sico: new variations
[4802] by "RedWolf" (regncache4.sasknet.sk.ca)   on Thu 09 Aug 2001 11:58:40     reply ] 
I play on a number of Internet Chess Servers and they offer a number of non-standard variations. For example, Loser's chess where you win if you lose all your pieces or get mated. In this variation, if it is possible to make a capture move, you must make a capture move.

Or there's Power chess where you get 7 queens (with a King and 8 pawns).

There's fischer random where the pieces are randomly arranged on the 1st and 8th ranks.
sico: more knights in kirby games

How about having four knights instead of 2N+2B in variations with four kirbies? It would make the game more interesting by providing many more checkmate opportunities...
sico: black on bottom

How about flipping the board when it is black's move?
sico: move comments

How about allowing us to enter a comment at the same time when entering a move rather than having to do it separately? This is especially so since you have to enter a comment before making a move rather than after...

sico: castling bug

How about fixing the bug where it allows you to castle while in check?
sico: all knights
[4629] by "RedWolf" (ss07.co.us.ibm.com)   on Thu 02 Aug 2001 13:17:12     reply ] 
I suggest that the "All Knights" variation be dropped or at least the chances of one being started be a lot less. They are pretty boring after you have played a lot of them...

I was playing snoot, after some attempt, it said enough already, game over. Once it did that, i refreshed the screen and it showed a new board. I refreshed again, and it said something about an archive with a score of 0 and to tell you what I was doing. So that is what I did.

Thanks.

Hey, nice to see SICO finally back up after a long hiatus.

How about adding a button on the page after making a move that would take you to the next game (in which you have not played the last move)?

For those on dialup, the old way where you selected the from and to pieces using radio buttons on the one page might be preferable to the new way.
