Auto Crazy Chess Tournament
Tuesday, 1st February 2022 ◆ Confirm friend's final defeat (9)A while ago I spoke about Crazy Chess, a chess variant where you can spend your points budget on whichever pieces you like. Eventually, I plan to make a game where you can create boards and play against friends or strangers. In the meantime, I wanted to try dipping my toe into the world of "auto-chess".
Auto-chess and its ilk are games where you create and improve armies which automatically battle against those of other players. However, I find the name a bit of a misnomer, as the pieces are not real chess pieces and the game is not chess. In an attempt to see if a real auto-chess would be fun, I decided to run a tournament with some friends where each player designs a board, whilst an AI plays the matches.
