Off-topic Forum Chess Thread / Regarding Forum Chess
« on: October 18, 2013, 11:12:19 am »
The rules of forum-based chess at these forums are the same as the rules for normal chess.
The rules for four-handed chess are also as it says on the page. - Taylor
The notation used in chess can be read up on at Wikipedia, although I will add a thread here with the chess rules and chess notation, to make things a bit more easier.

TWO-PLAYER CHESSBOARD:


FOUR-PLAYER CHESSBOARD:


I think I missed something, I'm not sure. :-\

I also need someone to help out with the "sprites" for the chess units.

1 King (Black, White, Red, Blue)
1 Queen (Black, White, Red, Blue)
2 Bishops (Black, White, Red, Blue)
2 Rooks (Black, White, Red, Blue)
2 Knights (Black, White, Red, Blue)
8 Pawns (Black, White, Red, Blue)

How big would the sprites have to be, and from which perspective? Up, or side?

Well, if I have to guess, each square is about 50x50 pixels, if the chessboard is 400x400 pixels.
So I'd say each sprite should be about 40x40 pixels.
But that's Shane's decision.

As for perspective, I'd say that up would be best.
Again, that's Shane's decision.

40x40 pixels, with the up perspective.
Just as Taylor said. :P

As there are six chess pieces, and four colors (black, white, red, blue), that equals 24 sprites.
Yes, four-player chess exists. :P

Awesome. :))
I'm so going to play against you, Shane. :3
Maybe we can have a chess badge as well?

Anyone can join in, if they want to. :)

First post updated. The first chessboard needed those letters and numbers, for, say, "Rook to A6" or "Queen to D4".

I'll help on the sprites.



I can effectively do the Pawns, Bishops, and Rooks. Knights and the King and Queen will be too hard for me though.

I wonder if we could get together a larger chessboard than four players. 3D chess wouldn't be a good idea because it's... 3D and even though Otacon got me to liking it it wouldn't work via spriting, at least not easily.

Wait, how can we tell who owns which piece?

Perhaps you can put my pieces in one color (using [color]) and your pieces in another color (again, [color]).
Then Shane'd have to change the names of "Black" and "White"'s sides to "Green" and "Blue" (I'm guessing you'd go with blue, Richard, while Shane'd go with green).

Names can be symbolic, Taylor. :P

(Afterall, those are the traditional names of those two armies).

Anyway, has anyone heard of Chess 2: The Sequel?

(Rules to play it on a traditional chess board instead of through a video game are available).

Um.
I just went and took a third option by making Black pieces use the [i][/i] bulletin board code.

Also, I would DEFINITELY be Green no matter what. Chilling Green Slash~!

Oh wait, this isn't Grandia. :P

Richard meant G2, right? :P


Also, Shane, I like how you've captured two pieces so far. You're doing great! I'm rooting for you all the way! ;D

Why'd you move your pawn instead of capturing the Rook first?
You'd have gotten the King in check if you moved Bishop from c5 to f2 if the king was on g1.

Um...
I don't think that's a good idea.
There's most definitely a 99.99% chance that I'll lose in a most embarrassing way. :P

Okay, that 99.99% is an exaggeration, but still. :P
It could go either way.

Why'd you move your pawn instead of capturing the Rook first?
You'd have gotten the King in check if you moved Bishop from c5 to f2 if the king was on g1.

IGIARI!

If I did, I would have sacrificed my Bishop for just about nothing.

See? KarjamP had the advantage at that point; best I could do was try a back-up plan.
(Which failed, as KarjamP moved his King out of the way before my back-up plan could even be prepared. :P)
(What was my back-up plan? Only I know. ;))

Oh, and I just couldn't resist the Ace Attorney-style of the post.
I apologize sincerely for that, if I annoy anyone with it.

NOTE: I'm not sure about that, though, I'll go ask someone from TV Tropes, codenamed Egregious One.

Oh, don't worry about it, KarjamP.
While I'm not certain, I believe you may have the advantage here. :)

I consider you to be a worthy opponent. (Aaaand it's been years since I've last played chess, so it probably doesn't count, right? :)))

Okay, stopping with the randomness. I'm distracting myself here.
I like how you name your chess pieces.
Mundane Made Awesome? Perhaps; chess is already awesome, and naming chess pieces kick it up to eleven, in my opinion.

Actually, it was random.
And I'm trying to keep the spirits up of both myself, and my opponent.
(Although more often than not it'll probably cause havoc. :P)

I'll ask him, if that's your request, Taylor.

If he does, he's the moderator of the Chess boards. :)

Um.
Strategy?
Using the ability of moving his pieces around to force me to rethink my plans?
Asking the Purple Karjam for help? :P

Okay, that last one is possible in fictional worlds. :P

Seriously, though, I'd say KarjamP has more skill than I have; it's been years since I've last played chess, as I have said before.
I think it was 2005 or 2006 when I last played chess, I'm not sure. I'm gonna have to search the TV Tropes threads for that.

EDIT:
Yep, 2005.
So says this post.

As of now, there's a moderator for the Chess board - Dr. Egregious. :)

Wow, and you're doing well :o

I almost thought you were a natural.
Well, if I'm doing well, I'll probably lose. :P
From past experience (of other board games), whenever I did well I always lost. (Except in some card games like Yu-Gi-Oh! or Uno.)

Or perhaps that all was just a coincidence? :))

Shane, the point about Chess (and any other strategy games) is to not reveal your plans to the opponent, even if you're actually talking to Taylor.

Because then, I can read up your plan and counter against it.

I didn't read it, of course (except the sentence where you've stated you're planning to sacrifice your bishop), but still...

Um.
I never mentioned what my back-up plan was :P
And it never included the sacrifice of a Bishop, and neither did the original one.

I only mentioned a possibility, however: I took note of the Rook's location, and figured that if I were to take it immediately I'd lose a Bishop.
As for Taylor's question, she had asked why I didn't just take it, and why I just moved my Pawn instead.
I did it solely for the purpose of a back-up plan that has to be amended drastically.

Unless, of course, I missed something in the previous posts, in regards to the plans you were talking about.

Shane, the point about Chess (and any other strategy games) is to not reveal your plans to the opponent, even if you're actually talking to Taylor.

Because then, I can read up your plan and counter against it.

I didn't read it, of course (except the sentence where you've stated you're planning to sacrifice your bishop), but still...
He was only talking about what would happen if he had taken the Rook instead of moving his Pawn like he did.
Also, telling your opponent about your plans and still succeeding would make things interesting. That's what I think. (Then again, regarding Chess... well, you can tell I tend to favor offensive tactics :P)

So, Taylor, you're an offensive player?

Now I know to go defensive against you. :P

Also, weird dream.
