4P Gothic

Awesome! Can you go into your game archives and find that game, and post the link here?

Sweet.

Just three more test games to go!

I had a slight issue in the GIF that I made in the previous comment, but it's all good now. Just follow what it says, and you're good.

(@SPickwick, the game that you played is fine, even though I changed the GIF.)

We've played enough test games now! Feel free to keep playing the position, but we met the benchmark! Thanks guys.

Hey guys!

So, unfortunately, my position was declined by the CGAs (Custom Game Admins). HOWEVER, one of the CGAs (@bsrti) took interested in my position and worked with me to improve it. The new version looks a little funny, but it addresses issues in the original design.

With that said, I need 5 more test games with this new position. Please follow the instructions in this post, but use the following code instead of the old one:

R-0,0,0,0-1,1,1,1-1,1,1,1-0,0,0,0-0-{'noCorners':true,'enPassant':('','','c12:c11','l12:k12')}-
x,x,yR,yN,yB,yQ,yE,yK,yH,yB,yN,yR,x,x/
x,x,1,yP,yP,yP,yP,yP,yP,yP,yP,yβ,x,x/
bR,bβ,8,gβ,2,gR/
bN,bP,yβ,9,gP,gN/
bB,bP,10,gP,gB/
bQ,bP,10,gP,gQ/
bE,bP,10,gP,gE/
bK,bP,10,gP,gK/
bH,bP,10,gP,gH/
bB,bP,10,gP,gB/
bN,bP,10,gP,gN/
bR,bβ,10,gβ,gR/
x,x,rβ,rP,rP,rP,rP,rP,rP,rP,rP,rβ,x,x/
x,x,rR,rN,rB,rQ,rE,rK,rH,rB,rN,rR,x,x

What issues?

Apparently, there was an opportunity for RY to checkmate green on move 2 if green didn’t actively defend against it. Additionally, Green especially (but also yellow) had issues with development and the gameplay in the late game was found to be unbalanced.

Lemme know in a few days, and I might be able to play with you again.

Alrighty.
