I'm surprised Agora hasn't done chess yet, so I submit the following proposal: { Title: Agorachess Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: 4st Coauthor: nix, snail, G., Murphy
Enact "Agorachess Definition" with Power=1.0 and the text: { The rules of chess are taken to be the ones from the following link: https://chess.org/rules The rules of agorachess are the rules of chess, except our rules takes precedence over any conflict. The rules of agorachess remove these phrases from the rules of chess: - Most drawn games are draws by agreement based upon the rules. - A position is said to be a draw (or a drawn position) if either player can, through correct play, eventually force the game into a position where the game must end in a draw, regardless of the moves made by the other player. - 2. Timed Games - Games can be played with a time-limit by setting a move time when creating a new game. - In timed games each player has a certain amount of time available for deciding which moves to make, and the time remaining for each player decreases only when it is their turn to move. - — either player may resign if the situation looks hopeless - draw by agreement, A move follows algebraic chess notation, which is described by appendix C of the following link: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012023 A record of moves is a list of moves that alternate between white making the move, and black making the move, and inserted before each pair of moves is an incrementing integer, followed by a period starting at "1." This definition shall allow for the example game given in appendix C to be a valid record of moves. } Enact "Agorachess Play" with power=1.0 and the text: { If there is not currently an agorachess game hasn't ended, any player can, by announcement, present an empty record of moves to start an agorachess game, and may optionally include a representation of the current agorachess chessboard. If a player has not done so in the past 6 days, e can, by announcement, make one agorachess move, by announcement of an updated record of moves with one additional, valid move, and e may optionally include a representation of the current agorachess chessboard. When a player makes a valid move that checkmates either side, any player can increase that player's score by 5 and end the agorachess game by announcement. An agorachess game can end with agoran consent. } } -- 4st
