This thread is a game of "Chess on an Infinite Plane" between @captaintugwash vs. @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.

null

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

null

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

null

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:
null

Orange brackets identify the "classical" corner squares (1,1), (1,8), (8,1), and (8,8).

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)

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

Haha I got white, so much for Tomato's opening!

captaintugwash

I must confess, it was me that challenged him... so I think he should be white?

vickalan

We can change it if you'd like, but I think you've played Black in both of your other games. If you want, I can change the opening remarks, so Tomato plays White.

HorribleTomato

(3,4) then... you be like, nvr mind

captaintugwash

 It's fine by me, I was expecting to be black and I think he's expecting to be white.

captaintugwash

Oh nice snipe...

HorribleTomato

I was going to add the Tugwash attack or something along those lines when I heard you might play white... but if you want black that is totally fine with me!
