There's a variant called Crazyhouse chess exactly like this. The definition is two (instead of four) player bughouse with one board.
well that sucks

But the difference between this and Crazyhouse is that when your own piece is captured you can drop it (in this variant). In Crazyhouse, when you capture a piece, it changes color and you can drop it.
With this variant, you don't need two sets of pieces.
That is, of course, if I understand the rules correctly.
you happen to. Thanks for clarifying.
I'd play shogi, but since the pieces are all the same shape and the only difference is the names written on the pieces and well I don't know the language I'm too lazy to learn how to play =P
Gosh that run-on sentence
do you know how to play it w ith 2 playerS?easy.you give the piece you capture to your opponent.its lame but fun.
No, it's not the same as bughouse. In bughouse, your opponent's pieces change color and become yours when captured. In this variant, all pieces stay the same. I stated that earlier.
Rules:
1) Like normal chess, but when a piece is captured, you can place it anywhere on the board.
1a) Pawns can not be placed on the back ranks
2) A repetition of moves is a loss for the player who has started it
3) Placing a piece counts as your move
4) You can't castle with a newly placed piece
And that's it, I guess...
Example:
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 d6 3. Bxf7+ Kxf7 4. Qh5+ Ke7 5. B@d5 Nf6 6. Qf7#
Enjoy!
