Fair-chess
DESCRIPTION:
A new -(and much better) sort of Chess game , *Fair-Chess* !
Being interested in chess for two decades now, i designed a chess variant in which the intrinsic White advantage is compensated by removing the f2 and c7 pawns (calibrated by engine analysis). Also, in such a way detailed knowledge of opening theory is not important anymore.
In addition, I devised a(n) -optional- handicap system which will make playing more fun for both sides, especially the weaker. This would make it a more ''fair'' game between players of very different playing ability, It will result in longer games, more practice in middle game and endgames, and will be a better training method. It might revolutionize the chess world; see the readme.txt. To test the game i made a prototype with the zillions-of-games method; see the screenshots.
Features
- New initial board layout, with f2 and c7 pawns removed
- Optionally a handicap system, with other- different- board setups, depending on difference in playing strength
