  18. LegendsSquad Hi, I am new here, it really looks like Lichess.
  19. LegendsSquad Also, how can I become a moderator? It seems a bit to difficult to find a mod.
  20. FiveKnights It is not possible to apply to become a moderator. If we see someone who we think would be good as a moderator,we will contact them directly
  21. FiveKnights playstrategy.org/faq#mod-application
  22. FiveKnights @statmatt @vincent @jheps are mods if you need help
  23. LegendsSquad Thanks.
  24. LegendsSquad Are the creators of this site Lichess mod members?
  25. FiveKnights not that im aware of, the site is not affiliated with lichess, it only shares a lot of the same code
  26. LegendsSquad Oh, It just seems different by all the variants you can play, easier. Thanks!
  27. LegendsSquad Also, I think I need help, I really want to make a bot account, how? Anything helps.
  28. FiveKnights playstrategy.org/blog/YvJkQxAAACIApTnD/welcome-playstrategy-bots
  29. FiveKnights you can use the bot API
  30. LegendsSquad A little complicated, but thanks.
  31. LegendsSquad I have just read the TOS, and compared it to Lichess, I can honestly say that this site is better
  32. FiveKnights most people play during monthly shield tournaments, dont expect to find too many players here though
  33. LegendsSquad Exactly, few players, the more pieceful.
  34. LegendsSquad Want to challenge me? @FiveKnights
  35. FiveKnights not really. have fun on the site
  36. LegendsSquad Ok, thanks.

  97. FiveKnights playstrategy.org/variant/shogi
  98. FiveKnights challenge @PS-Random-Mover to a game to understand the pieces
  99. FiveKnights you can also change the piece set to western by clicking your profile in top right then select piece set > shogi
  100. FiveKnights playstrategy.org/player/bots you can play some easy bots like greedy one move or stockfish level 1
  101. FiveKnights if you want more human opponents than this site, i suggest lishogi website
  102. ronin3b aren't there any shogi studies on here?
  103. FiveKnights very few, best is to be on site actually dedicated to shogi
  104. FiveKnights forgot to mention they have excellent tutorial https://lishogi.org/learn
  105. AustrianEmpire atomic?

  126. Hokusai Anyone up for a game of go ?
  127. ronin3b I can play
  128. ronin3b lichess is down
  129. ChessNetwork ya
  130. EwieDaLord when lichess down playstrat at your service
  131. Aritra_saha690 lmao
  132. threebeen3 i love you
  133. Aritra_saha690 i also love myself
  134. ChessNetwork Aritra what are you doing?
  135. ChessNetwork In here (PlayStrategy)?
  136. AustrianEmpire atomic?????
  137. WildWizard Weather lichess is down or not you should still play here.
  138. FiveKnights nah, if you want to consistently play chess variants, you should stick to lichess and maybe play the medley shield here
  139. FiveKnights this site is good for those who want to try out more games, which many from lichess often arent interested enough
  140. FiveKnights in other words, if you are only interested in chess variants, i wouldnt recommend the site, for anything else i would recommend it
  141. FiveKnights that doesnt include chess variants like monster and 5 check, but the ones you can play on lichess
  142. WildWizard true I just problem like this site more
  143. WildWizard There is just so many variants to the games I enjoy
  144. statmatt PlayStrategy will be in maintenance between 0630 - 0700 UTC +0
  145. statmatt The maintenance has concluded please let us know if you notice anything strange

  151. ronin3b What the hell just happened?
  152. ronin3b ok, this is weird, my message went out twice
  153. ronin3b or rather, it was displayed twice. now i refreshed and only appears once
  154. Jheps That can sometimes happen for a user when there is a restart, you have to time it well!
  155. CDR31 hi
  156. ronin3b Nice!
  157. davidlistonosz Hey guys, in a medley tournament, can I choose exactly which variants I want to include from the Chess category? Or is it a
  158. davidlistonosz *all from the whole Chess pack?
  159. davidlistonosz also, there's an option to select only the exotic ones, does it mean just zh, koth, atomic, horde and racing kings? just double checking
  160. davidlistonosz trying to run my little medley tourney here
  161. FiveKnights i tested it and got monster, rk and 3+. if i had to guess, its probably all chess variants
  162. FiveKnights as far as i know, you cant choose a specific game from a group to be in medley
  163. statmatt Exotic Chess Variants are the 8 variants listed here: playstrategy.org/tournament/medley-shield/shieldChessMedley
  164. statmatt Which variants do you want @davidlistonosz
