Do we need a new rule like the Brick?
We have the brick for declining En Passant,( not sure why though cause it’s forced). So, one of the Emus was playing a game recently. He had two pawns on an edge, let’s say a6 and a7. Kings on a8, and one of the opponents pieces is on b8. So, I… The Emu has a flash of brilliance and decides promoting to a Queen isn’t what’s going to happen and instead chooses a War Tower. Welp. King just moves into the empty space. Several moves later GG. Should there be a penalty for incorrectly under promoting and it costs the game, and if so what should it be? Asking for a friend.

Thanks to everyone who participated. This was an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decided the next move. The game also included Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game. Like how the Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo. Pawns can also promote to Knooks. Posts also contained placeholder moves put there by me because the show must go on and i’ll remove my own vote, so anyone else making a move would be higher ranked than mine immediately after its published. Placeholder moves can be upvoted and downvoted like any others. 1. d4 d5 2. Oe3 Og6 3. Nf3 Nh6 4. O-O c6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. h3 Bxh3 7. Ne5 Of4 8. gxh3 Nd7 8.5 Arbiters Note: Kingside Bishops who left board for Knooks to play return from vacation and can now be placed on back three rows on an empty square of their original colour (white square for white bishop, black square for black bishop). 9. Nxd7 Qxd7 10. Og3 Oxh3+ 11. Kg2 Oh4+ 12. Kg1 c7=B (Bishop returns from vacation) 13. Bg5 Bxg3 14. fxg3 Oh3+ 15. Kg2 Oxg5 16. Rh1 Qg4 17. Qd3 Nf5 18. Kf2 Qxg3+ 19. Qxg3 Nxg3 20. Rhg1 Ne4+ 21. Ke1 Oxg1 22. f1=B (forced move of bishop returns from vacation to block check) Ng3 23. 0-1 White resigns. Arbiters Note: Black is well ahead. Analysis from the current position leaves few possibilities. Ne4 can be immediately captured by either the pawn or the Horsey Of1# is a main threat. With nothing else able to capture the Knook, the only valid defence would be to move the King. Ke1 results in mate in 1 via Of1# This leaves only Kd2 and Kf2. Kf2 isnt a major advantage as King cannot capture either Knook or Horsey and a Rook capturing the Knook would be captured the move after by the Horsey. Kd2 doesnt look much different. If people wish to continue, they could host a game over at https://lemmy.world/c/anarchychessgaminglounge I also made another community for developers to talk about projects and adding AnarchyChess rule implementations to real games at https://lemmy.world/c/anarchychessdevelopers This game came about because i wanted to try and hack up a game with Knooks as a fork from Dreamchess, an open source Chess game with 2D and 3D boards and pieces. I succeeded and called the project "DreamyDesktop" there is a repository at https://github.com/PossibleEmuWrangler/AnarchyChess-DreamyDesktopPrototype . That repository contains functional code i downloaded and verified on a Raspberry Pi 400 but i consider it in sunset mode and will get around to putting those updates in a true fork of Dreamchess at https://github.com/PossibleEmuWrangler/AnarchyChess-DreamyDesktop If there is interest, i would consider hosting another game here, this one would be on a move a day cycle with "fixed" times of each side having roughly 12 hours to move and variance to give me flexibility to update. Adding more rules like il vaticano and Knight boosting would be considered although the rules would be locked in before the game starts. It wouldn't kick off for atleast a week. People would be encouraged to take a side and play on that side for the duration of the game. Leave a comment if you would be interested.

Ok. i mainly wanted to remind people that it was eagerly standing on the sidelines =) . In the post, the fine print says its a top level comment (i wasnt sure if it’d get lots of attention), but if the comment i reply to has the most votes, Kf2 is the move.

c7=B - Placeholder move. As noted in move 8, Kingside bishops went on vacation at the start of the game and can return with conditions.

Rh1 - Placeholder move . Edit I’m blind King is in check, this move is illegal. I was pretty tired when it was made. New placeholder move to be made.

This is an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decides the next 7. move. The game also includes Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game. The bishops went on vacation have returned (original games were only to last a day) and can now be placed on their sides back 3 ranks on an empty square of the colour they were originally on. White side bishop's -> white square. Black side bishop's on a black square. EG; Bc7=B. It your unsure of algebraic notation, just say the intended move.

Yes - They should both return simultaneously after a black move, people make extra comments where they should go.



