I am working on a 3 player version of chess on a hex board.
The King is captured, not checkmated.
Win condition should be:
Player1 wins if both Player2 & Player3 Kings are captured ( Player1 does not have to be the one that captured the Kings)
After a Player's king is captured his other pieces become immobile.
I have studied the LangRef and looked at lots of .ZRFs but do not see how to do this.
I think I would need to do the following:
Define each player's King as a unique piece i.e. King1,King2,King3
Then I could set & check an attribute of the Kings.
But I would need to set this when the King is captured and I don't see how to do that.
I could also use this attribute to force a player to pass, but I don't see how to do that either.
Any help would be appreciated :-)
I am an old hand at programming but quite new to ZoG.
I am having a bit of trouble getting the hang of the ZoG syntax. So much is implied! |

The simplest solution would be:
(win-condition (total-piece-count 1 King))
with each players King defined the same; no need for King1, King2 etc. Then when the winning player takes the second-last player's king, the game is over and the last-moving player wins. |

OK. I got the win condition & passing of moves to work. Would anyone be interested in giving it a quick test? |
