Colorbound Chess. Pieces never change their squares’ color, so army is divided into two halves – attacking and defending. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Images of pieces are not yet made, but can you review – is the text acceptable?

This page is ready for your review, please look at it.

Please review this page…)

This is rather intriguing.

Just a thought, but it would probably work better to either:

  • Have all pieces on the same color
  • Have two Kings, one for each color, and only require one of them to be checkmated to win.

This is since only half the army can reach the enemy King in the current version, and would be quite drawish if that half got depleted.

The page works quite well in presentation though.

Also, when you modify a page, if you change the Modification date in its metadata so that it is more recent, you can push it closer to the top of the Unprocessed Submissions list.

Added second thought as a variation.

I have approved this page.

Some of your wording could use some work, again owing to your Russian roots. However, the page does its job.

Is Parabola embeddable as XBetza?

On this board, the XBetza would be FDY. You'd have to use a 10x10 board to get that (3,9) leap you mention, making it FDYGXX. (The next step up, if my figures are correct, would be FDYGXXAYXXXX, requiring at least 17x17.)

Read the page properly. Parabola doesn’t leap, step must free to let go farther

Oh, I'd misunderstood it (my error); it's kind of like a "Parabolic Rider." If bracket notation were fully implemented, the 8x8 could be done with [F?C], but that doesn't work right now, so you'd need FafmpafsmpafF. I think the 10x10 ([F?C?NX]) would be FafmpafsmpafafmpafsmpafmpafmpafF. I'm not ready to calculate out the larger [F?C?NX?FXX] (16x16).

Bracket notation there sucks up, so thank you for the 8x8’s notation. Second

  • should include both steps, but camel-wise and then ibis-like
  • current is wrong because is (6,9) instead of (3,9)

thx for effort anyway;)
