Give my best regards to Bobby!

The purpose of the innovation (the rule of third pawn and other) is to get away from the draw stupidity and do the game more interesting (non boring) for any amateur.

The privilege of G and A is a worthy tribute.

The jumping mode JO or JD means that a piece can jump own way over one other (friendly or enemy) piece (hurdle).

Any chess piece captures an enemy piece on the square of destination.

Salute Zied!

It would be infair if Waterloo will appear earlier on the French server. Although Americans do not like me, but BattleChessGN18,  LXIVC  and Vickalan helped me at a critical moment and made an invaluable contribution to the development of this game. The French did not participate in the championship. The English, the Belgians, the Germans, the Russian and the Chinese simply ignore me. I am far from sentiments, but justice is justice. I am forced to lobby the American chess interests even to the detriment of myself. In the end it's a debt of honor.

It's a giant chess and a giant international (100- square) draughts in Parc des Bastions of Geneva.

What could be the answer of Waterloo players to conservative Grand masters?

“Learning is definitely not mere imitation or the ability to accumulate and conform to fixed knowledge. Learning is a constant process of discovery and never a concluding one.”  (Bruce Lee)

Personally, I was lucky. I was taught by privilege on this principle ("The Way of the Dragon" 猛龍過江 1972 Hong Kong). And if those who taught me, accuse me of something, then let them teach themselves a lesson.

I think it is silly for chess players to confine themselves to just one kind of chess.

Avatar of IvanKosintsev

Not at all!

Unfortunately, our possibilities are limited. You can achieve the high mastery only by devoting yourself to one favorite game.

This question is rather philosophical (Taoism). Do you keep in mind The Roads We Take by O Henry?

Those dancers are pretty awesome! The dance team from Western Carolina University probably won't dance to Tchaikovsky.sad.png But I like Tchaikovsky, and I can see the ballet dancers have practiced!happy.png

Кстати, балет "Лебединное озеро" очень близок по духу (сюжет, фабула, композиция, логика музыки, эпоха) шахматам Ватерлоо. И не случайно, мне посчастливилось слушать и видеть музыку Петра Ильича Чайковского в Большом театре, в Кремлёвском Дворце Съездов и в Киевском оперном театре, от которой у меня остались незабываемые впечатления на всю жизнь. Поэтому я крайне удивлён откровенным неприятием этих шахмат русскими и французами. Ведь для образованного человека, а тем более музыканта и шахматиста, приближенного к Императору, совершенно очевидно, что язык в этом случае не играет никакой роли. Мне бы очень не хотелось, чтобы гугеноты с их незатейливым юмором имели повод унижать иную культуру подобно паршивому койоту.

fyi, Ivan's comment translated (Ukranian to English) from Google translate:

By the way, the "Swan Lake" ballet is very close in spirit (plot, plot, composition, logic of music, the era) to the chess of Waterloo. And it is not by chance that I was fortunate enough to listen to and see the music of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky at the Bolshoi Theater, the Kremlin Palace of Congresses and the Kiev Opera House, from which I had unforgettable impressions for my whole life. Therefore, I am extremely surprised by the frank rejection of these chess by Russians and French. Indeed, for an educated person, and especially a musician and chess player close to the Emperor, it is quite obvious that the language in this case does not play any role. I would not really want Huguenots, with their uncomplicated humor, to cause another culture to be humiliated.

I also like ballet, and I see that it has similarities with Waterloo - precise, carefully planned, and using strong classical elements. Jazz is fun too - here is the WCU pep band and dance team again.

But I don't think this would be performed in the Kiev Opera House.sad.png

But it's still fun like some crazy chess variants.happy.png

(Skip the first minute).

Sorry if this thread has gone off topic.tongue.png

This is rather Breakdance  "Best Breakdance Ever Compilation 2016 ( BBoy Battle )".

 But Jazz is similar to Fever of Peggy Lee.
