May I ask discreetly whether anything is still missing in terms of 'Morphomania' and 'Crossroads'?
When I see an inverted King, that's the piece I think of.
Well, I was not familiar with Anti-King Chess, as most people here probably are. But of course I don't want to confuse some people here, even though they will be very rare. So I've changed that and now use the 'Duke'. That should solve the problem, shouldn't it?
Is this perhaps a matter of opinion?
That is precisely why!
Either way, everyone knows. I would like the character to be called "Kinginv" and not "Man". Is that a problem? Calling an inverse king symbol 'Man' goes against the grain.
... it's an icon name ...
In the selection table of the PTA, 'Kinginv' appears under the heading 'name'.
But Kinginv is not a word, ..
Okay, here I took my orientation from the PTA, where I found the term 'Kinginv'. If it wasn't in use, then I wonder how it gets into the PTA. I can't imagine that H.G. would include a name that is not in common use. That confuses me a bit.

Actually, yes. I wanted to keep the term king, because it's a piece that can move like a king, but without the status. 'Man' or something else didn't seem appropriate to me.
Regarding 'Crossroads' and 'Morphomania', I think I've done some improvements; is there anything left to do?

Thank you for your attention. I got the diagonals mixed up here. I have corrected it.
So if I understand correctly, the diagonals thing is just the procedure for how you've generated what during gameplay is a static morphing table? Rather than having any dynamic effect during gameplay
Yes, of course, the players must be able to follow a morphing rule - at least in this game. A dynamic rule is perhaps the next step.

Home page of The Chess Variant Pages. Homepage of The Chess Variant Pages.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I stumbled across 'GC Preset for Reche's Super Faceoff Masquerade' again, and I'm wondering again how to recognize in the course of the game how an a-Rook takes as Knight, h-Rook as Bishop; b-Knight takes as Bishop, g-Knight as Rook; c-Bishop as Rook, f-Bishop as Knight (according to the description). The two rooks, bishops and knights do not differ and can no longer be distinguished in the course of the game. How is a strategic game supposed to come about then?

Unfortunately I don't see the menu, see here:
Thank you in the meantime.
@ editors: I would like to set my suggestion 'Toggle Chess' to 'Private'. Unfortunately the selection menu 'Edit this Page', 'Edit Metadata for this Page' etc. is missing. Is it possible to restore the selection menu?

I think that the table diagrams I use show the morphing possibilities quite well. But I readily admit that there can be different forms of presentation. I have opted for these and would welcome it if it could stay that way.
