Hi

As a child used to play a variant called negative chess. Objective is simple you let all your pieces get killed to win the game. Sounds easy but not so easy in real.

Rules are:

1. Starting position is same as in normal chess, but black has opening move.

2. Pieces will move in same manner as in normal chess.

3. No checkmates.

4. If you are in postion to capture opponent's piece then you must do so. Cannot play other move.

5. Pawns can be promoted as in normal chess.

Any one played  or playing this with same name or with different name?

Yep, I've heard it called Take Me, Losing Chess, Eat Me, the name you described, where the objective is either to be left without pieces or left without a move. I've never heard of it being played with Black starting though, I'm not sure what the point of that would be.

Give-away Chess! 'Tis better to give than to receive.

I am not sure but I think starting with black is for being different

Fair enough, but that probably just serves to make it confusing.

IT IS OK FOR CHILDREN ==BUT WE SHOULD STAY WITH THE REAL GAME IT SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME

I have seen three other formats of chess apart from the normal one sometime ago. Those are : Suicide chess, Crazyhouse chess and Losers chess. Below are the playing rules taken from Apple Chess Help. I agree we must stay on to normal chess but playing other variants helps you think different strategies and in a different way (can be helpful).

I used to play a chess game as a child where white gets one move then black gets two moves and then white gets three move etc. a check would end the series of moves.  play to check mate and usually the games did not last long.

Anyone heard of this?  If so--what is the theoretical result of a game played perfectly? 

It's called Progressive Chess. I don't know the theory.

WHy should i waste time on thaT?

The game you described is known as losing chess and White moves first. As for it being a waste of time, I don't see why it's anymore a waste of time than regular chess or any other game if you enjoy playing it. I'd play it here if I could occasionally.

I've seen quite a lot of people who play like this in normal chess anyway.

LMFAO!!

Actually I think it should be called emo chess

Negative chess was quite a fun way to get by with a quick game with the chessboard. I went ahead and created an app for this on android if anyone is interested, please take a look :)

Progressive chess is great fun and it is even good for teaching say high school kids as it helps to think ahead and also you learn mating problems.

[though I am not  so sure we should teach high school kids more of how to mate....]

Wow progressive chess is so much fun. I totally agree with ponz. It starts with white making 1 move, black making 2, white making 3, etc. The only rule is that you have to check with your last move (same with checkmate)

It's an attacking game. Great for seeing mating patterns and other ideas.
