Tournament Summary - Chess on an Infinite Plane


Not that there's anything wrong with the current setup, but what would you guys think about a more compact (safer) setup. I also added the archbishop (moves like bishop + knight).
Oh I just realized this isn't safe the rook could be trapped on move 2

There is also a pawn that can move forward to block the diagonal. It is true though that there are a weakness there.

Does anyone want to play a game?
challenge accepted.

The Championship game is finished, with the final game lasting more than six months. SuperSam1 defeated vickalan in a game with checkmate announced on move 169!

That was a weird win. I won on time vs. Farmer2013 and Vickalan withdrew for our first game, meaning I only really played one game.

I withdrew from one game because I was on the bracket twice. This tournament started when it was hard to find players, and some new players were unreliable and just disappeared (like your win when Farmer was a no-show).
Even after the tournament started a lot of new talent has developed. @HorribleTomato, @captaintugwash, and @Naviary, to name a few.😱
I'm ready to see some new top-talent games. Wondering if any will take six months again (or more).😨
