Super hard to join trackers, are any of them actually good? Note that PTP is not actually super-hard to join, i myself was offered a user invite to it in the past (which i turned down of course) and i should be able to join it officially at some point if i want to (i basically never watch movies...

Why a 250-move rule without exceptions is fine for human games Of course you should still be able to claim draw if you only have a king left and your opponent lacks material to checkmate you but that will very rarely come into play with real matches. That however is not actually an exception to...

One particularly well-tested variant is trice chess aka gothic chess. https://gothicchess.info/ This game should be played with a 100-move rule, not 50-move rule.

Forcing early draw instead of doing 250 moves Turns out we don't actually need to have a special rule for when checkmate is no longer feasible, you can force your opponent to repeat moves way before that if they only have the king left. [9x10endgame57:chess] doubleStepRank = 3 maxRank = 10...

100 million nodes / move test nmoverule = 250 (regardless of material) 1 million nodes/move if niether player has any more material than a single knight or a single bishop or two bishops confined to the same color (does not have to be set to that right away). f3f5 d8d6 c3c4 i8i6 i3i5 e8e6 f5e6...

The closest to a draw i have gotten is me playing this endgame where i have the ability to force a win. Here it's black to move and thanks to the pawn i have left winning shouldn't be too hard even against stockfish. It would have been a lot harder if it wasn't for that pawn (if you can force...

Lessons from human vs human matches The game was intended to be less prone to draws than standard chess and this ended up working out a lot better than expected. Not a single draw in over 40 games i have played so far. You might think that it's over if you are say a queen down in material but...

I submitted it to chess.com Their interface for setting up a custom variant is a bit confusing but here are my settings. Promotion rank: 11th Pawns promote to: EHMQ Stalemated player wins R-0,1,0,1-0,0,0,0-0,0,0,0-0,0,0,0-0-{'pawnBaseRank':5,'wb':true,'dim':'10x10','noCorners':true}-...

I think you missed my point. Nazi Germany managed to keep their soldiers very motivated despite them losing badly. Their propaganda is still in affect today with people believing that their war machine was more effective than it really were. We have not seen anywhere close to the potential...

Usually when someone dies in a war what they have left (which often isn't even that much) will go to their blood relatives. It's probably not profitable for the state economically speaking. The main potential benefits with the cannon fodder strategy is. 0. Gaining territory (works for...

Nazi germany was an actual dystopian government and they kept their population motivated to fight even though they were clearly losing the war (after 1943) and they also committed the holocaust (unclear to what extent typical citizens knew about that). Both Ukraine and Russia does poorly in...

We are not seeing instability like that in authoritarian states with decently competent governance. It does work pretty well in singapore and vietnam so we have already seen some of that potential. Democratic countries are limited by their own population in terms of quality of governance...
