There's a discussion about that here... https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess960-chess-variants/value-of-pieces-for-infinite-chess

Prior to this game, I considered HTP to be an underdog. I wish Tug wasn't watching this happen.😅😬😅

vickalan

62.Cx(3,3)...Cx(3,3)


vickalan

By material, this is roughly CHB (Black) vs. QRG (White). But I'm down by two pawns, and it's White to move.😨😬😨

(No other comments on the game-status by spectators please).

Is anybody else’s notifications acting strange?

resign.

I just realized you forked my king and chancellor. I have no chance to win from here. My blunder 60...B(3,5) also pretty much sealed my fate. Good game. Congratulations to HTP.

(I'll post updates about the tournament soon).

Well played HTP, a fortunate victory because I think Vick had a forced checkmate at one point, certainly he was better.

 

gg to both.

White to move here, he plays Bx(-2,8). This allows C(3,-1)+

From here, Vick can most definitely continually check the king to draw, and can probably force checkmate. K(7,0) is mate in one with C(5,-1)#, so the king must go back. From there, it's a bit too much analysis for me to be certain there's a checkmate, but with accurate play I think black is winning. I might take a deeper look later to see if I can find a checkmate, I'm sure I found something while watching the game.

It's chess but the board is infinite in size. Also there's extra pieces, the hawks and guards. Hawks jump two or three squares diagonally or laterally, guards are basically kings but can be captured.
