Hour Glass Chess - Small variant with simple pieces and hour glass shape.

Promethean Chess

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

Non-royal units moving to any non-royal unit's home square and then leaving produce a duplicate. According to Pritchard, this is supposedly untested as a game.

2010-10-23Charles Gilman Verified as Charles GilmanNoneWhat would you call hte subvariant of Promethean Chess? Antimethean Chess, on the basis that pieces will be introduced 'anti' the camp where it happens? Or better still, how about Epimerthean Chess, after the mythical Prometheus' brother Epimetheus? The brothers' names mean foresigt and hindsight respectively.View [*]
2010-10-20Daniil Frolov Verified as Daniil FrolovGoodCool. How about subvariant, where created pieces belongs to color, opposite to color of piece, wich started on this square?View [*]
2007-05-11Armada Feline UnverifiedExcellentThis game is great! It was fun making so many queens, even if I did lose. ^_^ Keep up the good work! Here's suggestion: Why not make a game where you can make up your own peices and connect with other users over the internet for battle? That would be cool!View [*]
