Chess with Builder, Fool and Guard - vickalan vs evertVB

Sort:
evert823

This thread is for a game between vickalan and me, with a Builder, a Fool and I also added one Guard.

Explanation of the Builder: all friendly pieces adjacent to the same friendly builder inherit each other's movement/capture capabilities (without special functions like royalty). For example a white rook and white bishop adjacent to one white builder would both temporarily move like queens. The builder can only move 1 single step orthogonally, and cannot capture himself (but can be captured).

The Fool steps 1 square othogonally. It starts on a5 and after each white's AND black's move it 'automatically' steps, while following the trajectory a5-j5 j4-a4 a5-j5 and so on.

It cannot be captured, any piece that is overrun by the Fool, is removed from the board.

A Guard is a 'normal' chess piece with the king's move but without the King's royal function.

Vickalan has white so it is his turn.

EvertVB, thanks for setting up the diagram. I like the name "fool" and "builder" for the new pieces. This will be one of the most unusual game's I've ever played - those are interesting pieces! This game should be really interesting!
 
For the fool, will you consider using the image below instead?

The image you have I believe is for white and green squares. It might not work when he jumps on dark. The pic above might work better. In any case, I'll play:
1. Ng3

i7-g6

2. e3

2. ... h7-h4

vickalan

Oh no! I better start getting creative. You're making moves I never anticipated! But first my knight needs to escape.

3.Ne4

4. ... Bh7

One more thing regarding the rules. Suppose you would now consider Ng5, it would be illegal. The g5 square must be considered occupied, only after your move the Fool will step to h5. Bh5 would be legal but it would cause your bishop to be overrun immediately after finishing your move.

vickalan
OK, Those rules are the same as I assumed it.
Btw (not too important), but you showed your last move number as 4...Bh7, but I think it's 3...Bh7.
It doesn't matter much unless you are keeping a list of all moves. (I keep a file of each move and just keep adding to it).
Btw, you need to decide a letter code for the builder. BB?
I'll play:
4.c3

HGMuller already introduced the U for the builder.

jxj2, I will update the board later this evening.

vickalan
U sounds fine.
Since pieces are being captured, I went ahead and added space at top and bottom for captured pieces. I'll play:

Bj7 and I also stepped with the fool for your move.
