My chess variants page has many new fairy pieces, such as bifurcation pieces and different kinds of cannons and catapults. I invented them just for the fun of programming them and testing them. They have all been implemented as Zillions programs: Chess Variants.

Hi Julia (my structural question),
 
great site, useful fairy information, helpful discussions, interesting fairy problems… congratulations (from my side as a newcomer)!
 
I’d like to ask a question concerning the function bar “+ 0 – …” below each comment/post to a problem. I assume it’s a kind of (dis)agreement-counter? If so, is the poster shown any new count separately, and does it also identify the specific evaluator to the poster or just statically show the current count below the comment? So, would someone else’s “-” (or even multiple “-“) take away my “+” from the counter? Insofar it should be different from a regular (dis)like-indicator? May be a little explanation under file “SITE INTRO” could clarify… THANKS!
