Arena Chess
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once
David Howe's variant with a maximum of 32 turns.
Pieces may only move to squares in the central 8x4 arena. If they
begin in the arena, they may only move to capture. King and queen
may both move a maximum of 3 spaces in any direction. Pawns may capture
diagonally both forward and backward.
Win by
checkmating the king or the queen after capturing the other,
by capturing the last enemy piece presently in the arena, or by leaving
the enemy with no moves.
