Battle of Morgarten II: McGoohan and HolographWars vs rychessmaster1 and CM thegreatauk
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
This is a four-player version of "Chess on an Infinite Plane".
Representing White is @McGoohan and @HolographWars (yellow and blue).
Representing Black is @rychessmaster1 and @thegreatauk (green and red).
Move order is shown here:
Each army has 38 pieces, for a total of 152 pieces on the board.
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.
Other rules:
There is no castling.
Capturing: Capturing a teammate's pieces is allowed. (This may be seen for example when a pawn captures a teammate's piece to promote).
Communicating: Allowed between teammates, but each player controls his own pieces.
Time control: Three days max per move.
Win Condition: To win a team must capture one of the opponent's kings, and checkmate the other. Kings still cannot be left in check, or placed into check (so can't be moved for an exchange). The first checkmated king is subject to capture (and removed from board). The lone surviving king must then be checkmated by the winning team.
notes:
1) When a team has two kings on the board, and one player has a king in checkmate, the player may not move the king, but may move any other piece. If the player has no other pieces, then he skips his turn.
2) When a team has two kings on the board, and both kings are in checkmate, then the opponent has won (a double-checkmate).
Other:
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.
Starting board:
McGoohan starts as yellow. Good luck to both sides!
Move Notation:
Numeric coordinates identify piece locations as (file#, rank#). Three examples:
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)
(fyi: you might be able to increase the image size by pressing Ctrl and using the mouse wheel).
This game is much stronger than the first battle, all armies have improved! Everyone here has graduated from West Point with top grades. Unlike the other game, the average rating is MUCH, MUCH HIGHER.
Who is this Luke_Hands? Hitthepin is far from top. Vickalan is decent but not very high, McGoohan is the only great player in the first Morgarten battle. No offense.
McGoohan is a great player, as mentioned before. I am decent, not the best, but I don't suck. Rychessmaster1 is a very neat and straightforward player. And finally, CM thegreatauk is titled.
