Waterloo

I'd like to try this game

O.o

Come now. The world's about love, Ivan. ^-^

Many billions kisses! It's great.

Well, LXIVC makes the first move.

Rules: http://chess-checkers-go.blogspot.com/2016/01/waterloo-4th-edition.html

It will take me a while to become familiar with the rules. 

It would be easier if you had pictures of the pieces' movements.

I need two days. You can ask any questions. Please write your opinion on pawns (classical or native Waterloo). It is important.

I prefer pawns with only forward movement, if that's what you mean.

Pawns are considered the weakest piece on the board, and yet, they are the most complex. (Unless you have played my variants) No other piece on the FIDE board has a capturing power that is different than its moving power.

1. f3-f5 d8-d6.

You can find the pictures of the pieces' movements in articles: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Chess

and

by link of well known pieces.

I think easier to play BC variation (see party 1 above) with FIDE pawns (excluding c and h) and with the traditional castle.

How exactly would castling work?

I assume the king would go to b1 or h1. Is that correct?

1. f3-f5 d8-d6.

2. d3-d5

O.K.

It's BC idea: the King can jump towards to the side of the castling over Rook&Marshall (jumps over Rc1 & Md1 to b1 or jumps over Mf1 & Rg1 to h1).

So you move three pieces when castling?

Ivan, that was just a mild suggestion back then. Your original rules stated that there was no castling, so I think we should simply go along with that; to preserve your own innovations.

I'm apologist of Free Chess. Every player has right on his own taste and on his own philosophy of chess. So players can choose and change on agreement the rules before the tournament and (why not) before the party.

That's something similar to Jazz.

1. f3-f5 d8-d6

2. d3-d5 g8-g6

- So you move three pieces when castling?

- Yes! I propose the new term: Double Castling.

I have some more questions.

Can the knight move on to the guard, or is it just the other way around?

If either the rook or the marshal moves before castling, can the king castle with the remaining piece?

1. f3-f5 d8-d6

2. d3-d5 g8-g6

3. f5xg6

No, it's unnatural and confusing to the game. Only a move of G on N is allowed (G+N=J).

We follow the chess traditions. Any move of the castling piece (K,M,R) means a loss of the castling.
