This game was a short one.

Yeah, a very short one indeed. I think you had to play 11...CAd6 which allows 12.Jxg7 CAxg7 13.Qg2 when I have some pressure (maybe decisive if played correctly, not sure) and your Crippled Amazons are not coordinated. This said 10...Jg7 might not have been a good move (10...CAc6 was natural). The checkmate was a bit cute though, not everyday you get to do a smoothered mate.

Wow, you guys finished a game in the same time that I've waited for some people to play one move.

And the final details for rules were finished by post #10, and the game finished by post #31 (3:1 ratio).

I know you guys are both good players so I take this to be a consequence of the game, and not blunders. Good work on the game design, and on the game.happy.png

Well, everyone of all rating levels make blunders and evert missed a mate in 1. It was just a consequence of the game though and not some other reason like misinterpretations of the rules.

Even though the game was short I must say that these pieces were fun to play with though. Very well designed.

I would have wanted to see it work in the end game - they can mate a lone King together without help.

The joker got the movement of the Crippled Amazon. So since blacks joker is not in knight distance away from a crippled amazon, it can only move like a knight.

 

Similarly, if a queen moves like a bishop, the enemy joker can move like either a rook or bishop.

There's no checkmate, but if 12...Bh7 my joker would just capture his joker and I won a piece.

The move that made the most sense was 12...CAcd6. Then the CA on f7 protects the joker and both CA guards the g6 square. Far from over there.
