NCP Stone Age

NCP – Stone Age

This variant has name 'Stone Age' because Stone age is first challenge (advancement) in Minecraft (if you play Minecraft you don't have to read this). In this advencment you have to mine block of stone. In the middle of the chess board, there are stone with breaking animation.

In this game you have 4 general tactics:

1.      Attacking centre and promoting pawn to general

2.      Attacking right side with pawns and bishop

3.      Defending left side with pawns

4.      Defending king

When you doing 1. tactic, after promotion you can move general back to defence and right side attack or you can move it to direct attack on one of players. Right side is side for attack (tactic 2.) because on this side bishop can help pawns to attack player (that's reason why left side is for defence).

I think this variant can maybe be without dead walls. I am waiting for your opinion.

@makadika has helped me with creating this variant. Please accept.

If you like it, I will make more variants with name of Minecraft advancement. (don't copy my idea)

Thank you for your attention!

I thought it would be stone generals...

Ok, that is not so important but I will change it if I will have to.

Okay, thanks. In the future though, please put all of your content into a single posting; it makes it less confusing for anyone reading. 

Notifications for past games are coming now.

1. why attack centre when there no koth?

2. attacking is very unlikely

1. generals

2. no

Attacking is interesting and for strategy players

1. oh ok

2. how? with pawns? unlike WFT there a very little gap to invade and you have to promote to general first which will be the main strat but once everyone rushes to the middle from move 1 then they will find themselves paralyzed as all the other pawns control the promotion square so nobody can move. Also, bishops are basically useless.

Bishop have to behind pawns and make 'gun' which can attack side

looks good

Hi there!
The main issue we found here was that Red has a huge advantage being the first one to promote, and he can't be defeated without massive cooperation from BYG.  Additionally, we found that there were very few different moves available to the player (ie, move pawn, king, or bishop)- which made the position a little dull. For these reasons, declined, but we fully encourage you to post revisions of your position! Look forward to seeing those . 

Ok, I will improve this variant and I am working on next 'Minecraft advancement'.
