An Extremely Cool Variant on Chess.com 2.0!

In this variant, whenever a pawn is captured, its head falls off and it becomes a stumped pawn. Nothing can be on the square the stump is on for the remainder of the game, but knights can still jump over it! In case you're wondering, once a pawn is captured, the piece is allowed to stay on the stump for 5 moves before it must move. If no progress can be made because there are too many stumps blockading the board, the game will automatically be a draw.

Here's a position I set up so you can see the stumped pawns. Although they can't move, they can be an important defensive piece and keep the game more interesting!

You're posting like crazy.

It comes out in 2022. I have early access to test out the features

How you get all this information?

Um.. What does this mean, exactly?

How does it decide if its a draw?

I can't reveal everything yet, but it depends on whether the pieces have crossed the stumps are not and how many pieces have been captured in the last 50 moves

A couple of trusted premium members were allowed to test out the features

Thanks

It only happens with pawns. Other pieces leave the board

pawns are useless prisoners so they are beheaded
