The Goddess merely recalled the official rules.<br/><br/>26 threads, we use 3 for the general game, which means there'll be 23 threads available for "combat". I don't think we'll exceed that limit at the same time. We will if it becomes an attrition game and we count dead threads, but hopefully, by then we have 1000 posts and this game will get it's own unique board.<br/><br/>Btw, what happens with checkmate? Since the king is assigned to a player, we'll have to play out the "hit", but does the king get another move before the hit is played or directly? What in the case of a doublecheck?
