Welcome to Game Courier, where you can play Chess256 (Randomized pawns) and many other Chess variants through online correspondence. If this is your first time here, you will need to register before you can play against other people online.

To play Chess256 (Randomized pawns), you should find and accept an invitation to play, or you should someone to play. If you don't know anyone who wants to play, you can make an open invitation and wait for it be accepted.

You may also review past games of Chess256 (Randomized pawns).

Besides letting you play games by correspondence, Game Courier will let you:
pieces by yourself
a fairy chess problem (in development), or
and annotate a game

If you would like to use different graphics, or you would like to provide multiple versions of the same preset, you can
your own version of this preset

If you programmed this preset, you can it. And even if you didn't, you can use a clone of this preset as the basis for another one, whether for this game or a similar one. Game Courier is the correspondence play system that lets you design and program nearly any strategy board game you would like to play with it. It is limited mainly by your imagination and programming skill. See the Developer's Guide for details.

If you are running a tournament, you will need to a new tournament round and players to a game in a tournament round.

Available Pieces

This table shows you what pieces belong to the piece set you are using.

These pieces come from a set containing more pieces, but this preset has had the set of pieces reduced to those used in the game.

2011-09-18	Colin Adams	Below Average	I have been playing kokosz in real time. We are finding a number of problems, mostly with the invite protocol. The first game we played, I issued the invite, he accepted, chose White, but found himself making the first move (In Tenjiku, Black always plays first). Apart from this, the game went without incident. I had the board presented to me as White, and made moves as White. In the second game, kokosz issued the invite, and I chose Black. I made my move. The page said move was sent as black, but kokosz never received an invitation to move. We tried again. This time I sent the invite. Kokosz chose White, but found himself forced to play the first move (clearly an error). So I 'corrected' this situation by effectively undoing his move (using @- etc.) and making the first move as Black. However, I was presented with the board from White's point of view throughout the game, and every time I made a move, it said, move was sent by white. The game finished with kokosz running out of time (the reason appears in the secnd part of this message). Accordingly, the result was given as kokosz has won (?!?). Clearly, not only was it getting the colours wrong, it was showing our times wrongly, or getting the players wrong. Anyway, we can't use it effectively like that. I am guessing that if one of us had resigned, we would have been awarded the game. The reason for running out of time, was we wanted to end play for the day. There seems to be no option to suspend a real-time session. Can you add an option to do this? (Preferably some kind of sealed move protocol)	Edit View [*]
2011-08-07	Scott McGreal	None	This is supposed to be a miniature chess preset, but now appears to be a preset for standard.	View [*]
2011-04-17	(zzo38) A. Black	None	Kibbitz is broken, it will not display, adding '&submit=Accept' to the URL fixes it temporarily, but it should be fixed so that it does not require that.	Edit View [*]
