New pieces and rules:

 

Backwards pawn:

Represented by a upside-down pawn

Moves diagonally up a square and captures directly forward

It can move two squares diagonally it's first turn

 

Guard:

Represented by shield

Moves and captures like a king but is not affected by check

My friend @vickalan made this piece

 

Archer:

Represented by bow and arrow

It moves like thisnullThe dots indicate where it can capture, the x's indicate where it can hop(like a knight)

It does not move while capturing

 

Lightning:

Represented by lightning cloud

It moves like a king, when it captures it explodes destroying itself and all other pieces around it(friend and foe)

 

No en-passant

Wow, pretty amazing. I like the lightning. It's a multiple capture piece. That's something I would like to try sometime. Since it captures both friend and foe in one move, the material calculation during a capture could be interesting.


Good graphics too - I like the gold color on black especially.gold.pnggold.pnggold.pnghappy.png

how you gonna write your moves?

Avatar of silvertruck

Notation is the same as regular chess except the coordinates have parentheses around them.

backwards pawn=BP

pawn=P

archer=A

guard=G

lightning=L

rook=R

knight=N

bishop=B

queen=Q

king=K

 

ex.

an archer moving to j10 would be A(j,10).

Avatar of silvertruck

lightning "striking" would just be Lx(wherever the lightning is)

Avatar of silvertruck

should the logo be this or something else?
