Pawn Eaters

This page contains one or more presets for playing a game online with Game Courier, an online server for playing Chess variants by correspondence.

When your opponent has no more pawns, you win. There are no checks or checkmates. There are Shamanic Rooks that can appear on empty spaces, Pawn Eaters that move like Bishops but capture like Pawns [and cannot be captured by pawns]. There are Old Elephants [upside-down Y-movers] that can move straight forward up to three spaces or backwards diagonally up to two spaces.
