In bughouse chess, there are 2 teams of 2 players. And 2 boards, too. Teammates play on separate boards and opposite colors. When you capture a piece, it goes into your teammate's storehouse.Your teammate can, instead of making a normal move, put a piece on the board from the storehouse. Pieces can only be placed on vacant squares. Pawns may not be placed on the first and last rank. If a promoted pawn is captured, it becomes a pawn in the storehouse. The game ends as soon as anybody gets checkmated. So even if you are about to lose in one turn, but your teammate checkmates his/her opponent your team wins. The game will start as soon as we have 4 players ready to go. Post your move using algebraic notation. When placing a piece from the storehouse, use the @ symbol in your notation. For example to place a knight from the store house on d6, type N@d6. When I see a move posted I will update and flip the diagram. Also, the games are not simultaneous. Board A can be on move 20 while board B is on move 2. Please post something when you join so that I know. Make sure you track this topic so that you know when it is your move. Have fun!

I'm putting you guys against eachother this time to mix it up a bit so it's more interesting. But if you want to be on a team again, just tell me.
can i join
You don't need to ask. Anyone can join.
ill play
We need one moer player
I am interested, but given my next week's access to the Internet is iffy, I will wait until the next round... Bughouse is one of those games that is better at a fast pace :)
please join, we have been waiting for a long time for players, and there is no time limit.
In this case we are playing correspondence bughouse. I know it sounds a bit weird, but it's still fun. The strategy is different from blitz bughouse though.
Count me in too. :)
All right! The game starts now!
Jagdeep: you are playing white on board B and your partner is awesmond
