This is game-8 of the 2018 Super-dog 16-player tournament, between @Junebug444 (White) and @dirtguylawra (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.

Junebug444 plays White. Good luck to both players!happy.png

3 day warning.

Juny waited four days and then issued the extra 1-day warning. It's been more than 24 hours, so @dirtguylawra is a no-show. @Junebug444 wins the game!happy.png

But too bad - I wanted to see Juny (the first world champion) play an entire game.sad.png

The medal ceremony and update to tournament bracket will be tomorrow.

I'll check that game! For this game, an interesting opening, but sadly dirtguylawra was a no-show. Junebug444 wins, and advances to the quarter-finals in the Super-Dog tournament. Congratulations to @Junebug444!
