Hi Destroyer_Mark_1420, I'm sure that vickalan will want to open another game with you if you want to play this game too.

Correction on the Joker: it has the same movement and capture abilities as the last piece the enemy moved with.
If I move with an Angel, your Joker wil then not be able to capture pieces.
This does not include special functions. If I move with my king then the royal function (check / mate) will not be applicable to the Joker.

Hi Destroyer_Mark_1420, I'm already in several games, but might have time for just one more (we usually only play about 1 move per day, but sometimes evertVB and I go a little faster).
Is this game version OK with you or would you like to try another version? I've been thinking about a game on a 10 x 8 board but the "a" and "j" files only have one pawn for each side and no other pieces (the pawn is on the first rank protecting its neighbor). Also each player has a rook and guard (instead of 2 rooks). If interested in any variant game let me know.

OK, that's what I assumed but I didn't spell it out. I added some clarity to the instructions: "The joker can also copy the angel's movement ability, but does not give immunity to its adjacent pieces" and "If a king moves, the joker can move like a king, but is not subject to check."
It's always a good idea to make sure the rules are as clear as possible. Let me know if I misunderstood anything.
Now I'll play:
2.Ng3
3.Rxj2

6.f4
The pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.
Other information on the guard can be found (here). (not particular to this game)
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 (white: d1 or h1; black c8 or g8). Note files are now numbered "a-j" with "a" and "j" being the new flanks. As usual when castling, all squares between the king and the involved rook must be unoccupied, and this includes the square where the angel or joker is initially positioned.
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
To all:
Please do not post any comments about this game here. I'd like to reserve this thread to just this game, and not go off-topic with suggestions, ideas, criticisms, etc.
