chess varient maker


Question Posted Saturday October 18 2008, 2:28 pm

im trying to make a chess variant. what i need is to be able to make a board that isnt 8x8, and to place pieces on it, and have more than just the standard chess pieces. i dont really feel like shelling out $40 for the zillions of games program, and ive tried game courier, which wont let me make a board of the size i want (8x10) beyond that, google has only turned up diagram makers for emailing positions of a standard chess game to friends.

You didn't read the Game Courier documentation. An 8x10 board can be easily made.

For 10 squares on the bottom, set "columns" to 10 and use this in the "code" section:
pppppppppp/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/PPPPPPPPPP

For 10 squares on the side, set "columns" to 8 and use this in the "code" section:
pppppppp/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/PPPPPPPP

The documentation explains how to change the piece types:
