This is an event that is part of a variant called event chess. More about event chess can be read here.
Event #6 Starvation
Condition: None
After each move, the piece that moved will be removed from the board unless one of the following conditions are met:
1. The moved piece was a pawn
2. The piece moved from a square adjacent to a pawn
3. The piece moved to a square adjacent to a pawn
4. The move captured a pawn.
When a player performs castling, only the piece that moved first (king) gets affected by this event.
If a move would cause a royal piece (king) to get removed, then it is treated the same as putting that piece into check (not allowed).
If a player is stalemated and there are no pawns next to his royal piece, that player looses the game instead of the game ending in a draw.
The marked green squares indicate the squares adjacent to the pawn.
Example 1:
White plays e4. Since it was a pawn that moved, the pawn survives.
Example 2:
White plays e8=Q. Since it was a pawn that moved, the new queen survives.
Example 3:
White plays Ne5. Since the knight moved from a square next to a pawn, the knight survives.
Example 4:
White plays Ne5. Since the knight moved to a square next to a pawn, the knight survives.
Example 5:
White plays Nxe5. Since the knight captured a pawn, the knight survives.
Example 6:
White plays Ne5, Since none of the conditions are met the knight is removed from the board.
Example 7:
White plays Nxe5. Since none of the conditions are met, the knight is removed from the board.
Example 8:
White can play 0-0 or 0-0-0. Even if white plays 0-0-0, whites rook will survive, since only the king is affected by this event when castling.
Example 9:
White is checkmated. White can't play Kd1, Kxd2 or Ke2 since the king would get removed (same as putting itself into check).
Example 10:
White is stalemated. But, since he does not have any pawns next to his king, black wins!
