Subject: Chess stickers
Years ago I bought some cards with chess boards printed on them and a supply of adhesive chess pieces, in order to record game position.
The company that used to sell them seems to be focussing on dice nowadays.

Does anyone know anywhere I could get hold of something similar?

Subject: HECATOMB CHESS
Hecatomb chess was been invented by Kevin Maroney

Each player has thirty one queens and one king .

The kings are positionned as a standard chess (white e1 and black e8) . The other squares each contain a queen (white of the first four rows , except e1, black on the last four rows , except e8 )

Apart from the particular opening setup , the game is played following all applicable rules of standard chess

Subject: KNIGHTS CHESS
Do not merge with Knight mate chess

The queen replaced by amazon , the bishops by cardinals , and the rooks by Marshalls (in move , amazon = queen and knight , marshall = rook and knight , cardinal = bishop and knight)

There is no a castle

Pawns can be promoted on a knight , rook , queen or bishop , as a standard chess

Subject: TUTTI FRUTTI CHESS
tutti frutti chess was invented in 1978 by Ralph Betsa and Philip Cohen . There are nine different pieces (each player starts a game with eight pawns (placed on their standard Chess positions) , one Amazon (on the D column) , one Marshall (on the A column) , one Cardinal (on the G column) , one queen (on the F column) , one rook (on the H column) , one bishop (on the C column) , one knight (on the B column) and one king (on the E column) .

In move , Marshall = knight and rook , Amazon = queen and knight , and Cardinal = bishop and knight

The king cas castle with the marshall , following standard castling rules

When a pawn reaches the last row (from the player's point of view) , it can be promoted to a knight , a rook , a bishop , a queen , a marshall , a cardinal or a amazon

The other rules are the same as for Standard chess

Hrqls: I am sure if Sheldon thought of it there would have to be some big explosion with some piece and the game would be over in a trice but to get there would require 23 moves performed in exactly the right order whilst facing west and only breathing out ... bless his soul.

Subject: the big bang theory
you are probably all also watching the big bang theory .... :)

in one of the episodes sheldon came up with a new type of chess with 2 extra pieces (the old lady and the serpent) ... that might actually be an interesting type of chess

later in the same episode they added even more rules and pieces, but i lost count at that time :)

By the way, Fencer, I always wanted to ask. Black rook is for life only? Do you have a second offer for the longer period that follows that?
