I think the most natural rule is that you can't capture your own king. This is a rule used on BrainKing.com (see http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=98). The game is really fun to play!
Sorry for my stupid remark but what would happen if I take my own king and I don't drop it back in the game later ?
I think that Recycle Chess is now being played *with* promotions (I have always played it and seen it played that way). At least I composed an endgame study based on promotions together with the author and he didn't object :-)
There is a fairly obvious further variant: COMBINING Recycle Chess with Hostage Chess. Enemy captures would go to prison until swapped, friendly captures would go straight to reserve. What does anyone think of that idea?
A fantastic game, which deserves to be more widely known. After many discussions about whether Hostage Chess should be considered as the best piece-dropping variant over Chessgi, this game overseeds both by some way. It has the following advantages : - Only one set of pieces is needed, unlike Chessgi. - The rules are kept very simple, unlike Hostage Chess. - The possibility for the king to capture one's pieces makes defense easier, counter-balancing the attacking possibilities given by piece drops, unlike both other games. - Endgames do exist, unlike both other games. Endgames with possible piece drops can be quite fascinating.
