Hey, all! This is the latest installment in my series of variants. (I think this is my 5th.) The pieces, powers and rules have been created. With those in place, however, I'm now looking for test runners. Please let me know if you're interested in helping me develop this game. It will be

So, Muskateer, I was google-searching Fairy Stockfish. It lead me to these pages where I download a bunch of random files that I don't know how to open.

Where is the actual .exe application program that I can open and use?

If you are looking on places such as github, you have to download those files and run them yourself. If you don't know how to do that, try looking up a tutorial or get someone else to help you in person. But just from a quick google search, I don't see any ways to just download a complete stockfish program for fairy variants.

I see. So, the program isn't 'user-friendly', I'm gathering?

Musketeer2017, I'm sorry if you've been waiting a long time for the update. I didn't get around to it for one major reason: I'm now actually working on Version 2c.

(Namely, Dax00 has a point that a I eventually came to somewhat agree with: more turns should past before a Dragon is allowed to be hatched! In the 2c update, I'm requiring at least 1 more opponent's turn to past before an Egg is eligible for transformation. Also, I'm trying to make the game easier to learn, at least by a slight; I'm updating the powers of the pieces, so that they all are a bit more similar to each other.)

With that being said, don't even worry about the google doc above. In a few days. I will start a new thread to request testrunners for v2c. =)

Thanks for the thought, all the same, though.

Hi

I’ll wait. It’s not easy to have a good game you invent and it’s a natural process. Beta testing humanly and with the help of engines is essential.

best regards

Hey, MusketeerChess2017,

You've been waiting a really long time, and you're probably wondering where I am in V2c.

I've been on and off the project these past 2.5 weeks. Right now, I'm spending 2 days rendering this really awesome GIF diagram.

I just wanted to come back to give you a light update, just so that you're not kept in the dark; and know that I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth with this project.

It should be ready soon. Thanks for your long patience. =)

MusketeerChess2017, it's ready! Hope you are still interested.

Not too many rules have been changed; just a couple of pieces and parts of Dragon play.)
