Switching Chess. In addition to normal moves, switch with an adjacent friendly piece. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think the first write-up of Switching Ch left out adjacency. Allowing same-coloured switching (excluding of course the pointless null move between like piece-types) regardless of position would create explosive play. A piece on rank 8 could switch with unmoved Pawn for immediate promotion. Or Knight switch with Queen seven spaces removed for a check or mate. That sub-rule is more in keeping with CVP's usual broadmindedness. The four-sentence rules as now evolved are more like a suggestion for serious reform of standard FIDE Chess. And as stated, SwCh plays better than Fischer's Random Chess.
