Other games on FICGS ?
Hello to all.
Just wondering... after Chess, Chess 960, Go and Big Chess (soon available, as the graphical interface works better now) what other games you'd like to see here in the future ?
FICGS is firstly a correspondence chess server, without any doubt, but that's great to see chess players discovering Go game this way.
I have been told about Chinese Chess (Xiangqi), Shogi, Blokus.. Maybe not Draughts, as it is a solved game now.
Any ideas ?

Seen Shogi, sounds interesting
I've seen Shogi before, but i didn't play more than few moves. Shogi is actualy a family of variants, board sizes range from 4*5, to 36*36. I had a program once that handled a number of variants (I probably still have it somewhere). I read something about the Chinese Chess, it sounds interesting, the computers have not realy mastered it yet, and it seems somewhat slower than the regular Chess. I'm not realy sure how one can play corespondence Backgammon (I prefer Tavli).

Chinese Chess
Hello Thibault, Did you ever think about includind chinese chess on Ficgs ? Any volunteers ? And is it technically possible ?
Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-25 16:29:52)
Chinese Chess, Shogi ...
Hi Christophe... Of course it has been discussed here already. Well, it is technically possible, but it is not technically possible before a few months :)
The real question is : Do you want FICGS to be a multi-games site or mainly a chess place ? .. I've included Go (weiqi) because this game is really different and interesting, I'm not sure yet about the others and "A few is better than too many" IMO (what a quote) :)

Chess, Chinese Chess, Go
Thibault, have you ever tried Chinese Chess ? I've a book about the rules with some games, but I do not have a board. Maybe there is somewhere a Chinese Chess pgrogramm for free download. What do you like more Chess or Go ? Some years ago I tried to study Go, visited a Go Club. I tried to play a few games but did not realy realize what's going on. I was even not in the position to find out if my position is better or worse :-). Shogi - Japanese Chess, and Korean Chess, many chess variants and board games ....
Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-29 02:22:10)
Chess, Chinese Chess, Go
Hi Hannes... No, I didn't "really" tried chinese chess yet. I'm not sure if I prefer chess or Go anymore... Chess is more fun IMO, but Go is so interesting and mysterious.. just so different ?!

Chinese Chess
I played some games of chinese chess on itsyourturn, and it could be fun ! I was totally crushed bya asian players :-D But I found a player in Rotterdam who was on the same level (just beginners ;-D) and we had some interesting games. I think its a good idea to play chinese by correspondence because, to say the least, it's not easy to find players in "real life" !

Chinese Chess
Maybe this game will have a second life on the internet soon.. We need more players from China :)
What about kurnik.org ? .. or did you try www.clubxiangqi.com also ?

Chinese chess
Chinese chess is the most loved chess game in my country, Vietnam and in many other Asian countries. So, if Chinese chess is available, this site is better.
