Is promotion still possible after the 8th ranks has been cut?
Cut chess
Sort:
Maybe the promotion rank is the seventh rank? After the eighth has been cut.
For example. In this position, lines a, b, c, d, 8, 7, 6 are out of play.
If the white king makes the move f2, then line 1 will be out of play. The playing field cannot decrease any further, because its size cannot be less than 4 by 4.
Where would blacks pawns promote if Kf2? The second rank?
If I understood your question correctly, then the answer is yes. Because with the king moving to f2, line 1 will be out of play and line 2 will become the edge of the board.
That answers my question, cool game!
The game takes place on a standard chessboard, but the process of the game differs from classical chess.
The main difference between this type of chess is that during the game the playing field can be reduced. It goes like this. If after any player’s move there is not a single piece left on the extreme vertical or horizontal line, then this vertical or horizontal line is excluded from the game. Thus, the playing field is reduced. The playing field can be reduced to 4 by 4.
