Napoleon Bonaparte chess

in regular chess you can't capture your own pieces even in situations where it may be better to sacrifice your own pawn for the safety of the king. they've made atomic chess and chess 960 (genius). So how about allowing the capture of your own pieces.

Why is it called Napoloen chess? 

because he's the kinda guy that would capture his own pieces in order to win a war

I thought you were going to post one of his games. He was very keen on cavalry maneuvers.

Idk what cavalry maneuvers are, I play e4e5nf3 style. name that opening and variant all day

Are any of his games recorded? I doubt it.

I wonder if they are legit though. He was very careful about his image. 

There are persistent rumors that the game by Mme what's-her-name was deliberately thrown to him... overall, she was a much better player than he was, according to contemporary accounts.

Jesus Christ people, forget the name of the idea. let's focus on the idea of the game

1.e4 e5 2.Qf3.

There are four games attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte. All four can be viewed at chessgames.com. Two of the games are with Empress Joséphine's Lady-in-waiting, Elisabeth le Michaud d'Arcon de Vaudey, Madame De Remusat  with whom Napoleon had an affair (actually one game is a mirror image of the other); one game is with the Automaton, the Turk (Johann Allgaier), and one is with Henri-Gratien, Comte Bertrand when in exile at St. Helena. While undoubtedly Napoleon played each of these individuals at chess, it's just as clear that these were not the games.

I played the WQA 2 minutes ago. This's what happened.

The game supposedly played against Bertrand was actually between Captain Kennedy and Rev. John Owen.
