i'm thinking about starting a suicide chess tournament. ...

in which one gives away pieces vs keeping them  (similar to chess you have to take what is offered)  .. it could be a very interesting "strategic" experiment.

So the first guy down to just a king would win? Thats my normal strategy. It can finally pay off!!

If you did want to try that I'd play.

Is it unrated?

In true suicide chess, the king is just a normal piece.

cuont me in

should be great

sounds kind of fun!

Sounds interesting...

I have heard of this type of chess. I think it originated in Russia...

Anyway, it sounds awesome.(I might have a slight advantage, for I have played it before;))

I would be willing to play

I'll play.....it's also available on most apple macs

lol just make sure that it's an unrated tournament

Oh, what you call "suicide chess" is just "giveaway chess", I've seen that wild variation in the ICC (Internet Chess Club). You are forced to capture the first enemy piece to oppose yours, but, are there draws in that variant? If there are, what are the rukes for a draw? That is not standard chess, after all.

N.B.- Giveaway chess is called "Regaladrez" in Spanish, ever since since the ICC software is published in both English & Spanish.

Has somebody played Atomic chess?  That variant is a kind of terrorist chess.

not a new idea, it has been done before, suicide chess is not a new idea either.

bug is the best variant imo

not my case :/

How do you plan to implement it? It cant be done with chess.com server rules. Cos behaviour of King is very different in Suicide! I dont think you can play it on chess.com unless and until the variant is Implemented on the server by the chess.com team. 

In suicide chess there is no such thing as check. Whereas acc to chess.com rules you WILL HAVE to move the king in case it is under check. Also in suicide capture is compulsory , that rule also isnt there on chess.com

Wouldn't be the first time:
