In the four corners game, you asked me to play, so okay. I'll play white I guess. My move: 1. e4
(Can you say the square that the guard and the bulldog are on. Certain images won't work for me for some reason, so I don't think I can look at your images. If I have the squares that the guard and bulldog are on, I can just keep track of the game myself)
Sorry for the inconvienience, but none of the images on the forums work (I have contacted the makers of chess.com) Because of this, I can't see the picture of the board. So I understand that it is played on a 10x8 board. So, could you please explain where the bulldog, and the guard are for white, and then I will keep track of the game myself. (For example, the guard is on square a1.) All I need is the location of the Gaurd ando the two bulldogs, and I will be ready to play.
The game so far is this:
1. e4...Ng6
Are you playing from a phone?
Let me know if you can see the image below. I used a .png file now (instead of .jpg).
.png files are better anyway because they are a little more clear (if you can see it).
Sorry, no.
Wow. Now it works. Just keeps posting the pictures. Sorry and thx.
Ok, great! I almost forgot what color I am. You're white. I last played:
1...Ng6
So your move now.
Okay. Good. Now we're ready. (I should be able to play more often now, rather than just one every day.)
2. Nd3
I usually only play one move a day. If I have extra time sometimes 2 moves, if I see my opponent replied soon enough. I'll play:
2...e5
Okay. I shouldn't be able to play more than twice a day either anyways. 2 at maximum.
3. Ng3
3...Bh4
4. i3 (it's so strange typing a move like that.)
Yes, you don't see files i and j in classical chess. You should see the notation for "Chess on an infinite Plane". It has negative file and rank numbers. If you ever want to try that game let me know. Here I'll play:
4...Bxg3
Yeah, it does look confusing. I've seen a couple of pictures from your other games. And yeah, I'll play you.
5. fxg3
OK, Great! So far the game "Chess on an Infinite Plane" seems mostly like chess but there's 3 new pieces. One is like your non-royal king (4-corners). The chancellor captures like "Rook + Knight". The hawk jumps two or three squares in the directions of a queen. I'll set-up a new thread for our game in a day or two. Should be fun! Here I'll play:
5...f6
6. Be3 (sorry about being late. Have you already made that thread.) [Infinite planew one]
Thanks for reminding me. I started a new thread for our game here: (Chess on an Infinite Plane).
For this game:
6...Bc4
Bulldog Chess is a chess-variant, and it too has variations including "Bulldog chess with Witch", "Bulldog Chess with Angel and Joker", and "Bulldog Legacy". (Many thanks to EvertVB for helping with game ideas!).
Played on a 10 x 8 board. Two new pieces:
2) Bulldog (D): Moves and attacks the same as a pawn, except pieces FROM ITS OWN ARMY ONLY can pass over it in any direction. If a bull dog reaches the 8th rank it can immediately move to any square in the first four ranks (but cannot capture a piece during this move). This move can only be completed during the same move it reaches the 8th rank. (If this option is not taken, the bulldog forfeits the right to do so later and therefore is stuck where it is). The bull dog does not promote to other pieces as pawns do.
Castling is similar as in classical chess, however, with the board 10 files wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king, either on the d-square if queen-side, or h-square if king-side. (note files are 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 guard is initially positioned.
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.
