I started this Forum to see if there are any  other Players as crazy about Crazy House Chess as I am. With the new Chess.com V3 system, you can set up live in  house crazy house tourneys of various ratings and times for individual groups. This sounds to me a very easy way of getting  trophys playing a crazy fun chess variant. If you are interested in getting involved, evolving with this new game and winning trophy's in the process, let me know here and i will message you with the Link to the Crazy House Group. I can also post the rules here and we can learn it beforehand, its easy and fun. I am just trying to get a small group going to get easy trophys, so please take interest if you can for a good cause of having Fun !

Crazyhouse Chess

Crazyhouse chess is a chess variant similar to Bughouse chess but played with 2 players and no teams. Each player has a "pocked" or "reserve" for pieces. Every time a piece is captured the capturing player gets a piece of the same type and of their colour in their reserve. At any time that player can drop that piece on any vacant square on the board. The same rules as regular chess apply except for some new rules. The first rule is that pawns can't be dropped on the 1st and 8th ranks. The second is that pawns that get promoted and then captured are dropped back on the board as pawns. Third, unlike in Shogi, a Japanese chess-like game that is similar to crazyhouse chess, you can drop pieces that result in immediate checkmate. Lastly, in crazyhouse the usual algebraic notation is extended to include the dropping of pieces. For example, "Q@h8" means "Queen is place on h8 from reserve".

For example lets assume that in this position white has a queen in their reserve.
