Hurt/Heal Chess Variants

Sort:
Avatar of jtt96

Basically pretty self-explanatory.

1. You may only vote once per day
2. All options start at 5 points
3. On each turn you hurt one engine and you heal one engine
4. Hurting an engine brings its score down by two
5. Healing an engine brings its score up one
6. If an engine goes down to zero, it is eliminated
7. Illegal votes are ignored
8. All times are measered by the time in the green part of a post.

NOMINATION RULES

9. For 7 days the thread will be open for nomination. This will be from the point when the topic is submitted, till Jan. 20, 2011.
10. During the time when it is open for nomination, no voting will be performed, but new variants will be added to the list.
11. To add a variant, simply mention it in a post and I will add it to the ballot
12. Variants will be verified - if you can give a website or The Chess Variant Encyclopedia as a source, your nomination will be accepted more quickly.

Unofficial Request: If anyone sees anything that could be improved in these rules, please let me know and I will improve it next time I do a hurt heal. Feedback on the Nomination time is also appreciated.

I will start by nominating Chess and Shogi. I cite the Chess Variants Encyclopedia.

I will now make a 'ballot' section and add these variants.

Thank You.

I am sorry. :( There has not been sufficient interest. :( I would be glad if you opened up your own thread on hurt/heal, but this thread is now dead.
