Subject: Compromise Chess

With all the interest in Ambiguous Chess, I'm beginning to wonder whether anyone else here would like to see Compromise Chess added. It seems to me to be a close cousin (or maybe just an older aunt or uncle) of Ambiguous Chess.

Rules summary: player to move proffers 2 candidate moves (except in cases of forced moves--which are directly made); the other player decides which of the 2 candidate moves is actually played. Where things get really interesting: captures and responses to them. :)

Do you think we will live forever? There is not much timeeeee for all these!
Ambiguous Chess is enough for me.....
Hopefully it will not be me that would decide if this new game you propose will be added here....

Subject: Re: Compromise Chess

wetware: Good old Compromise Chess is also a nice game, it is indeed the variant closest to Ambiguous Chess. It looks like it is usually played with the rule that if you have only one move to get out of check, your opponent has to accept it. However, I prefer the "wild" rule that in such a case you lose the game (because your opponent will capture your king).
