Big-Dog Tournament: Yo-thats-fresh vs. HorusTheThird

Sort:
HorusTheThird

null

This thread is for a game of "Bulldog chess" between Yo-thats-fresh and HorusTheThird. 

The pieces:

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 right to do so later is forfeited). The bulldog does not promote to other pieces as pawns do.

null
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.

null

Board Setup:

null

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.

Misc: Pawns play the same as in classical chess. Pawns can promote to queen, rook, bishop, knight in addition to guard. Promotions are unlimited (not restricted to pieces that have been captured).

Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.

@Yo-thats-fresh plays white.

h6. Note the king and queen are not switched in comparison to classical chess.

Also, want to play white in our big-dog game (or do you already get that privilege)?

HorusTheThird

e6.Maybe we could convert this game into our bull dog one. It only just started, anyways.

Jakker4

Also, I'll probably need a board next move.

That is so cool - you guys are playing the original version of bulldog! It hasn't been played in a long time. I see this is converted to a Big-Dog tournament game and Yo is playing White, so I'll update the tournament info to make note of that.happy.png

HorusTheThird

Yo-thats-fresh: Me too. I have trouble keeping boards in my head for more than three moves. Blindfold chess is not for me.

vickalan: Thanks vickalan, for having taken on a part-part-part-time job to help us here!
