Chess on an Infinite Plane (aidanB1 - HorribleTomato)

This thread is a game of "Chess on an Infinite Plane" between aidanB1 and HorribleTomato.

Rules:

The Pieces:

Black and White each have the following pieces (quantity and name):
1 king
1 queen
2 chancellors
2 rooks
2 bishops
2 knights
2 guards
2 hawks
24 pawns

All pieces move as in classical chess, with the "extra" three pieces moving as follows:

Chancellor (C) - Moves and captures as rook + knight.

Hawk (H) - Leaps exactly 2 or 3 squares in any orthogonal or diagonal direction. The leaping move means it can jump over other pieces.

Guard (G) - Moves and captures the same as a king but is not affected by check.

Pawns play the same and promote at the same rank as in classical chess. White pawns promote at rank 8, and black pawns promote at rank 1. Pawns can promote to chancellor, hawk, or guard in addition to queen, rook, bishop, or knight. Pawns may capture and be captured en passant with the same rules as in classical chess.

Board Setup:

Orange brackets represent the four corners of the classical board.

There is no castling.

There is no fifty-move rule. Draws can only occur from stalemate, threefold repetition, agreement, or a proven case of insufficient material to force checkmate.

All other rules are the same as in classical chess.

Move Notation:
Numeric coordinates are used to identify piece locations as (file#, rank#). Parenthesis are used around each coordinate. Three examples of a move notation:
1) A rook moving from (8,4) to (1,4):
     R(8,4)-(1,4) or R(1,4)
2) A rook moving from (1,4) and capturing a piece on (0,4):
     R(1,4)x(0,4) or Rx(0,4)
3) A pawn advancing from (-1,7) to (-1,6):

     (-1,7)-(-1,6) or (-1,6)

aidanB1 plays White. Good luck to both players!

What is the time control, or is there a time control?

just make a move about once a day

1. N(6,3)

If no one specifies a time control, we normally assume 3 days max. After a warning you get one more day, and if no move you're a no-show and lose. It could be useful for people who disappear, and the other side wants the win (instead of waiting forever).

You can also read detailed rules at correspondence-chess-rules.

1.N(6,3)

(4,7)-(4,5)

Nx(4,5)

Yes, that's a good system, especially if the players want to play a little faster. Anyone can use it, they just need to say so.

aidenB1, your knight doesn't reach there yet. Can you play a different move?
1.N(6,3)...(4,7)-(4,5)

(4,4)

Thanks aidenB1,
