Onderwerp: Duck Chess

This new variant is going viral on chess.com, I think this game is very deep, fun and simple at the same time, as just one brick piece "the duck" has to be added and moved every turn, to standard chess.
I'd like to see it in Brainking too!

Onderwerp: Re: Duck Chess

Thom27:

The duck is a brick - pieces cannot move through the square occupied by the duck. However, knights can jump over the duck. Each player’s turn has 2 steps: After moving a piece, the duck must be moved to a different and empty square. There is no check or checkmate. Capture the opponent’s king to win. (Invented by Dr Tim Paulden.)

ScaryMonster: Thank you. But how does the duck move? Can it jump to any empty square?

My understanding is you move the Duck yourself to any original & empty square

yes but it has to move each time.
This gives an incredible boost of strategic and tactic possibilities, and since at every turn there are more than 600 different moves (regular move + duck move combined), it's quite impossible to make a decent competitive engine.

It jumps freely to any empty square, but it cannot stay on the same square after each move.
