BordahBee. Missing description (2x(8x8), Cells: 128) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]If you want to move a unit on one board and you dont have any armies of the specific calibur required to move on the second board, what happens? Do you simply not move on the second board, or is the first move disallowed?
Dead Ringers Chess. Double chess game with twin pieces that are captured simultaneously. (2x(8x8), Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I think some clarification of the rules is required. I assume, if a piece is captured on the first move of your turn its twin is immediately removed from the other board b4 you make the second move of your turn. The rules say that the first person to capture the enemy king wins. I assume this means that check and check-mate do not apply, or do you play that you can only move into check if you are already in check-mate? Also, if a player captures a piece on the first move of his turn and removing its twin allows a (un)disclosed check on the second board you may simply capture the enemy king (and its twin) and win the game. Sounds like fun!

Four Handed Chess (I). Information on different variants of four handed chess on plus-shaped board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a new rule set similar to yours, although we play 4-Way Chess on the Dessau board. Its called REGICIDE RULES, the king must be actually captured rather than just check-mated. Even when check-mated a player still gets to make a move even if moving into check, and sometimes check-mate can be evaded, it is intense. After a king is killed the rest of his pieces remain on the board and can not move except to capture. See the rules at this link: http://hometown.aol.com/taurusgaming/regicide.html

4-Way Chess. Commercial fourhanded chess variant.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]'Trust and doubt' situations in this game can be very interesting. When playing with amatuers I often say, 'never trust your partner to protect your pieces'. Generally I will avoid risky assaults that are dependent on my partner's help, I have lost too many men that way. On the other hand, if your partner is a very good chess player then the co-operative double attacks are what make this game so much fun.
