Chess on an Infinite Plane: Fly-Eagles-Fly versus HorribleTomato

Sort:

This thread is a game of "Chess on an Infinite Plane" between @Fly_Eagles_Fly (White) and @HorribleTomato (Black).

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 four "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)

Why? Did he already do this opening? I didn't see it in your post here.

You should save your opening for a first move and not a side variation!
Fly-Eagles-Fly

Well, I can still name one after eagles. This one has hawks in the name happy.png.

HorribleTomato

Technically, your defense can also be characterized by 1.H(8,-3) (3,5) 2.(5,4) So I think of this as Fly Hawk Fly Attack.

If you could, that would be great. You don't need to show all the pieces, though. Maybe just show them in relation to my left pawn/hawk formation?
