Immortal Chess

Sort:
Thunder_Penguin

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!

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.

Ever heard of shogi?

kamuimaru

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

chessredpanda

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.

kamuimaru

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.

I tried it. The issue is kamikaze queen attacks that lead to perpetuals, and the position repeats in 300 moves
