Chess on an Infinite Plane (gamebooker14 - gyrados06)

Sort:
vickalan

This is game-3 of the 2020 Tournament "Chess on an Infinite Plane".

Rules:

The Pieces:

Black and White each have the following pieces (quantity and name):
1 king
1 queen
2 chancellors
2 rooks
2 bishops
2 knights
2 guards
2 hawks
24 pawns

All pieces move as in classical chess, with the "extra" three pieces moving as follows:

Chancellor (C) - Moves and captures as rook + knight.

Hawk (H) - Leaps exactly 2 or 3 squares in any orthogonal or diagonal direction. The leaping move means it can jump over other pieces.

Guard (G) - Moves and captures the same as a king but is not affected by check.

Pawns play the same and promote at the same rank as in classical chess. White pawns promote at rank 8, and black pawns promote at rank 1. Pawns can promote to chancellor, hawk, or guard in addition to queen, rook, bishop, or knight. Pawns may capture and be captured en passant with the same rules as in classical chess.

Board Setup:
Orange brackets identify the four "classical" corner squares (1,1), (1,8), (8,1), and (8,8).

There is no castling.

There is no fifty-move rule. Draws can only occur from stalemate, threefold repetition, agreement, or a proven case of insufficient material to force checkmate.

All other rules are the same as in classical chess.

Move Notation:
Numeric coordinates are used to identify piece locations as (file#, rank#). Parenthesis are used around each coordinate. Three examples of a move notation:
1) A rook moving from (8,4) to (1,4):
     R(8,4)-(1,4) or R(1,4)
2) A rook moving from (1,4) and capturing a piece on (0,4):
     R(1,4)x(0,4) or Rx(0,4)
3) A pawn advancing from (-1,7) to (-1,6):
    (-1,7)-(-1,6) or (-1,6)

I just played my game against Tug with black and here I am again. Sigh... nervous.png

For round-1 games I gave White to the players that I feel are newer or less experienced. (ChessNerd1836, hitthepin, gamebooker14, and aronian22). The players that I think are stronger have Black. (captaintugwash, vickalan, gyrados06, and HorribleTomato).

Is there any way to play this variation on the app?

Can't wait to see how this turns out. Have never seen you two play, so it'll be fun to watch.

This is my second game as I am new so that is why you haven’t seen me before.

Unfortunately there's no app for this game. If you want to play, you have to use an editor (like MS paint) to update the graphics. I enjoy moding (and watching) games, but unfortunately I can only do 2-3 at a time.

It's the normal 3-day time control. After 3 days either you can give a warning. After the warning the opponent has 24 more hours. For new games I'll usually send a message to a player who is not responding. (a reminder and not a warning).

I think gyrados is a strong player. He had one draw against me (although Tug analyzed the game, and said I was in a winning position). On our next game I made an inaccurate move, and gyrados took great advantage of it, and he got the win.meh.png

Gamebooker is currently in a game (here). Since the game is in-process I won't make any comments about it now.

Yes I know. I was hoping you would make an equal blunder but it never happened.meh.png

I think this game will be of great theoretical value to the Vickalan variation. My opening with the fianchetto (d4 Nf3 g3)hasn’t gotten any attention though :(
