Thanks a lot for the background Hagbard.

I'm really sorry to annoy you all with my eyes problem.

Hagbard, I'm really sorry but #00cf71 background is too clear for me. Could you please revert to original #228b22 please?

Will all these choices, we'll really need a preference setting to choose.

I will try to express myself on behalf of people with colour perception deficiencies. In order to be sure that all achromatopsiatics / colour-blind people can see the pieces correctly whatever the background colour, it is necessary to make them as contrasted and as less coloured as possible (white/b...

I don't want to break your work just for me eyes. A preference setting to choose design would be nice. But any very contrasted color will work. Black would be the best, of course.

Hi all. It's a problem for me. I don't see colors very well: I'm not color blind but I have achromatopsia problem: I barely see only black, white and red. With these new pieces, I have great difficulties to see black (blue?) pieces on the Brandubh dark green background while I saw them very well wit...

There's one quirk about the new rules that bugs me a little. If the king moves from the throne to a neighboring square which is between two black pieces, then under the new rules immediately capturing the king is harder than under the old rules: previously the king could be captured by moving to su...

Yes, just did: +1.11
So king2nextthrone stood its ground after a test tournament and 140 test games.

Very good. It was also my feeling while playing. It makes the white job harder.

Measured Brandubh game balances at the moment:
Ordinary rules: +1.49
King cannot return to throne: +1.36
King captured next to the throne by 2 blacks: +1.08

Hagbard, did you compute king2nextthrone balance now tournament 146 ended?

It could also be possible we have to combine the 2 variants to balance the game.

We've done several games Hnefihunter and myself with [king2nextthrone + noreturn] and it shows it's too much in favour of attackers.

We don't know king2nextthrone's current balance but it looks pretty good to us.
