This scheme is too new and do not has notability enough to be placed on this page. It shoud be moved to the [[Scheme ideas]] page. [[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 13:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:EDIT: Really nice idea, this scheme is great, should be put in New Ideas due to the 1HP and 1 worm per team. Exclusive characteristics, makes this scheme different of all the famous schemes. [[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 13:55, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:Explorer09|Explorer09]] 14:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:I think it is Conventional gameplay. There is no specific map and no rules. There is just a place where the worms should be put before the beginning of the match. [[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 14:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:If this is what you defined "conventional gameplay", then what about the weapon-specific schemes like [[Bow and Arrows]] and [[Holy War]]? --[[User:Explorer09|Explorer09]] 23:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:They would be "Conventional gameplay", but they use specific weapons, so they should be moved to this cathegory. It's right. They need specific maps, but they can be done in the map editor just like [[Mole Shopper]]. [[WfW]] need maps with sprites, maps that must be done using external programs like photoshop, paint. That's why it is in "Other schemes". [[Holy War]] and [[BnA]] could also be like [[Rope Race]]: it is in Roping and Racing cathegories. [[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 13:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
EDIT: [[Worms Golf|Golf]] can also be done in the map editor but it's too specific map. The map is more complex, it's required more time to be done. And also maps in wmdb are much better for that. The same way as draw in the map editor a [[WxW]] map, it will not be good like the wmdb maps. Mole shopper: just fill the map. Holy War: just clear the map. Bna: just put a lot of pixels in the map.

::"so they should be moved to this cathegory" Which category? --[[User:Explorer09|Explorer09]] 16:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
:"Weapon specific". Sorry. [[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 19:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

==Scheme name (Chess? Sakk?)==
It says that "Sakk" means "Chess" in Hungarian, so which one is preferred to call this scheme? I just want the scheme to have an official name from the author. --[[User:Explorer09|Explorer09]] 14:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with Explorer09. --[[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] 20:48, 25 January 2012 (CET)
::To avoid confusion with other schemes named chess (like [[Worms Chess]]) that indeed have to do with the real chess board game (not the case of this one), in my opinion this scheme should be called '''Sudden Chess'''. --[[User:FoxHound|FoxHound]] ([[User talk:FoxHound|talk]]) 21:53, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

==My comment about this scheme==
*Needs improvement
*Gameplay is way too [[Team17 (scheme)|Team17]]-like and is not yet unique
*The round ends too quickly, especially in 1v1 games.
*It's not enjoyable in WormNET, due to its multi-round gameplay. (but it is good if played locally)

==Unpopularity==
I've tried hosting this in WormNET a few times, but not many people enjoy it.  They leave after falling because they're worm died and don't play the next round, and some leave just after hearing the explanation.  I like the scheme, but it doesn't really work in WormNET. <small>—Preceding [[w:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Omikron|Omikron]] ([[User talk:Omikron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omikron|contribs]]) 11:42, 27 March 2011 (CEST)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:This sounds like a problem with most obscure schemes (with non-trivial rules). You could try playing it with friends, or hosting a tournament at the next [[Worm Olympics]]. --[[User:CyberShadow|Vladimir]] 13:43, 27 March 2011 (CEST)
