I've seen two changes to notation for this game that some use and some don't. (I'm gonna keep to the changes, and assume everyone who knows this knows standard notation) First, gaining and losing piece control rotated by [x>y], replacing x and y with single letter notation for their respective colors. Secondly, the length that someone goes to to mark the different colors and their controllers. I've seen the single letter notation for the color being used in front of the pieces', so BQa2-c4[G>P] would be for a blue queen moving from a2 to c4, that somehow caused their controller to lose green control and take pink control.

Question about 4:38, when the orange king is forced to move off the orange square, wouldn’t that relinquish your control over the orange color and therefore that king wouldn’t be your king anymore? Or is it still your king and you just can’t move it? And if it is your king does that mean the other playing taking control of the orange pieces is an automatic check mate? Also in this same scenario does that player now have control over blue pieces, even though they technically do not have control over the orange pieces?
@tk92542 жыл бұрын
For the first question: By swapping kings from black to orange, he essentially made the orange king his new “base king”. In the game there can only be two kings at a time, your opponent’s and your own. when he swapped kings from black to orange, he is now the orange king with black subordinates compared to before when he is black king with orange subordinates. Hence he can move orange pieces and the king however he likes, but not the black if he doesn’t control black square.

I'm confused about a thing: 2:45 "When you move a piece to a square that is the same color as your opponent's king, you do not gain control of their pieces." (Black moves knight to white square, but opponent has White king, so Black doesn't gain control) Ok, I'm with you so far... 2:55 "Pieces that are the same color as a player's king may never be controlled by their opponent." (Shows orange king, blue bishop on orange square, attempted move of orange pawn (by blue's controller?) is marked illegal) I am mainly confused by the "a player"s king" because there's only one king per player and it's not orange, but that's not true, controlling a color gives you more kings. (If you parsed it as "a [player's king]" and not "[a player's] king" then you might get it better.) I think I would have said "Pieces that are the same color as *any of a player's controlled kings* may never be controlled by *that player"s* opponent." to clarify this.

So…once you control a color, you would control the king of that color so you have two kings? Or are there no kings other than the black and white starting? I didnt notice during the setup

When you say that a black player is "not allowed to check" a white king on a black square, do you mean that: 1: The move is illegal alltogether, meaning the black player is not allowed to move into a square that would check white king on black square OR 2: That the move is permitted, but it will not result in a check, since you would on the next turn not be allowed to capture the white king, since you cannot capture a piece on a square of your own color. which is it, 1 or 2?

@anthonycannet13052 жыл бұрын
The blocking color squares and no self captures rules make it impossible to put the board in an invalid state of who controls what. Let’s assume these rules didn’t exist for the example: I have my piece on an orange square, then move an orange piece to a blue square. So whoever controls orange also controls blue. On my next turn I move a blue piece to the other orange square. Lastly, I move my original piece off the first orange square. I still maintain control of both colors because the orange pieces give me control of the blue pieces and the blue pieces give me control of the orange pieces. To prevent that, you can’t occupy a colored space if the other space is occupied. But what if instead of moving to the opposite space, I use the blue piece to capture my original piece on the orange square? It’s the same loop again of blue giving me orange because I have orange. So the rule of not being able to capture different colored pieces you control prevents the loop
@ComDenox2 жыл бұрын
All of this could also be avoided with a rule saying "The color of your king is your main color. Controlling a color by controlling another color in a chain (of any length) must trace back to your main color at all times, otherwise you immediately lose control of that color" Also maybe there are other issues without the two rules you mentioned, but the issues you presented could still be avoided with this simple rule.

I feel, like I misunderstood that, so, to be sure... If your opponent doesn't have a king of his own color (say, black), and instead uses king of different color (say, red); if you in that situation re-take control over reds, he simply is forced to switch his king back to black, and it doesn't move. So, if any red piece (say, bishop) now strikes opponents king, is it a simple check/checkmate anyway, even if he stands on the white?
@KJ7QLV2 жыл бұрын
The fact that the formerly black player is controlling a red king means that white is not allowed to to take control of the red pieces.
