Unless you have a suggestion, I will use an upside down queen for the dragon and an upside down guard for the spider.

My move was the Vickilian defense, but I don't know if openings count if they're used for Musketeer chess on an infinite plane. I just asked HorribleTomato over on the infinite chess openings thread.

3. N(6,3) ...(5,6)
Is it okay if I only do board updates every other move?
Musketeer
This thread is a game of "Musketeer Chess on an Infinite Plane" between thegreatauk (White) and Fly-Eagles-Fly (Black).
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
24 pawns
The hawks will be replaced by two pieces from this website as chosen by the players:
http://musketeerchess.net/games/musketeer/rules/rules-short.php
All pieces move as in classical chess, with the "extra" three pieces moving as follows:
Chancellor (C) - Moves and captures as rook + knight.
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:
Orange brackets identify the four "classical" corner squares (1,1), (1,8), (8,1), and (8,8).
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#). 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)
We start by choosing a musketeer piece.
Waredude plays White. Good luck to both players!
