Allow Queen Bee to be the first move.

Open guillermo-morini-ef opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

As a player When I go to place the first piece Then I should be able to place the queen as my first move.

Currently, its seems neither player can place the queen bee as the first move.

While this is not an official rule in the game box, the community has decided to disallow Queen placements first. They found that it led to an inordinate amount of draws. It's referred to as Tournament Rules online. I think this only implements TR.

Yes, I implemented the tournament rules (no queen-bee first moves) because even the game's creator endorsed the rule change.

Because of how I architected the code, I just never got around to figuring out rules variants.

@jonthysell do you thin it is possible to add an option to GameTypeString in UHP to choose the opening type?

Something like Base+StandardOpening or Base+TournamentOpening.
