Musketeer Chess Pieces NOW available at House of Staunton

[musketeerchess]

Hi all
The pieces of my chess variant are now available on House of Staunton

http://www.houseofstaunton.com/chess-pi ... rc=feature

There are still 4 pieces under development (Fortress, Spider, Dragon and Unicorn)

These new pieces could also be used for a variety of other chess variants (Gothic, Seirawan etc.)

They also could customize your own chess set if you want to get a unique chess set.

I especially like the Leopard. I might buy it to use as Lion in Chu Shogi!

Perhaps this is of interest to you:

I just developed a JavaScript-powered 'interactive Chess diagram' for inclusion in web pages. Basically it acts as a Chess GUI, where you can move pieces over the board, while it will highlight the possible moves of the piece you 'pick up'. It can be trivially configured for almost any Chess variant. You are welcome to use it on your Musketeer-Chess website.

For an minimal example, see here, and a real-life application here. In particular, view the 'page source' of the minimal example, to see how little effort it is to put such a diagram on an HTML page.

In the future I might even include an AI in it that would play you in the defined variant.

Hi
The Leopard is in fact awesome.

Thanks for the link for the web app. I'll try it.

I'm still looking for a programmer to create an engine playing Musketeer Chess. At first i just like the engine implementing Leopard and Cannon pieces.

Please PM me if someone is interested
