aabbccdd and I have played a variant of chess called Bughouse Chess in another group before, and I would like to introduce it to this group. The rules are:

#1 4 players and 2 boards, with 2 teams. The boards are set up like this:

#2 Every time a piece is captured, the capturer of that piece gives it to his partner (the other member of the team, on the other board). The partner can then drop it anywhere on his move to make his move.

#3 No dropping pawns on the 1st or 8th ranks, and dropping pieces must land on a blank square.

#4 If one board has a checkmate on it, the loser on that board loses the whole game for the team. Only one board needs to have mate on it for the game to be determined.

#5 Ratings begin at 1200. kid_of_chess is rated at 1220, and I am rated at 1220 also. If you win or lose, the point difference between the two ratings is divided by 20 and added or subracted from your rating. If the other person is the same rating as you, then 20 is added or subracted. Drawn games will equal both ratings being added, divided by two, and becoming the new rating of the player (A 1180 player drawing against a 1220 rated player will make both players' ratings 1200).
