dear folks

its been a long time since i found a player interested in antiches nor i found any discussion on anti chess in last one year since i became member of chess.com

is there anybody interested in antichess? is there any site where one can play anti chess?

What is anitchess?

Antichess I believe is a variation of Chess where the object of the game is to lose all of your pieces because the opponent 'must' capture if possible (like checkers).  I might be mistaken though.

well its a variation of chess where you play to loose all your pieces incl your king. if you have lost all your pieces you win. in case of stalemate also you win.

the biggest catch in this is if you are cutting a piece of your opponent you have to cut it. if you are cutting more than one then you can choose which one to cut.

when your pawn reaches the 8th rank your opponent decide which piece it will promote to.

you are right AMcHarg

They call this suicide on FICS and quite a few people play it I think.  Check out http://www.freechess.org.

this is not at all interesting, at least for me..

Yeah, commonly known as Suicide.

You'll see it on most blitz servers, like FICS, and maybe ICC, but not on many corrospondence sites.

Well come to think of it , thats how I have been playing all along.  Suicidal and to lose( although not intentional)!!

I *LOVE* suicide chess!  Fun game to play!  All the best, in chess! 

Yep, it is indeed called Sucide Chess, try SchemingMinds for the play many Chess variants, yo!

Attack!  Kill or be killed!    Keep playing for fun!

no it is about antichess

Loser's as well.  In Suicide, you lose the K.  In Loser's,  you have to sac all but the K. :)

It would probably be a great party game with those shooter glass chess sets I've seen. Top up the pieces with absinthe and scotch and get the party started LOL

You can play a lot of chess variants (including suicide chess) on http://www.schemingmind.com

ive never heard of antichess - i think its correctly called Suicide or Losers - in suicide the object is to get checkmate or be left with just your king ~ and losers the object is to lose all your pieces

In both games if you can take a piece you are forced - thus pieces like the bishop and rook are horrid pieces that should be given up as soon as possible otherwise they will destroy you

well i had always known them as antichess.

thanks for your useful info
