Avatar of JohnHS

This is a game of bulldog with witch between JohnHS (White) and Benjibass (Black).

Game rules:
Board: 10 x 8 (see image below).
The pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.

null

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:

null

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.

I play white.  Good luck!

You are using a computer right? It is quite easy to edit using MS paint. Your probably going to want to ask @vickalan for the template for the pieces.
Avatar of Benjibass

Could you ask him for it then give it to me..  Ok?

Then we can start playing.

I can do the updates.  If both people are doing the updates, then it spends a lot of room.  You can just type your move (just look at the board and decide what you want to play).  However, here is the template for board editing.

Knights moves are written with an 'N' instead of a 'K' because 'K' is used for King. Here is a guide to algebraic notation.

You can't take e5.  It's pinned to your king.  P.S. Sorry I was gone for so long.

It looks like he can capture on e5 to me. It just puts white into check.

Avatar of Benjibass

If i take e5 then you will be in check.
