Hi I want to make a chess based game, where there is only one piece (knight or nightrider) but only ONE. The deal is, that computer and human player each move the piece by turn.

My problem is, that I can't figure out how to make the begging of the game... Help anybody? :-)

Thanks yalik

You can define a Neutral player that never moves and let black and white move this piece by dropping a knight or nightrider on it and then immediately move this piece by way of an add-partial. Then ownership is returmed to the Neutral player by way of "flip flip" or "change-owner". A couple of hundred "off" pieces are defined so that drop moves won't cease. This will work fine.

Dear Maths ,thank You! But unfortunately it is difficult for me to write of definition of neutral piece. Can you send me only definitions of neutral piece and change-owner definitions? Because I didn't find something similar on the Zillions-of-games.

You define Neutral as one of the players:

(players White Black Neutral).

Then you assign a piece to the Neutral player. But as there is only White and Black in the turn-order statement, the Neutral player will never be able to move his piece.

Neutral piece must be dropped. But after white and black playing with this pieces by turn. This piece marked square where it been like Joust game. I saw this game by name "Ratsuk" in flash games sites. I tried different variants but opening set up for zillions may be impossible?
