crazyhouse

what is it?!i heard it was a derivative from bug house!

Now im confused :)

Idk which 1 i like, Bughouse or crazyhouse? Im pretty sure its Bughouse..

Is bughouse the one where if you take your opponents Knight for example, your allowed to use it on the board later on?

no i think that is crazyhouse bug house you pass it on to your partner!

omfg, i love bug house! thats what it was!, i always played it in my schools chess club!, i never knew what it was called though, we just said wanna play doubles/teams :P.

I love both of them then!

Crazyhouse is where you take your opponents piece, and your allowed to use it as you own piece (dropping it on the board is a move :P)

Hope this helped.

kind of

what does the f mean in omfg(i am just kidding!)

 Kind of?! i just explained the whole game :P

and f means favourite :)

no you didn't so it is like a reg. chess game except you can use your opponents pieces?

yes, its regular chess.

You can use your opponent pieces.. but it turns into your colour (so technically you need another set of chess pieces with you in real life), so then you can use it.

For example Knight takes Knight, then my opponent moves pawn up 2, then i can drop my knight to fork his queen or rook, or just simply put my knight on a random helpful square.

Its really fun :)

and f means favourite :)

sure it does!

:)

This is a family site, so i try to use to friendliest words possible :P

yah i know just be careful ok!

maybe eric should put this on the site too!

yeah, crazyhouse is more possible then bughouse..

because bug house requires 2 people as a team, and idk if thats possible to do.

maybe Eric is going to check out my bug house forum so he might do one or both!

nice

I see there is an "award" for playing a game of crazyhouse, but I can't see how to start a game of this variant. Please help.

Play->variants

I know how to get to the variants page but once I am there how do you start Crazyhouse. It isn't listed and I tried searching for it to no avail..... 

Variants are not supported on the app. If you are using the Chess.com app, you cannot play any variants (except Chess960).

If you are not using the app, go to play and then go to custom game. You should see Crazyhouse as one of the options to select.
