Where can I play No Castle Chess Online?

Post by Chessqueen »

I checked Play Online Chessbase and they do NOT even offer such creative game.

But this is the highest player ever to play a No castle chess game, of course it has to be a Computer, we should have No castle chess testing of engines here:

PS: I will play a Knight odds and d pawn removed plus No Castle for me Versus Komodo 11 on my Samsung Galaxy 8+ Android and post it here tomorrow.
Do NOT worry and be happy, we all live a short life :roll:

I decided to play in on my personal Computer since the advantage was too much in my favor, I was winning but i needed 3 more minutes to kill Komodo 11, but i needed at least 3 more minutes to do it since I was taking my time

Chess servers in general don't seem to prioritze variants, particularly because variants just serve for a niche of the playerbase.

Besides, you can play a no-castle game as a normal one, when both players agree to refrain from castling.

Thanks you, But even if I am losing to Komodo 11 This is the most fun that I ever had, since of course we human can NOT compete with Computer engines without having odds. But anyway I am a patzer who is starting to enjoy playing against engines after 30 years when they first started. But I did Not resigned without giving Komodo 11 a good fight.

Some questions/suggestions. What is your Elo rating (FIDE if you have one, online if you don't)? Have you tried the same handicap with full castling rights to compare? I think it would make more sense for you to play at rook handicap rather than knight plus queen pawn, not so much because it is a larger handicap, but because it will feel much more like a normal game of chess. You could try rook handicap with normal castling and then with no castling for you, to see how much difference it makes. Of course you need to play a few games each way to draw conclusions.

In that case castling has to be considered as an illegal move :D

No way to change your mind.

I do not know my rating since i have been paying a GM online for the last 10 months to help me improve, all that I know is that I have been playing as a guess here https://play.chessbase.com/en/ and it goes from 1750 to 1975> I always play the same move until I master it which is 1.h3 the Clemenz Opening just to throw my opponent off their memorized opening repertoire. And for Black no matter how my opponent open the game I play 1....g6 followed by 2.......Bg7 and most of the time my third move is 3......c5. I will be there challenging anybody in the next 2 minutes simply go here to

If we assume that you are something like FIDE 1850 level, then I think you would be doing well if you can come out ahead of Komodo at rook handicap in 15' games, without a castling restriction, even on an ordinary pc. But it's vital to set Contempt to something like 200, otherwise it will just let you trade pieces and reach a rook up endgame.
