Conquer. Captured pieces change sides immediately, occupying the square the capturer moved from. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I vaguely recall we identified that problem before: the ID would not be able to play this variant because it has no repetition detection, and recaptures to the same square can continue forever (e.g. a Rook both attacked and protected by a Rook). I am not sure it was ever solved.

I have the shorter description of this variant.

“Captured piece swaps with its capturer and changes its color.”

Thanks for the tip. I tried the change but unfortunately the 'Whats New Text' in the 'Index Information' can only be changed by an editor.
