Pieces promote upon being moved. A maximum of four rooks, four bishops, and four knights are allowed in play at any time. I take this to mean for each side. Mate any king to win. I ignored en passant. V.R. Parton, 1961. Chess Variants

These are simple illustrations rather than strong opponents.

Gryphon Chess. (8x8, Cells: 64)
2004-12-07	Nasmichael Farris	Good	This game is wild! To play live would take a patient opponent, a few sets, and some scoresheets, but it would make the folks at the local coffeehouse sit up and take notice! They would say I was crazy, but chess history should make the people smile, and open their eyes to something new.	View [*]
