Vivarta Chess. Chess with many transformations.

yeah

like if you played vivarta capablanca chess, what would happen?

rook>>>cardinal>>>marshal>>>queen>>>pawn    I think so

there is no castling, no en passant

yeah makes sense

cardinal=knight+bishop and marshal=knight+rook right?

(i know these as archbishop and chancellor btw)

en passant makes sense

why no castling?

to simplify the rules Positions are already extremely complex

ok got it

true

i think 1.nf3=b might be good to eventually move the rh1 since no castling

also, no castling makes the kings weaker and thus the game crazier imo

1. knight openings seem good to get new queens(this is nothing but optical) and then central pawns might become a thorn for the opponent i think

2. e4=N e5=N isn't good i think

then Nc3=B attacks black's N and we get this game but reversed(with g6=N)(also i seem to be in trouble with white, let alone black)

since that doesnt seem sportsmanlike to discuss i think we'll do that later

true

and yes, also rb8=Q and white is in trouble

I was also rejecting nf3=b because e5=n and if white does nothing nxf3=b gxf3=n but i think white is better there

1.nf3=b looking good so far (also nc3=b)

yeah
