DISCOVER AND PLAY NUMEROUS GAMES SIMILAR TO CHESS Chess has its origins in the Arabian game of Shatranj , which goes back to the Indian game of Chaturanga . It is also related to Xiangqi in China, to Janggi in Korea, and to Shogiin Japan.
Many other games have been inspired by or based on Chess and its relatives. All of these games are similar to Chess yet also different from it in various ways. Thanks to computers and the internet, it is now possible to play several of these Chess variants without physical boards and pieces. This website – The Chess Variant Pages – is here for cataloging, discussing, and playing the many games that are based on, related to, or similar enough to Chess.LEARN

Home page of The Chess Variant Pages. MISSING DESCRIPTION H. G. Muller wrote on 2020-05-14 UTC Yes, it worked. I used it to upload the missing kanji-tiles needed by the Dai Shogi and Tengu Dai Shogi articles.View
Fergus Duniho wrote on 2020-05-14 UTC I think I shouldn't have set $itemid to the value of $newid. So I undid that. Try it again now.View
H. G. Muller wrote on 2020-05-14 UTC Ah OK, sorry I did misunderstand that. The response to the URL yougave me was:
AUTHORID IS "", AUTHORID2 IS "", PERSONID IS "HGMULLER" YOU MUST BE AN EDITOR OF THIS SITE OR AN AUTHOR OF THE ITEM MSCHUSHOGITO USE THIS SCRIPT.
Things have improved a bit since yesterday: the Upload or Manage Files links in the Chu Shogi article now brings me to a nice overview of all the uploaded images. So the problem with the directory naming seems solved. But when I actually try to upload a file, it prints the samemessage as above.

Fergus Duniho wrote on 2020-05-14 UTC Since there might be mismatches between other ItemIDs and their corresponding directories, I added some error correction just in case the expected directory is not found. It will try it without any hyphens if the corresponding unhyphenated ItemID does not exist, and if the unhyphenated directory name is then found to exist, it will use it. This will work so long as neither MSchushogi nor membergraphics/MSchu-shogi exist. If you want a more stable solution, we can still replace one with the other.View
Fergus Duniho wrote on 2020-05-13 UTC It looks like there is no general sanitation of itemids in the old upload script. There is sanitation of new itemids, but the way it is presently coded, hyphens are allowed in itemids. For some reason, perhaps because some code was different in the past, there is a mismatch between your itemid and the corresponding graphics folder. The main way for me to fix it is to change one to match the other. I could change MSchu-shogi to MSchushogi, or I could change membergraphics/MSchushogi to membergraphics/MSchu-shogi. The former would have me doing search and replace in the database, and the latter would require you to change some links. If you don't have too many links to change, the latter will be easier. Let me know which I shoulddo.
