  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

  • FESA – Shogi Official Playing Rules
    FESA Laws of Shogi FESA Page Federation of European Shogi Associations 1 (12) FESA – Shogi official playing rules The FESA Laws of Shogi cover over-the-board play. This version of the Laws of Shogi was adopted by voting by FESA representatives at August 04, 2017. In these Laws the words `he´, `him’ and `his’ should be taken to mean `she’, `her’ and ‘hers’ as appropriate. PREFACE The FESA Laws of Shogi cannot cover all possible situations that may arise during a game, nor can they regulate all administrative questions. Where cases are not precisely covered by an Article of the Laws, the arbiter should base his decision on analogous situations which are discussed in the Laws, taking into account all considerations of fairness, logic and any special circumstances that may apply. The Laws assume that arbiters have the necessary competence, sound judgement and objectivity. FESA appeals to all shogi players and member federations to accept this view. A member federation is free to introduce more detailed rules for their own events provided these rules: a) do not conflict in any way with the official FESA Laws of Shogi, b) are limited to the territory of the federation in question, and c) are not used for any FESA championship or FESA rating tournament. BASIC RULES OF PLAY Article 1: The nature and objectives of the game of shogi 1.1 The game of shogi is played between two opponents who take turns to make one move each on a rectangular board called a `shogiboard´. The player who starts the game is said to be `sente` or black.

  • Chapter 25, Boards with Three and More Dimensions
    Chapter 25 Boards with three and more dimensions [We now move on to true three-dimensional boards. The earliest definite reference to three- dimensional chess appears to be to the oft-quoted Kieseritzky board, and the earliest game of which details survive is Maack’s ‘Raumschach’ of 1907. The multiple-board games of Part 1, such as Alice Chess, may also be classi,ed as 3-D games, though we shall normally restrict the term to games where the boards are stacked one above the other rather than being placed side by side. The most popular 3-D board amongst inventors, and at the same time the most mentally indigestible for the players, consists of eight normal boards mounted in this way. Less demanding on spatial vision, and hence more practical, are games confined to two or three 8x8 boards and games with boards smaller than 8x8. A few multi-dimensional games beckon the intellectually courageous. The rook generalizes immediately to three dimensions. The bishop does not, and three- dimensional games employ two different pieces: a ‘bishop’ which moves in a plane with the normal bishop move, and a new piece, often called a ‘unicorn’, which advances through all three dimensions at once. (Imagine the piece in the middle of a cube. If it is a rook, it moves to the middle of a face of the cube; if a bishop, to the middle of an edge; if a unicorn, to one of the corners.) The queen is sometimes treated as R+B, more usually as R+B+U. When away from the edge, a rook has 6 directions of movement, a bishop 12, a unicorn 8, and a queen 18 or 26.

  • 1 Jess Rudolph Shogi
    Jess Rudolph Shogi – the Chess of Japan Its History and Variants When chess was first invented in India by the end of the sixth century of the current era, probably no one knew just how popular or wide spread the game would become. Only a short time into the second millennium – if not earlier – chess was being played as far as the most distant lands of the known world – the Atlantic coast of Europe and Japan. All though virtually no contact existed for centuries to come between these lands, people from both cultures were playing a game that was very similar; in Europe it was to become the chess most westerners know today and in Japan it was shogi – the Generals Game. Though shogi has many things in common with many other chess variants, those elements are not always clear because of the many differences it also has. Sadly, how the changes came about is not well known since much of the early history of shogi has been lost. In some ways the game is more similar to the Indian chaturanga than its neighboring cousin in China – xiangqi. In other ways, it’s closer to xiangqi than to any other game. In even other ways it has similarities to the Thai chess of makruk. Most likely it has elements from all these lands. It is generally believed that chess came to Japan from China through the trade routs in Korea in more than one wave, the earliest being by the end of tenth century, possibly as early as the eighth.

  • Rick Knowlton Author of the Website, Ancientchess.Com
    Presentation to the Chess Collectors International Meeting, Princeton, NJ, May 2009 Rick Knowlton Author of the website, AncientChess.com The chess we play today is over 500 years old. Our modern rules were born in Italy or Spain, toward the end of the 15th century. This new “chess of the rabid queen” quickly replaced older versions throughout Europe. Since that time, our chess has developed a tradition of literature and analysis far beyond that of any other board game. But this modern European chess was never the only chess. Looking a few centuries back into our history, and expanding our view across neighbor- ing continents, we can see chess as a cross-cultural phenomenon with a wide range of traditions. In effect, these other variants of chess may be- come a window into the distant reaches of time and culture. Let’s take a brief look at some of the world‘s strongest chess traditions. Ancient Chess Chess was already being played in Persia when Muslim armies con- quered that area in the 7th century. It quickly spread through the Muslim world, and on into southern Europe. This chess, known in Arabic as shatranj, differed from the modern game in that its queen (then a king’s advisor) only moved one space diagonally, and the bishop (then an elephant) moved only two spaces diagonally. The con- ventional pieces were simplified forms representing the members of the ancient army (chariot, horse, elephant, etc.) Chinese Chess Chinese chess, xiangqi (“shyahng-chee”), is probably played by more people than any other board game.

  • Chapter 15, New Pieces
    Chapter 15 New pieces (2) : Pieces with limited range [This chapter covers pieces whose range of movement is limited, in the same way that the moves of the king and knight are limited in orthochess.] 15.1 Pieces which can move only one square [The only such piece in orthochess is the king, but the ‘wazir’ (one square orthogonally in any direction), ‘fers’ or ‘firzan’ (one square diagonally in any direction), ‘gold general’ (as wazir and also one square diagonally forward), and ‘silver general’ (as fers and also one square orthogonally forward), have been widely used and will be found in many of the games in the chapters devoted to historical and regional versions of chess. Some other flavours will be found below. In general, games which involve both a one-square mover and ‘something more powerful’ will be found in the section devoted to ‘something more powerful’, but the two later developments of ‘Le Jeu de la Guerre’ are included in this first section for convenience. One-square movers are slow and may seem to be weak, but even the lowly fers can be a potent attacking weapon. ‘Knight for two pawns’ is rarely a good swap, but ‘fers for two pawns’ is a different matter, and a sound tactic, when unobservant defence permits it, is to use the piece with a fers move to smash a hole in the enemy pawn structure so that other men can pour through. In xiangqi (Chinese chess) this piece is confined to a defensive role by the rules of the game, but to restrict it to such a role in other forms of chess may well be a losing strategy.] Le Jeu de la Guerre [M.M.] (‘M.M.’, ranks 1/11, CaHDCuGCaGCuDHCa on ranks perhaps J.
