Another way to play Ahab chess

I've found another way to play this. Set that in the custom variants. If your Ahab gets killed, please resign!

Why that's suitable?

- Because the fake king can be killed, and the legal king will be never in check.

- Stalemate in Ahab chess 8*8 isn't affected by unmoveable king.

Therefore, we can set and play it online! With bare piece rule we can avoid the denial from Chess.com. It also doesn't affect because it can only be active when all your real pieces get killed (include your Ahab).

Both of you can privately discuss with the referee for being honest.

P/S: I also want to play it w/ you!

Oh cool! I was wondering if there was a good way to do this. The only part that we can’t test this way is castling, but overall it should work pretty well to play live test games.

Oh, I forgot that castling is only available with the royal-set king...

But it’s okay, this is good for testing purposes.

No castling makes sense since it's not the king!
