Atlantis Chess. Instead of moving, a player may remove an square from the edges of the board. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Dane,
Yes, the board can be cut in two. Yes, knights can jump over removed squares just like they jump over occupied squares. I'm not sure what you mean by 'special rule'.

When is the deadline for submission to your 45/46 contest?
So, would you prefer a Rook+Nightrider to a Marshall? Or a Bishop+Nightrider to a Cardinal?
2007-2008 Chess Variants Design Contest. Chess variant inventors gather round! We're doing it again! Exact nature of contest to be determined with YOUR help!![All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I'd like to submit the following theme ideas:
- An X-squares contest: The number of squares would be variable, changing during the game. An example would be Tile Chess.
- A 45-piece contest
- A 3-player variant contest
All the Way Chess. Pieces must move as far as they can when moved. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]According to The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants (p. 51), Jaime Poniachik invented this game in 1995 under the name 'Banana-Skin Chess'. Editors, please make the appropriate corrections.
I apologize for my error.
Seirawan Chess. invented by GM Yasser Seirawan, a conservative drop chess (zrf available).[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Since Scrabble has neither determinism nor perfect information, it seems that removing those elements from chess won't necessarily prevent Scrabblization.
Chess on a Mass Transit System. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Sorry, (zz038)A. Black, I didn't mean to imply that you personally were looking for a duplicate of chess. The second sentence in my previous comment was an attempt to preemptively answer an anticipated question from some as-yet undetermined 'you'.
Anyway, I believe you can set up a game of 'Chess on a Mass Transit System' on a chessboard or any other sort of game board.

According to Article 8 of the FIDE Laws of Chess:
So, either put the pieces back where they were before you exposed your king, or cancel the game and start over.
According to Article 8 of the FIDE Laws of Chess:
If, during a game, it is found that an illegal move was made, the position shall be reinstated to what it was before the illegal move was made. The game shall then continue by applying the rules of Article 7 to the move replacing the illegal move. If the position cannot be reinstated, the game shall be annulled and a new game played.
So, either put the pieces back where they were before you exposed your king, or cancel the game and start over.
Chess on a Mass Transit System. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Yes, you could set up a transit system that'd work on a chessboard. If you want a more exact duplicate of chess, you should add 'Restricted' pieces that are only allowed to use specified routes.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX! Chess. A game designed to be as different to chess as possible while still being the same as chess. (1x72, Cells: 72) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]A Mook is a Rook that can castle and a Computer is a Rook that cannot castle.
No-Yes! Chess. French commercial variant with an element of chance.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Replace the 'fr/home' in the URL with 'en/home' to get English. Unfortunately, the translation seems to be mechanically produced.
The ShortRange Project. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It seems that all the pieces in the ShortRange Project will capture by displacement. Is that a deliberate choice?
Caïssa Britannia. British themed variant with Lions, Unicorns, Dragons, Anglican Bishops, and a royal Queen. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Well, someone's thought of a DaVinci chess problem: http://www.neverendingbooks.org/index.php/a-davinci-chess-problem/
Chess. The rules of chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Anyone aware of amusing alternate appellations for the other chess pieces? For example, did anyone grow up calling the pawns 'midgets'?
The FIDE Laws Of Chess. The official rules of Chess from the World Chess Federation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]No. A king may never move itself next to the opponent's king. Period.
See the Chess FAQ for more information.
Leapers Chess. Played upon a 10x10 field with all the pieces having leaping capability.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Well, while we're being silly, how about a Carpenter-Bishop mix -- a Carhop? :-)

To make an en passant capture, the attacking pawn must be on the opponent's fourth row. Also, if you capture en passant, that is your move -- you don't get a bonus turn. For more information on en passant, see this FAQ page.
Perpetual check. Explanation of perpetual check with an animated diagram.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Rico,
If it's a draw, then neither player wins and neither player loses. In a tournament game (where a win gets 1 point and a loss gets 0 points), each player would get 1/2 a point for the draw.

Poll number Approval Poll for Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games you want in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It looks like 'Two Pipe Chess' is so nice, it's listed twice.
Wey. Another variant in the same family as Avon, Cam, Isis, and Kennet. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In the last sentence, should 'vihop' be 'Bishop'?

Editors: Maybe there should be a link in the 50-moves paragraph of this Rules of Chess page to the 50-moves FAQ page.
