Bob Greenwade's SVG Library. The SVG files used in Bob's library of pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have some more piece requests—only if it's no trouble of course. The last two are least important.
- a combined Unicorn and Pegasus
- Courier (could be a sealed letter?)
- Courier Pawn (pawn with top part like small courier)
- Guard Pawn (pawn with small shield)
- Chipmunk
Centaur. Moves as Knight or Man. AKA Crowned Knight.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]For representing this piece, why not do something similar to this?
In 3D it could be a regular knight except with an eight pointed collar or base to indicate the extra moves.
Does this work like you wanted?
mcadsaumzWmcacsamzWmasamzW
if that's what you want I think you could remove the third W move so it would just be mcasamzWmcacsamzW
Hundred Acre Chess. Chess based on Winnie-the-Pooh. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This is a very unusual variant. It appears to work despite the seemingly excessively jumpy Owl. The game is very sharp, which I like. The donkey's feel mostly useless, but that might fit the theme? I wanted to get it working with ChessV but couldn't.
I'm rating it Good (why is there no Average rating option, by the way?) because I like the creativity and emphasis on diagonals.

I have some that I think are ok, but one thing I want is ski pieces and I haven't thought of a really satisfactory way to do those
I'm trying to avoid skis so I can also include ski-ski-pieces. Currently my best idea is two circles, one black and the other empty.
Another thing I'm trying to think of is how to represent visually KSNTCZ
Ski-ski such as [H?fR]
It'd depend somewhat on what the piece is called.
That's not clear either
Eggs are represented as white or black checher pieces
should be checker I think
The future of a Colony is destroyed by fulfilling just one of the above conditions, not all of them.
This would be more clear if you replace the bolded section with "any of the above conditions"
Board 8x8 Game Mix. Game with fairy Chess, Draughts & Lines of Action elements. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This would be fun to try. I love the idea of using Lines of Action pieces in Chess. Did you consider having the Liners start on the opposite side of the board to make a true LoA winning condition (uniting your own pieces) possible?
Thunderstruck Server Chess. {This game seems broken…}. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think this is it

No, should be this

The Fairychess Include File Tutorial. How to use the fairychess include file to program games for Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]There's a small mistake in fairychess. Wizard-Desc says "The %s Wizard may move" which would result in duplicating the piece name if shown.

Same thing, a messenger.
The Fairychess Include File Tutorial. How to use the fairychess include file to program games for Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I'm having trouble with pawn promotion in this preset. I've set wprom and bprom and promotion does work, but it's not being optional like I expect. Instead it just auto promotes pawns as soon as they reach the promotion zone. As far as I can tell, there should be a promotion choice before the last rank even if there's only one item in wprom.
I did copy from Gross chess. The descriptions should be fixed now
Bob Greenwade's SVG Library. The SVG files used in Bob's library of pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Oh, sorry, I'm using for yafodaubBcB. It's a bishop that must move the farthest distance in whichever direction it goes, which seems to fit with a running name.
The Fairychess Include File Tutorial. How to use the fairychess include file to program games for Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thank you, that does work better; although I still don't get why the previous way wasn't working since I wasn't changing the pawn subroutine which seems to modify promotion options before the last rank.
Anyway, this reveals another, but more minor, problem, which is that when a pawn gets to the promotion zone the text in the option selection box is large enough that the lines overlap slightly.

Home page of The Chess Variant Pages. Homepage of The Chess Variant Pages.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have two unfinished submissions, but when I try to edit either of them I see "Since this is not a Game Rules page, please move any content here to the top section."
They are both meant to be Game Rules pages, so could someone fix that?

Could I have the ItemID of this page changed to match the changed title?
