My game with vickalan is getting close to the end, so unless someone else want to play with @Junebug444, then I can play. I'm always willing to moderate event chess games.

Yeah... that's exactly what I just said...

Fact: the first 10 pages of this thread took 11 months to fill. The next 10 took one month to fill.

I guess the variants are getting more popular!

Only an early player like hitthepin would know that!

I’m not THAT early. Tons of stuff happened here before I did:

JuneyJunebug (now Junebug444) became the world champion.

Martin0 beat Juney and became the world champion.

The Infinite Plain tournament began.

Eight pages of this forum were written.

The Guard, The witch, the time thief, and the joker were all created.

Ivan became the Waterloo world champion.

And so on.... Point being, I didn’t get here much earlier than you did!

If you want to find an early player, look for @vickalan .

... how did you get that so fast? I've never seen you on these threads before even people like hitthepin don't have those. Yes, you can start a thread. You know how witch works, right?

Anyone who needs a board with pieces in starting position can lift it from any game, and here is a template of the pieces (all pieces, in both colors, on both dark and light squares).

Try harder.

lol.😝 if anyone sees some pieces in a game, but you don't have the complete template just let me know. I'll be happy to send it to you. There's some pieces that aren't used much, and they can get new rules.

This is the reference post of all variants on the forums. We should quote this every now and then to keep it fresh. Thanks Vickalan.

If it's no bother, can I have a St George's Flag (England) instead of Union Jack (UK)? Cheers.

Glad everyone is safe after those crazy storms I heard about in England. Here's some updates. Is this the right flag? Also, @dirtguylawra posted at another thread that he will enter the tournament. All positions are now filled. The three newest players are representing India!

I'll start the game between Tomato and me tomorrow. @Junebug444 and @dirtguylawra, is it ok if I start a thread for your game on Sunday (3/4)?

Junebug444

That's perfect. I'll be ready grin.png

I can't believe Martin0 is the only player from Sweden, and he is the World Champion. So many Americans, a few from China, The Netherlands, England, and India. Can't anyone beat him???😝

Junebug444

Hm. Coming back into forum variants has inspired my creativity a bit. I'm trying to come up with a "team" variant to introduce grin.png

Not sure how I missed your post. Do you want to start an event chess game with @junebug444? If so, do you want to start the game now?

Martin0

Also, I have won my game against @SuperSam1. I managed to play a fancy checkmate which used both the time thief and the witch (and a rook).

Nice! Team variants can be really fun happy.png

Yes that's the correct flag, thank you Vick.

 

These storms have been fun. It's pretty calm out there right now but there's plenty of snow. Apparently the news showed a 15 foot drift (4,5m) in the town next to me, can't find an article though. I'm gonna go and investigate my garden, I was at a metre yesterday and we've had fresh snow overnight.

Anyone else want to play a game of Event Chess? I'm still new, so don't expect a challenge, but event chess looks like it can't not be fun.
