Update of bug #60112 (project xboard): Status: None => Wont Fix Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: xboard is only a chess UI, not a chess engine that actually plays the game. If you or someone writes an engine (or internet chess server) that understand such a chess variant, it should be possible to play the variant with xboard, though unchecking "test legality" will probably be required. If no one is writing such an engine or server, though, there would be no point in adding support for it in the xboard UI. One exception: the xboard protocol and UI currently don't provide a way to skip a turn. It would be possible to add "skip a turn" support, but I haven't heard of anyone who wants to write an engine that supports a chess variant or chess-like game that allows skipping a turn. If you meant to say you are writing one and need UI support, ask again. Chess itself would be quite different if one could skip a turn, as it would eliminate zugzwang situations. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60112> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
