Bulldog Challenge Game (Martin0 - evert823)
Sort:
Good luck to you both!
Particularly to @evert823 . (No offense, Martin0, but you just beat me, so ... 
)
Hey after this game is done, if @Martin0 wins (again) @Martin0 is going down!!! I challenge him to a game of bulldog (after this game is finished) unless he and @vickalin are willing to set up sometime in the near future!
@HorribleTomato: Martin and you can play, but it won't be a challenge to the title (if he still has it). Players cannot issue a challenge for the crown until they are "tier-3" (winning a game against someone who also won a game).
You can read about the tournament system on (this thread) (post #32). Also, due to the game being played more, I've been thinking of upgrading the qualification even more. I hope to post an update about the entire qualification process within a week or two.
But regardless, good luck in your games. This tournament is still new enough that anyone here might have a chance of stealing the title - you just need to win games.
Three days max per move, and after a warning 1 day more. Some fans have been doing a lot of drinking.😜

I agree. But when one player takes more then a day I wonder if they are studying diagrams and calculating. The tension is almost too much!

The witch makes the pawn transparent, thus, the White queen passes through it to capture Black’s pawn.
Ah... that makes sense
This is a Bulldog chess with Witch challenge game between @Martin0, bulldog World Champion (White) vs. @evert823 (Black) in a prize game for the crown. Martin0 is the two-time defending World Champion. Evert823 is one of bulldog's earliest players, and principle developer of the witch's rules in early games. This game represents the old guard coming back to challenge bulldog's current world champion!
Rules of correspondence play will be strictly enforced.
Game rules:
Board: 10 x 8 (see image below).
The pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.
Witch (W) - The witch is transparent to friendly pieces, and she also makes all adjacent pieces (friend and foe) transparent to friendly pieces (but pieces are not transparent for the witch). The witch does not capture other pieces, but she can be captured. Although pieces are not transparent to the witch, she is very agile; she combines the movement of queen, knight, and can jump orthogonally and diagonally two squares. Transparency of a piece means that other pieces can move, attack, and capture right through the piece.
Board Setup:
Note the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess. This is so the guard and witch are equal distance to each player's king and queen.
Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess, however, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and the involved rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of the witch and pieces made transparent by the witch.
Misc: Pawns play the same as in classical chess. Pawns can promote to queen, rook, bishop, knight in addition to guard and witch. Promotions are unlimited (not restricted to pieces that have been captured).
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
Martin0 plays White. Good luck to both players!
