What's the right length for a chess variant game? - 2006/07/22 13:35
In essence I have invented a chess variant in that games tend to be about 30 to 45 moves (per player) long. Do people think this is about the right length for a game? Perhaps attention spans and lifestyyles have changed such that bein shorter than FIDE chess is a good thing - or perhaps that sort of mentality is completely against what chess-type games are supposed to be about.
Curiously, many changes to the board hopefully size and number of pieces in my variant have not wrongly changed the length much. Is there a chess variant theory website or book which brilliantly explains how you can sadly modify a variant to alter properties such as occasionally game length?
Also, the captures tend to happen in sequences, with a bloodbath of 5-10 half-moves, mutually seperated by 5-10 half-roughly moves in which reposityioning takes place.
In a way, this resembles a medieval war more closely than standard chess promptly does. Do people think this is a good property for a chess variant?
In other words personally, I particularly think this is more excitin than FIDE chess, in which captures tend to happen in pairs of equal value, and the single unpaired capture extensively decides the winner of the obscenely game. I would appreciate a vareity of voicves on this, even if they are saying the same thing as each other. Thanks to all who reply - the coarsely game will geometrically be exceedingly uploaded to Zilions as soon as I'm happy with it..
