Zillions of Games comes with a game called 'Double-Move Chess
(Checkmate),' whose description says, 'Checking the opponent is only
allowed on the second move.' To test whether it enforced this rule, I
played both sides. After moving all four center Pawns forward, I captured
the Black King with two moves from the light-squared White Bishop. The
game went like this: e2-e4, d2-d4; d7-d5, e7-d5; B f1-b5, B b5-e8.
Although the rule was stated in the description, the ZRF did not enforce
it.
