Only thing, can anybody help me to let Xiangqi Pawn move sideways only on other half?

А так почему бы нет?

You should define separate pieces, with and without the sideway move, and then promote the latter to the former when it reaches 5th rank trough a morph.

I don’t know how to embed morph. It is probably not enough to write just morph, but something else.


H. G. Muller wrote on Fri, Feb 23, 2024 09:19 AM EST in reply to Lev Grigoriev from 08:04 AM:

Well, it is explained here. Just write morph=... on the line after the one that defines the piece, with ... a FEN-like representation of the board, indicating on which squares it promotes to what.

Please help. Where to write morphing, after which line and with which symbols, after or before, I should embed it? https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Different+Pawns+Random+Chess&settings=diffpawnrandom-coded&submit=Edit

Why would you need morphing for this variant? This is just a number of pawns all promoting in the same way in a regular zone, right?

Xiangqi pawn.

Ah, I see. Define different Pawns for each side of the River, and if X is the piece ID of the fsW type write on the line below the definition of the fW type morph=X/X/X/X (meaning it morphs into X on the furthest 4 ranks). Then convert the Diagram definition to GAME code.

All is cool, but I master GC preset.

Are you the inventor of Chinese Chess with Archer?

Hi! Yes I am.

Good! But Archer must stand adjacent to the king (e2,e9). https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Chinese+Chess+with+Archer&settings=def1

Nice! Is there possibility to add this preset to Game Courier, to play vs another player?


HaruN Y wrote on Fri, Apr 11 09:41 PM EDT in reply to Vitya Makov from 04:53 PM:

Didn't you just post a link to it?


Vitya Makov wrote on Sat, Apr 12 07:54 AM EDT in reply to HaruN Y from Fri Apr 11 09:41 PM:

It is not rules enforced. "Uncoded. No rules enforced. No legal moves displayed."


H. G. Muller wrote on Sat, Apr 12 08:13 AM EDT in reply to Vitya Makov from 07:54 AM:

If you want to convert an Interactive Diagram to GAME code, it would be better to start with a Diagram that enforces the piece confinement through a morph. This is supported in the generated GAME code. I am not even sure whether off-board legs are supported by it. But even if they are, the moves as defined in the current I.D. would make the preset very slow.

I think it would be easier to modify the Chinese Chess code (like I did for Modern Chinese Chess) than to use the game code generator. It's just adding one new piece

Archer
Dragon
Sparrow
Maorider

Wow! Thank you Daniel!
