My question is:

Can a pawn capture two pawns if they are in a subsequent diagonal position. For example if there are 2 white pawns in 2 diagonal spaces can they be captured in one move with the black pawn moving 2 diagonal spaces in one go?


Gary Gifford wrote on Sun, Oct 22, 2006 05:37 PM UTC:
Alison:  No.  The first capture ends the move.  Your question could also be asked of Queens, Bishops, and Rooks
 for non-diagonal (orthogonal) captures)... and even Kings.  In all cases, the single-capture ends the move.

Can you move a king to the opponents side of the board and redeem a captured piece?

COMMENT METTRE ECHECS ET MAT, ET CES CONSEQUENSE?

ryan wrote on Tue, May 8, 2007 11:40 PM UTC:
i heard that you always have to trap the king in chess.if you put him in check and the opponent does not make the right move, can you just eliminate it with one piece?

Comment posted 2005: any thoughts since?

Dear Hans and colleagues

I was having a game of XiangChi with another member of our club and
dropped by to see what might be new on your site;
I'm so impressed with all the effort you have put in on the content and
quality of this and other games since I was last here.  Keep up the good
work!

I was also vastly impressed with the neat comments system.  Is that
something you've devised yourselves, or a package that you've found
somewhere?  I was just about to sit down with some colleagues here and
try
to implement something similar for our own website at work
(www.sheu.org.uk), but would prefer not to re-invent the wheel if I can
avoid it.  Is the PHP coding something you can point me to, or are
prepared to share?

Thanks very much

Great site but you shoud know that the piece you call Mao is actually Ma. 
Ma is the Chinese word for horse, not Mao which can mean cat, feather or
hair, rivet and thick or dense, depending on the tone.

Not really so easy for a newb like me, so it defeats the purpose of learning, also, it is confusing as most of the time we can't trace the play the comp made, if we can't SEE the moves, again, how can we learn ? thanks

Why is there no 'maharaja' in the initial position?

How does one become a Contributor to Chess Variants?

I have a new Bishop Adjustment Rule that I want to publish (next to Carlos Cetina's BCR rule), and I have 3 news variants that I've created that I also want to publish.

David Howe wrote on Sat, May 10, 2008 05:51 PM UTC:
Jose, you are now a contributor. Please feel free to publish your variants...

Thanks David.

I did my first contributions, the Modern Random Chess variant:

Admins,

Can someone please update the Query page on 'M' items below:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/mainquery.php?type=Any&startswithletter=M&orderby=LinkText&displayauthor=1&displayinventor=1

to include the Modern Random Chess Game Courier preset:

Thanks.

Hi Admins,

A corrections for the What's New Page:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/whatsnew.php

For the week ending May 14, 2008 there are two Game Courier Presets entries for Modern Random Chess.

The one that says Author Jose Carrillo, Inventor Gabriel Maura, is actually for Modern Chess (not Modern Random Chess). The other one is OK.

A request: for the informational page for MRC64, can you add the text description 'Modern Random Chess 64' next to the link? (just like it was done for the MRC64 Game Courier Preset entry).

Thanks.

So I was curious; why can a pawn, upon reaching the opposite side of the chess board, not remain a pawn? I personally see no reason why this should not be included in the rules. I might even go so far as to suggest the pawn be allowed to begin his trek back across to where he came from.

I was playing a game of chess yesterday and my king had been put in check, but on my turn all i had to do was move my rook and then my opponents king would be check mated. Is it legal to check mate my opponent while i myself am in check?

Gary Gifford wrote on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 07:49 AM UTC:
If your King is in check you must do one of the following: (a) move your king out of check, (b) block the check (interpose), or (c) capture the checking piece or pawn. b and c do not work in cases of double-check and b will not work against knight checks.

You could not checkmate your opponent while leaving your own king in check.

Hi Ray, I cannot find you in the database. What is your userid?

ron forrest wrote on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 09:26 AM UTC:
When an opponent puts you in checkmate but does not realize it and calls check, is it still checkmate or does the fact that he did not call checkmate have some bearing?

🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 12:24 PM UTC:
It is still checkmate.
