Big Dog #2 Game (JamesAgadir vs Martin0)

Sort:

This is a bulldog Chess with Witch game between @JamesAgadir (White) and @Martin0 (Black). The game is part of the Big Dog #2 Tournament.

Game rules:
Board: 10 x 8 (see image below).
The pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.

null

Witch (W) - The witch is transparent to friendly pieces, and she also makes all adjacent pieces (friend and foe) transparent to friendly pieces (but pieces are not transparent for the witch). The witch does not capture other pieces, but she can be captured. Although pieces are not transparent to the witch, she is very agile; she combines the movement of queen, knight, and can jump orthogonally and diagonally two squares. Transparency of a piece means that other pieces can move, attack, and capture right through the piece.

null

Board Setup:

null

Note the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess. This is so the guard and witch are equal distance to each player's king and queen.

Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess, however, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and the involved rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of the witch and pieces made transparent by the witch.

Misc: Pawns play the same as in classical chess. Pawns can promote to queen, rook, bishop, knight in addition to guard and witch. Promotions are unlimited (not restricted to pieces that have been captured).

Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.

Good luck!

Out of opening theory before I got to play a second move... meh.png

I guess I am so much weaker you could (well will) play any move and still win. I guess I'll take my time to calculate the move

This is not me playing bad opening moves to trick my opponent. This is me trying out a new opening. I don't want to be a one trick pony that always play the same opening.

I'll take the bait. I play f4

Let's not discuss whether it is a sacrifice or how much the witch is worth for obvious reasons.
