Deluxe Chess. http://hometown.aol.com/taurusgaming/index.html.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Introducing DELUXE CHESS, Where the least expierienced player starts with more Queens than the expert or master to level the playing field, played on a 14 x 8 board similar to Big Chess. In Deluxe Chess 'you don't have to be the best to win!' Challengers wanted.
So what's YOUR favorite?. Yeah, we've got a list of recognized variants. But what games are YOUR personal favorites?[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]My all time favorite is 4-Way Chess. I'm beginning to enjoy Moderate Progressive Chess, especially against an evenly matched opponent. Pillars of Medusa by Gary Gifford is an incredible cerebral experience if you're ready to go into deep thought exercises. And now another new game. DELUXE CHESS, similar to Double Chess, allows an extra Queen to the lower rated player to even the playing field. Very fun in over the board play, and now ready to play on the courier. Challenger's wanted.
Recognized Chess Variants. Index page listing the variants we feel are most significant. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]4-Way Chess isn't recognized either so I don't think it's that big of a deal, there's still lots of people who play it, and that's all that really matters anyway.
Pillars of Medusa Preset for Game Courier. Play this variation of Turkish Great Chess with two additional pieces, the Morph and the Medusa, on Game Courier .[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In reading the rules it seems that en passant is not allowed. Is this correct? I would like to challege the inventor of this game to a match. I have an open invite up if you are interested.
Assimilation Chess. Increase your material by assimilating your opponent's pieces. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Can a knight assimilate with a queen? In reading the rules it appears they my not, is that correct?
BordahBee. Missing description (2x(8x8), Cells: 128) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]If you want to move a unit on one board and you dont have any armies of the specific calibur required to move on the second board, what happens? Do you simply not move on the second board, or is the first move disallowed?
Dead Ringers Chess. Double chess game with twin pieces that are captured simultaneously. (2x(8x8), Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think some clarification of the rules is required. I assume, if a piece is captured on the first move of your turn its twin is immediately removed from the other board b4 you make the second move of your turn. The rules say that the first person to capture the enemy king wins. I assume this means that check and check-mate do not apply, or do you play that you can only move into check if you are already in check-mate? Also, if a player captures a piece on the first move of his turn and removing its twin allows a (un)disclosed check on the second board you may simply capture the enemy king (and its twin) and win the game. Sounds like fun!

Tutti-Frutti Chess. With bishop-knight, knight-rook, queen-knight and the usual pieces on an 8 by 8 board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I propose that the compound pieces in this game be called: Arch-Bishop (Bishop+Knight) Wizard (Rook+Knight) a.k.a. Chancellor Prince (Queen+Knight) a.k.a. Amazon Accept my open invitation to play me a game of Tutti-Frutti Chess. You gotta try this game it is really fun, (if you like pulling your hair out of your head, lol)
Leapers Chess
. Played upon a 10x10 field with all the pieces having leaping capability.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] The FIDE Laws Of Chess. The official rules of Chess from the World Chess Federation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Usually I try to get my king to the other side of the board just to show my opponent how strong my position has become. I think the rule should be that if you get your king to the other side of the board you WIN
Univers Chess. A Carrera's Chess variant based on Bruno Violet's Universal Chess. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Its just plain fun to invent new names for pieces, although i think archbishop and chancellor are the names that will stick. Please note it is common to call a rook a castle, and a knight a horse. Check out Mid-evil chess for a new twist I added to capablanca like games. I call the amazon the Prince, or the 'Mean Queen'

Moderate Progressive Chess. A player may make one more move than his opponent just made. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I dont think castling helps you much in this game. its better to keep the king in the middle, he may be your last warrior.

House of Mirrors Chess. Mirrors and reflective pieces add interesting twists to strategy by making pieces appear in 2 or 3 places at the same time.

Game Courier Ratings. Calculates ratings for players from Game Courier logs. Experimental.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a suggestion. Is it possible to have a maximum number of points that a player can gain or lose per game? I am thinking of a maximum change per game of around 10 or 20 points, because there are many players listed here who have only played one or two games but they have highly inflated or deflated ratings. Hats off to Jeremy Good who apparently has completed more games here than anyone else, looks like 250 completed games, and counting!

Four Handed Chess (I). Information on different variants of four handed chess on plus-shaped board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Mid-evil Chess. Adds a Prince (combines the moves of queen and knight) to Capablanca's array by eliminating one knight...[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In the Mid-evil Chess pre-set and Elite Chess the Prince is the name of the piece that combines the move of queen and knight. Prince seems to be more in line with the Medieval jargon of the game, although you may still refer to it as the Amazon, just as a Rook is often called a castle, and a Knight called a horse.
Amazon Grand Chess. A combination of Grand Chess and Amazon Chess. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I made a preset with these same pieces on an 11x8 board to avoid the open ranks behind each kingdom. It is listed as Elite Chess

Capablanca's Chess. Play Capablanca's Chess on the Play-by-Mail system![All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Casablanca Chess is inferior because the initial set-up allows a fools mate in 2.

Four Handed Chess (I). Information on different variants of four handed chess on plus-shaped board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a new rule set similar to yours, although we play 4-Way Chess on the Dessau board. Its called REGICIDE RULES, the king must be actually captured rather than just check-mated. Even when check-mated a player still gets to make a move even if moving into check, and sometimes check-mate can be evaded, it is intense. After a king is killed the rest of his pieces remain on the board and can not move except to capture. See the rules at this link: http://hometown.aol.com/taurusgaming/regicide.html

Feedback to the Chess Variant Pages - How to contactus. Including information on editors and associate authors of the website.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]yes, but in chess variants the rules are different for every game. Are u talking about USCF Tournament rules? Typically in friendly games people commonly play that if one player only has a king left u must check-mate him in 25 moves or its a draw.

4-Way Chess. Commercial fourhanded chess variant.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]'Trust and doubt' situations in this game can be very interesting. When playing with amatuers I often say, 'never trust your partner to protect your pieces'. Generally I will avoid risky assaults that are dependent on my partner's help, I have lost too many men that way. On the other hand, if your partner is a very good chess player then the co-operative double attacks are what make this game so much fun.
