What strange chess rules can you think up?

Rocket was fired only in part for saying the f-word -- mostly for being not very good in a not very good season.  MacDonald was fired for making too many jokes about OJ on Update.  (Never doubt me on comedy, Andy -- Show Business is my Life! ) 

Capture the flag variation:

you can only win once you have 2 queens on your back rank. and king must still be in play. 

checkmate does not end the game, pawns can become a king if it's been captured. 

The King is no longer a "royal" piece but just a fighting piece like any other. Each side begins with a Throne off-board that moves like a King but does not capture. The Throne must be placed on a vacant square on or before move 10. The game is won by checkmating the Throne. Pawns promote only to Kings (if there is still a King on that player's side, the new piece is called a "Prince" but has the same power) or Knights.

He did say it, I rewind the dvr to confirm.  He tried to say a line  and it didn't come out right, so he said "What the f%%k was that" and he knew what he said and his face reacted.  I wasn't high either!

Good work, wk!  Clearly you were Not "high" when you recalled that snl incident --- well, unless, of course, you were high "on life," as a good chess-playing-comedy-trivia-expert usually IS. (I should know, because I am one).  

i knew a couple guys who played a game where you had to sac a piece every so many moves. i don't remember the rules, but it was interesting to manuever in preparation of the sac.

It's nice to have another one on this site and I hope, since you are a motherinlaw, you are also high on life! 

1. You get to move pawns backwards (but only on Tuesdays). Everytime you do so, you have to pat your forehead 3 times.

2. The first person to yell out "borpel!" wins the game.

3. Just once, in your entire chess career, you get to subtract 5 minutes from your opponent's clock.

I read these rules through once, carefully.  Then, on second perusal, when I got to Rule 2 again, I snorted so loud it scared my cat!  (Kudos! -- she's not easily frightened.) 

Figure out the rules of this game, then apply them...Good luck.

@ zazen, that is an old chinese game. the rules are to encircle the opponent's pieces and capture them. players take turns placing the beads onto the bored, and the first person to control over half the intersecting points wins

btw, white is winning in that position, but it isnt over by a long shot!

You can promote to a rook then put it and the king in a position ready to castle if O-O or O-O-O is available and castle next move unless you get checked or are moving into check even if you moved the king earlier

true. And I note some strange things happening at the 1-2 spot.

Sure!! ... Hey, wait Just a Minute, here.  Now I get it!  You're going to just yell "borpel" Right Away!!  OK, then.  This'll save us some time:  "I Resign... gg" :-)

They should yell BINGO instead of checkmate...seriously, let's start a petition.  Remember the 60's?

lol
