Chessgi

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Chessgi here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Origins unknown, named by Ralph Betza. Captured units change side and can be dropped.

Promoted pieces revert to pawn status upon being captured.

You may drop pawns on the first rank or the eighth rank.

This differs from Crazyhouse because promoted pieces keep their status.

Chessgi. (8x8, Cells: 64)
2008-01-04		Excellent	Nice game, that's the kind of game that makes me want to take every single piece and overwhelm the king with every of them :D. You did a mistake in the description: you forgot a not in the rule 'You may drop a pawn on the 1st or 8th row'. We can't drop them on those two rows.	View [*]
