Pink Chess, also known as Dating Chess, is a unique and entertaining chess variant that incorporates a dating theme into the traditional game of chess. The game is played on a 9x9 board, and the goal of the game is for the White King to "marry" the Pink Queen, while the Queen must prevent it.
Each army has 1 King/Queen, 9 Pawns, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, 2 Captains, and 2 Divorce Lawyers. The Captains move like the Queen and are placed on each side of their royalty. The Divorce Lawyers are placed in front of the Pawns and move like a King and Knight. The Pink Queen moves like the King.
One of the unique features of Pink Chess is the "attraction power" of each piece. Each piece has either a "+" or "-" sign underneath it, representing its attraction power on a 50-50 ratio for each army. When a piece is captured, if the two pieces have opposite attraction powers, they "fall in love" and form a "family" that gains additional powers. The person with the "+" sign becomes the head of the family, and the other person loses their power and switches sides.
This is a chess variant I have created, and tried, unsuccessfully to publish it. Some rules may need to be changed. Looking for some feedback.
Families can only be captured and removed from the board by a Divorce Lawyer, who can also "fall in love" if captured and matched with an opposing piece. Pawns can only promote to Divorce Lawyers.
The political landscape of the game is also determined by the ratio of liberal/conservative families on the board. The King is interested in destroying liberal families, while the Queen is interested in destroying conservative families.
Any enemy piece in the King’s or Queen’s range, upon capturing, can become the new Queen or King. In that case, the other “single” royal figure on the board becomes vulnerable and can be checkmated.
A new royal family with the King in charge becomes conservative, while, in the case of the Queen, she will remain in charge, and the family will become liberal.
