Ask HN: Analog Chess Tournament?

  • I’ll match your $1k! DM me on Twitter if this takes off. Cheers for the ambition.

    As for hosting the tournament, try to get GothamChess involved. It’s wacky enough that he might just be interested.

    (Can’t wait to hear him shout “and they sacrifice… THE ROoOOok!”)

  • Holy shit, that would be amazing! I released this mainly because I really want to know what the best strategies are and how different it is from normal chess.

  • If you would want to run a tournament for this you'll probably need a better client, potentially with built-in online play. I could be tempted to work on something web based, but it would take a while to finish.

  • I'm not have a buck(live in South America) not experience hosting chess tournaments, I host in person and online bordgame for 20-100 people, if you need help contact me, ig lautaro_philip

  • Is it an interesting question? Would alpha zero be able to solve it quicker? To what resolution would the game be played?

  • Down to participate in the contest.

  • I will join if someone organizes it!

  • Count me in!

  • Analog chess? It's inherently digital. 8 integers either way, outcomes are binary.