Should the Bishops who left on vacation be allowed to re-enter the board, returning to a square of the colour they were originally to be on and in their back 3 rows ? (Whites bishop was on a white square, Blacks bishop was a on a black square)

Oxe5 (Knook captured Knight who just moved to et) Placeholder move. Note there was a typo in the title of this post saying it was open for 11 hours however the top post in 6 hours will be moved.

Ne5. - arbiter has stepped in and made a decision. The other top level comment mentioning 3 rooks has been retracted. Any votes for it don’t count as I can’t be sure an upvote for it was in response to it being a good question or for the move.

60 mins from now still on the clock for this move and two placeholder moves will be added to next time slot of ask for takeback and Whites 7th move be given another full timeslot.


Kh7 is the default move. Pawn is pinned and cannot capture due to the Knook. King advancing to capture.

Im putting in a default move so game can progress at time, but removing my own upvote so that any one elses move is higher than mine as soon as they make it. For comments with same number of votes, its my discretion however i’m leaning towards oldest move.


Two of the Rooks are actually Knooks and they can move as either a Rook or a Knight. They have the K “Tattoo”. They have the piece notation of “O” So the Knook on e3 can jump to capture the pawn on d5. It could also move to capture the pawn on e7 and put the King in check.

Anarchy Chessers were waiting two long for Garry Chess to release Chess 2.0 and started making their own pieces and moves. For a while there was a bit of which is better Knook or Queen discussion on another forum.

Other moves were made like Siberian swipe where Rooks can immediately capture other rooks, Knight boost where an underpromotion to Knight is balanced by allowing the Knight to immediately move, and il Vaticano, Two bishops which have two pawns on squares in between them can swap squares and capture the pawns in between. These moves are not legal in this game.

I forked an open source chess game (dreamchess) and wrote new code to allow promotion to Knooks and this open game is a way for me to help playtest the code changes were correct. I originally tried to complete games at a much shorter timeframe, but posts about moves hadnt fully federated before the time to complete them expired. Blitz didnt work, so ive switched to correspondence times.

To mix things up a bit, i changed the starting pieces so that Knooks replaced the King side bishops who went on vacation. They might be coming back soon. Pawns can promote to Knooks.

Moving the Knight as suggested could be a terrible move (Im like 400 ELO), while it threatens the Knook, the Knook can also legally capture it the next move. And if it does, the pawn could capture the Knook, so i personally can’t evaluate too deep, but hope this series of posts can give some more serious chessers something new and interesting to look at.


Rotating board to player whose turn it is will be default going forward. 1. d4 d5 2. Oe3 Og6 3. Nf3 Nh6 4. O-O c6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. h3 Bxh3 Timeframe changed to 11 hours for the long timeslot so I can walk it forward if needed. I mean it when i say it'll be after X hours, not surprise anyone with a 5 mins early move.

The screenshot of the board was manually changed in a image editor to show blacks point of view. Someone requested it be flipped for blacks moves.

Whole board rotated 180deg,

Then I flipped all the pieces vertically, saw Knooks k was wrong and flipped them horizontally. Did same for two Horseys, but not others.


(Kingside bishops went on vacation, Knooks started in their place. Knook is O in Algebraic notation) 1. d4 d5 2. Oe3 Og7 3. Nf3 Nh6 4. O-O c6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. h3 Board rotation should be standard now when its to move as black and have minimalist square notation of 1, 8, A and H. Rumor on the street is the Bishops only went for a short vacation and might be coming back soon.

Next move will have pieces shown from their perspective and probably some form of square numbering. From today times will likely be 6 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours. This gives 3 moves a day and sides alternate the long move time. Initial post with game FAQ: https://lemmy.world/post/2490148

Ignore the mouse cursor at c6. Knook has algebraic notation symbol of O and called up last minute to fill in for Kingside Bishops' who went on vaction, they wont come back while the game is running. 1. d4 d5 2. Oe3 Og6 3. Nf3 Nh6 Unless the game finishes earlier, Blacks 6th move will be significantly longer, around 8 hours due to sleep.

Black is slated to get a long time to move in a few hours ( to counter for moving second). If the game is still going 24 hours after that, white will get long time to move.
fedilink

Whites move and Blacks following move will be at 120 minutes, then afterwards it'll be 60 minutes for a few turns. The next post may have a delay in getting a graphic up
