Dice Chess is a light way to pass time with a chess variant when you don't feel like thinking too much.

Note that my estimates for the values of the chess pieces seems applicable here too: P=1; N=3.49; B=3.5; R=5.5; Q=10 and a fighting value of K=4.

Hi Ben

I'm afraid I have no idea where wikipedia might have obtained their suggested rules from.

I can't quite tell from the Wikipedia article; are these rules from Gollon's book? I don't have a copy, but if so this page should probably reference that book directly rather than the wiki article.
