  My Games Blog         


Author: qqquet
Date: Sep 22, 2008 16:10

I have started a blog about my games.
http://gamesconceived.blogspot.com/
The games are listed down the right side of each blog post. There
are, as of now, 64 or so games posted.

I had posted these games to sci.math and rec.puzzles, but never
directly to rec.games.abstract before.
I hope I can make up for lost time by sharing with you the blog (which
contains most of the games I posted elsewhere).

Thanks,
Leroy Quet

Given the rules, the circle can be replaced by any simple curve
of strictly positive curvature. That is, the curve would be the
boundary of a convex shape and would include no straight segment.
For the center we may use any point of the interior.

  How does Dipole Chess compare to normal chess depthwise?         


Author: Rich Hutnik
Date: Aug 16, 2008 21:38

These are the rules to Dipole Chess:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSdipolechess

Take regular chess, and prevent people from making non-capture moves
laterally or backwards (Castling is permitted also though). Otherwise
it is the same. Not only can you lose if your king is captured
(rather than checkmated), if you can't make a legal move, you also
lose.

My experience with the game is that it is easy to mess up in a big
way, with both sides reasonably close. But the game can never end in
a draw, and will always run a finite number of turns. Despite this,
and it being more restrictive as far as moves, the game feels pretty
deep.

I wanted to see if anyone else here had thoughts on this, if they were
to argue how much more shallow it is compared to normal chess.

  DotNomic         


Author: Jeff Sheets
Date: Jul 27, 2008 17:52

I've just started DotNomic. It is a Nomic (see www.nomic.net or the
Wikipedia article for Nomic if you're not familiar) run entirely on
wikidot.com. I've tried to make the game "fault tolerant", in that
people can join without requiring myself, or a future Speaker to
register them. The rules are a slightly modified Agora initial set,
and the changes are fundamentally there to downplay the Speaker's
role, while also giving the Speaker a vote and the ability to make
proposals.

Come on out to dotnomic.wikidot.com, and join the game!
