I present to you one of my best chess variants:

[the-chessboard-is-personal]

tpot

I was going to put an easy way for you to skip the Yoylechess analysis but actually you don't get one because. come on, you're reading a liveblog. you're a nerd too.

(/silly)

ep2 34:56 - I knew it. I knew that was going to happen ep2 36:06 - what is Two writing.

ep3 20:53 - woahh double elimination

ep4 0:04 - CHESS MENTIONED. the need to analyze this chess variant as much as possible is,.rising

ep4 3:05 - yo that Cake at Stake song!

ep4 7:39 - CHESS MENTIONED (again). if anyone mentions chess One more time I won't wait until the end of the episode to make a comprehensive compilation of everything that is known about Yoylechess

ep4 8:00 - what. the. the what. THE WHAT ??? actually. hold on. ...hey I have a theor[I glitch out of existence right before I hit the ground]

ep4 11:28 - Yoylechess is played on a red and white 8x8 board, usually on top of a life-threatening rollercoaster. The pieces are green and purple, with one player playing as the green side and the other as the purple side.

here is a 3D mockup of a Yoylechess board. I will not be making the pieces oh what the fuck

.anyway

as opposed to chess, it doesn't matter which color of square is in the lower-right corner upon starting a game of Yoylechess. (confirmed episode 4, 11:11 where a light square was present as opposed to the dark square they were using before) we get a really good visual of each individual piece at exactly 0:40, but only one of the piece names, the FreeSmart Supervan, is known. with this knowledge, I will give temporary names to the other pieces until the real names are known.

the "Yoylepawn". at the very beginning of episode 4, Pillow can be seen moving a purple Yoylepawn to a4*, but it's unknown where the piece was moved from. This makes a few possibilities, any or all of which could be true or false: - Yoylepawns can move to red squares. - Yoylepawns can move to squares on the A file*. - (requires assumption) Yoylepawns can move forward.

the "Yoylebishop". nothing is known about this piece.

the "Yoyleknight". nothing is known about this piece, including whether or not its facing direction is relevant to gameplay.

the FreeSmart Supervan. the real name of this piece is known, although it has an improper name of "truck piece". it is unknown whether or not the facing direction of this piece is relevant to gameplay. at 11:23 of episode 4, Cake is seen moving a FreeSmart Supervan from h3* to e3*, implying one or multiple of the following: - the FreeSmart Supervan can move horizontally. - the FreeSmart Supervan can move left. - the FreeSmart Supervan can move from white squares to red squares.

the "Yoyle Needy". nothing is known about this piece.

the "Yoyle Tower". nothing is known about this piece.

according to Pillow, it is against the rules of Yoylechess to question the rules of Yoylechess. however, as I doubt the legality of the move Pillow made at 0:42 of episode 4, I will mark anything known only through Pillow stating it in red, for "potentially a lie".

according to Cake, after the move at 0:42 of episode 4, all of her pieces were on "the weakest squares". this implies one or multiple things from this list: - the optimal placement of pieces is closest to the opponent. - the optimal placement of pieces is in the center of the board. - Cake's pieces are on their home squares, and pieces are somehow weaker on their home squares. - throughout the game, pieces have traveled to those squares many times, making the squares themselves weak. - something else

Pillow's multi-piece move at 11:45 of episode 4 implies one of two things: - players can move multiple pieces a turn, including their opponent's - Pillow cheats at Yoylechess

there is some form of a points system in Yoylechess that is different from the points system in chess, however it is unknown how a player gains or loses points.

*as notated in chess.

and I found this post in r/chessvariants

oh, also. I made this. I mighht be going insane

and that's everything I know about Yoylechess so far! anyway, back to 𝕥𝕙𝕖

ep10 1:00 - nice moon hole. I See You

ep10 3:30 - every time I see that intro I just think about like. what if there was an object show where whenever someone got eliminated they were no longer in the intro. that would be a cool detail right? but. I have way too many projects..I can't make an object show! no!! hrgghhghggghghhgrhghrgrhhgh[a folder appears in my computer's Series folder called "object show placeholder name"]ghrggh- uh oh

ChessVariants: Klin Zha

Klin Zha

Original Release: 1989

Developer: John M. Ford, Len Loyd

Publisher: Self Published

Original Platform: Board Games

A Klingon chess-like game that was described in the Star Trek book The Final Reflection by John M. Ford (who helped develop the three Star Trek III Solitaire Games) and then developed into a full game by fans.

There are pieces with different movement rules, the most important of which is the “Goal��. This can’t move on its own, but can be moved by other pieces. The object of the game is to kill your opponent’s goal or to block them from being able to move. Each player sets up their pieces on one segment of the triangular board, with the third being empty space that can be moved into.

The game encourages to play like a Klingon, flaunting your goal for honour and glory. There’s nothing but shame if you play like a P’takh and hide your goal behind the blockade’s shields.

Wild Rose Chess

[fairy-eater-chess]

Hunting the King in Esoteric Fairy Eater.

A very rare and beautiful event for this game.

[fairy-eater-chess]

Moves of the pieces

The Sorcerer (King) - moves and captures exactly as the king in classical chess.

A Pawn - moves forward exactly one square. When there is an enemy piece one square diagonally ahead of a pawn, either left or right, then the pawn may capture that piece.

A Shield - an analogue of a Side Mover in Chu Shogi - moves and captures one square forward and backward, and also moves and captures orthogonally like a rook in chess.

A Ghost moves and captures in all directions like a Queen, but only by jumping over the square. Can jump over friendly and hostile pieces. A Ghost standing on a white square moves only along white squares, a black-squared Ghost - along black ones.

A Sower of Chaos is also known as an Archbishop in Capablanca chess, combines the moves of a knight and a bishop.

A Twilight Reaper is a Chancellor in Capablanca chess, combines the moves of a knight and a rook.

A Nightrider makes any number of knight moves in one direction, without deviating from the trajectory.

***

The game uses a 9x9 board.

Each player has 36 pieces at his / her disposal:

1 Sorcerer (King)

4 Ghosts

4 Shields

6 Sowers of Chaos (Archbishop - knight + bishop)

6 Twilight Reapers (Marshal or Chancellor - knight + rook)

6 Nightriders

9 Pawns

***

White is the first to start the game.

***

Pawn promotion zone.  The pawn transforms into any piece except The Sorcerer (King) and itself, reaching the sixth rank for White and the fourth rank for Black. Thus, it only needs to take two steps to transform.

***

Win and Draw.

If the player to move has their Sorcerer (King) under attack and is unable to make a move so that it is no longer under attack then the player loses via Checkmate.

A draw is awarded:

- by mutual agreement

- in the case of a three-fold repetition of the position

- in the absence of capture and movement of the Pawn in the last 50 moves (rule of 50 moves)

- if one of the players cannot make a move according to the rules in turn (stalemate).

The first game between human and human in Fairy Eater Chess has finally come to an end. It was a game by correspondence between me (Black) and my good friend Victor Baiguzhakov (White). Victor is a wonderful poet and inventor of Cyclic Checkers, which can also be played on the Dagaz server. I won quite easily, which is not surprising since it was the first time my opponent has faced such a monstrously difficult variation of chess. Nevertheless, I am grateful to Victor for his interest in the game.
