Fairy Piece Board Editor?

Are there any sites that have board editors that involve fairy pieces?  I noticed that all the board editors I've seen only allow me to put regular chess pieces on the board, and not fairy pieces.  I was also wondering about board editors that involve fairy pawns, such as pawns that only move and capture diagonally forward.

I canlink to how we do this here. For both you'll need a Windows laptop.

I only have a macbook, not a windows laptop.  Any alternatives?

Let me know if you find them. Ask @Martin0 if his tool works on macbook.

My tool only works for windows.

Thank you Martin.

There is a simple board editor using the Alfaerie piece set in one of the comments to https://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/alfaerie/index.html . After you press the 'draw' button there it will show the designed diagram as a single PNG image on the page. This can then be copied by normal means. (E.g. for FireFox I right-click it and select 'Copy Image' from the context menu to get it on the clipboard.) After that you can paste it into your favorite drawing program on whatever OS you are using, and save it as a file in the format you need.

@HGMuller Is it possible to set up the position to allow things to promote?

Thank you, mr.Muller. It is a good editor.

It is a bulldog chess with Bird and Elephant.

But where are Immobilizer, Coordinator, how make a diagram with it?

I don't understand what you are asking. A Board Editor is a program for making static images; promoting is an action. I you want to make a diagram containing promoted pieces, you just put the promoted pieces in there.

The editor itself is implemented using another web-script, the interactive diagram. This is an on-line user interface for chess (variants), where you can move pieces around over a board or drop them on it from a table. It can be made aware of how the pieces move, (to highlight the possible destination squares) and indeed on how (and where) they promote. The description page at the link contains a 'design wizard' for creating such diagrams with the desired rules, so you can include them in your own HTML pages. (You cannot paste them in forums, though; these in general do not allow posting of such active elements.) For the purpose of editing a board it did not seem useful to have pieces promote, so I conigured the diagram used as input to not have a promotion zone.

@ZhenyaChaynikov: The Board Editor makes use of an on-line graphics engine that renders SVG pieces (at any desired size) as a PGN image of a board of custom dimensions. (Can be 1x1 for individual pieces on transparent background.) The original Alfaerie piece set consisted of 50x50 GIF images. So I had to redraw them as SVG to use them for this purpose. But I did not redraw every Alaerie piece that was ever designed. In particular the Ultima pieces are not available as SVG (yet).

And what about making Guard, Witch, Time Thief and more Buldog Chess pieces?

These were not in the original Alfaerie set, so there are not even designs for those, let alone in SVG format. If you can post the required SVG images (nominal size 2048x2048, filling color #f9f9f9ff RGBA) here, I can upload them to the server where the graphics engine runs.

Everything above is the link, even though only the first part is highlighted

I adjusted the movement of some of the pieces for this position.  The king moves like a royal Ferz.  The Kangaroo moves like a Camelrider.  The camel Bird is a Bishop+Dabbabarider+Camelrider making it the most powerful piece.  The Lion is a Bishop+Dabbabarider.  The Tiger is a Camel+Bishop.  The Unicorn is a Dabbabarider+Camel.  The squirrel has the movement gCC meaning it moves like an extended camel, but only to squares that are immediately beyond a piece, in the path of a Camelrider, meaning it is a type of hopper.  The pegasus has the movement gB, and is a diagonal hopper, that moves one square beyond a piece diagonally.  The Ram has the movement CgDD, meaning it combines the movement of the Camel and the Dabbaba Hopper, moving either as a camel, or to the square immediately beyond a piece in the path of a Dabbabarider.  The pawns move one square diagonally forward, but capture two squares diagonally forward, and so have the movement fmFfcA.  Everything else moves the same as it's default movement.

Ugh, I cannot directly paste that URL in a posting here, as the forum sotware converts the link to https. The image does appear in the submission editor, but once the message is posted, it does not appear in the posting.

Your design, with only color-bound pieces on the dark shade, is equivalent to a diamond-shaped board where all squares are used, the King moves as a Wazir, the Camel as a Knight etc.

I found that it's also possible to get a board with 200 by 200 squares, which means that if each player had a piece on 1/4 of the board each player would have 10,000 pieces, making each army the size of a city.

The largest game I am aware of is Taikyoku Shogi, with a 36x36 board, with 402 pieces each.

That's what can be expected from people too long in Chinese lockdowns I suppose
