HaleBopp, can we agree to a 3-day move limit for this game? Friedmelon is waiting to see who he plays for the semi-final game.
Infinite chess - May 2017 Game
Sort:
@HaleBopp - it's been 21 days for you to move. If no move within a day I'm calling this a no-show.
Ok, This game is a no-show by HaleBopp.
Hello, shame this got timed out, I was enjoying this thread and was hoping to see some tactical action. Are there any completed games? And did you fill those other slots?
There's a few finished games both with me and other players, such as (cobra91 vs vickalan) where he defeated me. If you'd like to play leave a comment (here). There's been a few comments by other possible players in other threads. If someone else will play I'll be happy to moderate the game.
(also check out Martin0's thread for (4-player-bulldog). It's not nearly the same as infinite chess, but could be fun if we can get four players total).
Thank you vickalan, I just had a look at that game, very interesting and I'm glad it (almost) went to mate. That manoeuvre with the chancellor to deliver mate, I missed it and it's a beautiful delivery. I understand this is your creation? Well done, it's an excellent concept. Also well done to cobra for playing a solid game, I didn't see any inaccuracies on his part (not that I'd know).

If you can find an opponent, I can mod the game for you. I'll try to do a board update about once every two days. You can ask for an opponent (at this thread). Just mention what game you'd like to play.
what is this lol

This thread is for a game of "Chess on an Infinite Plane" between HaleBopp2017 and vickalan.
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:
A red bracket indicates the a1 (1,1) square.
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#). The "a1" square is (1,1) and is marked on the chess diagram with a small red bracket. Increasing files are to the right, and increasing ranks are toward the back.
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)
HaleBopp2017, you may play White.

Do you understand the (file/rank) coordinate system of this game?
If you can find an opponent I can mod a game. but I'm a little too busy to play a game myself unfortunately.
I don't think there's any demand for Infinite Chess right now. There are only a few active players, and only vickalan who moderates. Unfortunately Vick's health has not been good in recent months, and until he returns I personally have no interest in playing.
Frankly, Vick's absence since March is a deep concern for me, I hope he is ok.
14...(7,4)
