

Let's look at each case.
In first case, the one who checkmate opponent earns 20pt + value of all green and blue pieces.
In second case, the one who gets stalemate earns 20pt, but his opponent earns value of all green and blue pieces.
In third case, both players earn half value of all green and blue pieces.

How to play it?
There are really a lot of tactics we can use in this game. Here are some interesting ones. For example, if someone calculates that value of all green and blue pieces is more than 20pt so it would be winning for him, he can deliberately put the opponent in a stalemate. Or, if someone has more points, he can make a situation with a 3-fold repetition to win.

For more professional players the game may look like:
Who is the winner? Score is 65-69, red need to play better!
So, the main thing is to watch the points and calculate the most profitable route, not forgetting to take into account the opponent's route!

It would be a good idea to try to find it yourself before asking:

That's a lot of effort put into this...I like it. Not only would this be a good WOF, but it also adds a bit of skill and strategy to the game, making the players think about their moves.

I only know one thing about wofs and that if it’s qilps then it’s 99% gonna be accepted

EnterGame

I like the effort. I also like the position. the only thing is that it seems the position has nothing to do with the letter 't'. overall, great position!

I posted 125 testing games. Or did you seriously think I would not follow the requirements?

Thanks @DarkKnightRisesV2, at least one person checks the correctness before saying anything.

Watch the spam please. Comment if you have something to add to the conversation, otherwise don't. "lol" is not adding to the conversation. We don't need our notifications to be spammed because you found something amusing and wanted to share that with the world.

Deleted 7 useless comments.

@S-Surya, @S_Srinivas, didn't DarkKnightRisesV2 explain where they are? Anyway, check the updated comment #3.

"Oh oh oh. OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!!! This name is perfect!!!!!!
Just. just perfect!!!!!!

Of course, we'll only accept it for this excellent name! Well done!

It's our new ideal! All the World has nothing to do better! "


I think you should add more walls.

I am always open to suggestions. However, suggestions without objective arguments cannot be admitted to consideration.

As some have already noted, a lot of effort has gone into this position. Any seemingly minor change can easily break the balance of this game. Even such a minor change as changing this blue pawn to green will open a winning line for red, but such a minor change as changing this dead king to blue pawn will open a winning line for yellow (so we have calculated all possible moves with the depth of ~24 moves to exclude forced lines).

DarkKnightRisesV2

I'm a hero I guess. I'm Batman? Uh oh too many Jokers in this discussion...

Yeah I have no suggestions for the actual position. It's fair and fun and all that. Plus, I can't see 2.4 moves deep anyway

TheChessDude991

Very nice combination of luck and strategy! One must think about how to go around the board to accumulate the most points, as well as avoid the zombies wink.png.

These people told me that there's no prejudice. But if I used this name, my game would be declined. 

Okay. I'm going home.
