Subject: Re: Possible Chess Variant

Modified by AbigailII (21. April 2010, 01:03:25)

AbigailII: I agree with other posters that Dice Chess can be a bit repeatative. Here's a variant I came up with. I've never play tested it though.

Played on a 10x8 board.

Each player has 3 Kings, 1 Queen, 1 Archbishop, 1 Chancellor, 1 Rook, 1 Bishop, 1 Knight, and 10 Pawns.

White starts with 10 Pawns on the 2nd row; Black with 10 Pawns on the 7th.

The remaining pieces of White are placed randomly on the first row, under the condition no 2 Kings are placed next to each other.

Blacks pieces are placed on the 8th row, mirrorring White's.

Each Player has two 8-sided dice; each face representing one of the 8 different pieces.

On each turn, the Player's dice are rolled. Player must move one of the pieces shown on the dice - or promote a Pawn to the shown piece. (So, if Player rolls Rook and Bishop, he either moves his Rook, moves his Bishop, or promotes a Pawn to Rook or Bishop).

If a Player cannot move either of the shown pieces (because the pieces are blocked, or captured and no longer on the board), nor promote a Pawn to a shown piece, the Player must forfeit his move.

Pawns aren't allowed to promote to King nor to Pawn.

If a Player is in Check, and he has the option to move out of Check (or to eliminate the Check), he must do so.

A Player may not move into Check unless he has no other move available.

A King attacking a King is not counted as Check.

First Player to capture all opponents Kings wins.

On the first move, one of the dice will show a Pawn.

Possible variants on rolling doubles:

Player may make any moves he wants.

Player may move indicated piece twice (but not capture a King on the second move).

Player must pass.
