Captaintugwash, we could use this musketeer chess board painter to play a game with cat and mouse. There are tons of icons that we can use. How were you thinking of incorporating them into the game? Musketeer chess? Or more like bulldog chess? I personally don't care how, the pieces just look so exciting to use !
I was thinking bulldog.
Thanks for the link. Here's what I've got...
oops bishops and knights are wrong way round, how amateur of me! But you get the idea.
Couldn't find a mouse icon, but that little guy, it could be a mouse with a hat on.

That looks good! Shall we start a game?

Hi
In the next months other icons will be added to the tool: Kangarou, Squirrel, Tiger, Gorilla, Rhinoceros; T-Rex (Tyrannosaurus Rex), Giraffe, Bull, and one alternate design for Chancellor and Archbishop.
If you have other suggestions please let me know. Ideally post sketches or pictures here.
Hi, thanks for your work!
For mouse, something like this maybe?
And cat...
These are just results of quick searches, obviously these images don't match the set, but similar pieces that do match would be nice.
hmm mouse image seems to have disappeared... let's try again...
edit - How odd, it's there in my preview.
Here's the direct link... https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSIWpZXHwTKhsXjZCiOSi0AYXhubSs_XpLhy_A73EvlHa6XzeZj
@musketeerchess2017
I tell you what would be really nice... a "flip board" feature, allowing images to be posted from black's perespective. Not sure if it's easy to do, but it's a suggestion. Thanks.

I would like to play vote Bulldog chess with Witch with teams of 2. perhaps if you have time vickalan you could be on my team? Teams can message each other to contemplate moves and strategy. I like the idea of two days per move + one day warning time frame. Anyone else wana play? I do not care whether I play White or black.

W. Or vs me? I don't care which.

That's a good idea, but unfortunatelly I'm already in several games (and also have some travel planned soon where I'll probably have less time to play). But I like the idea of vote chess. In theory, team chess should lead to better games I would think.
Kasparov once played chess against "the World", where the world voted on their moves. I think it was one of the best online games ever played, until chess engines ruined this type of play. But for bulldog it should work I think, since there are no engines.
I hope you can get a game going. If not, I'd like to try, but need to wait till I finish at least one or two games.
btw, a link to the wiki article for Kasparov versus the World is here:

That's a good idea, but unfortunatelly I'm already in several games (and I also have some travel planned soon where I'll probably have less time to play). But I like the idea of vote chess (or team) chess. In theory, team chess (players deciding on moves for one side) should lead to better games I would think.
Kasparov once played a game of chess against "the World", where the world voted on their moves. I think it was one of the best "slow-play" online games ever played, until chess engines ruined this type of play. But for bulldog it should work I think, since there are no engines.
I hope you can get a game going. If not, I'd like to try, but need to wait till I finish at least one or two games.
Awesome!!! NP. I did not know about game vs Kasparov! Did you know he has a masterclass on chess? I am thinking about getting it soon.
fyi: I edited my post and it now has a link to the Wiki article. Our messages crossed, so just want to make sure you noticed it.

Who said my friends were Tomatoes? What's your strategy? Do you eat lots of veggies? My friends are ALL EARS. Literally.
Sorry, I didn't start it yet. I promise first thing tomorrow. I just awarded medals on a game finished 12 days ago (Martin0's win to advance to the quarter finals). I didn't think a tomato has such a strong competitive spirit. I better not underestimate a tomato's power!😧
