Here's a funny but interesting idea for a chess game if anyone wants to participate I'd like to analyze the game.  Basically you start out a game and make your opponents move in chat screen.  you tell your opponent what move he/she should make in the hopes of losing the game for your opponent.  The person who succeeds in losing the chess game will actually win for their side.  Backwards chess so to speak.  The only problem i'd see in this type of game would be whether each side would honor the move the opponent suggested.  

i sould be able to do that with my brother. that will be interesting. ill let you know

I'm up for it...although I'm not sure my therapist will be

We should try that on our next game!

I'd say unrated games are definitely the way to go with these, but it's really up to whoever feels the need to play it and whether they can trust their opponent.  

This is not new, it is called suicide chess. :)

really suicide chess, is there rules for it?  It just came to me when I was thinking, boy I wish I could get such and such to move his queen here

lochness88, it's completely different from suicide chess.

I recall seeing (maybe on the forums here) a game where someone forced their opponent to win. The game was played under the normal rules of moving your own pieces, but the objective was to get checkmated. It was rather interesting.

I just looked up suicide chess on google, it sounds interesting, but thats predicated on making your own moves, my idea was telling your opponent where to move in order to help your own side.  slightly different, similiar concept though

In My country (mexico) these "chess variation" is called: "Espartaco" and is a funny game... The chess variations are very interesting, and very strongly and complicated, by the oponnents should be carreful in the moves... and your King are exposed all game!!!

Greetins from mexico..

I think if you phrase it differently it will come across easier. You are suggesting a variant where the object of the game is to get checkmated rather than checkmate your opponent.

(Moving your own pieces and trying to get checkmated is equivalent to moving your opponent's pieces and trying to checkmate him.)

I don't get it. It will just be the same game just with different colors. And our opponent is making your move that's all

sebas4life, the object of the game is reversed. You are trying to get the pieces you move checkmated. This is the opposite of checkmating the pieces you aren't moving (which is typical chess).

we Filipinos call it "pierde gana". pierde means lose, gana wins. sometimes          we use this rule on our board game called "Dama". it's not that easy but it's fun.
