Check out Symmetric Chess, our featured variant for March, 2024.

Schoolbook (updated)

This is a rules file for Zillions of Games, a Windows program that will let you play any puzzle or strategy board game you can feed it the rules to. With Zillions-of-Games installed, this rules file will let you play this game against your computer.

This is a Zillions file that implements my Schoolbook chess variant using both my own and the alfaerie pieces. Since chessvariants.org has a 100k file size limit, this version is a slightly abridged version of the Zillions file. I also have available an unabridged version (with updated graphics).
