If you play 0-0, opponent can't play 0-0 in this game. And with long castling too

It's opposite side castling.

Is creating new variants available now? I didn't find it on the website.

Anyway, I would like to propose a variant which to me resembles a true "war" between two factions in an open plain. In this variant, it seems logical and interesting that you:

  • have vision only where your pieces can go to
  • can "sacrifice" your pieces however you want
  • don't know how the opponent starts their battle

Hence, I suggest the following variants to be combined:

  • Fog of War (you have limited vision)
  • Capture Anything (you can capture your own pieces)
  • Chess 960 (you don't know how the player starts their battle). Alternatively, each player can decide how to place its pieces (not pawns) on the back rank at the start of the fight

The rest of rules stays the same as standard chess.

I feel like this variant could be very exciting and entairtaining.  
What do you think about it?

Are players from London naturally better at Fog of War?

Avatar of jose-vch

Avatar of matovejcaj

Is there a variant where if you can capture a piece you need to take it?

Pawns and kings only to start. Variant could be titled "mob rule."

Also a mode where the king could be taken like any other piece, thus ending the game.

what do you think about to replace knights with archbishops, bishops with chancellors and rooks with queens in XXL? add torpedo rule? this could sharpen the game from the first moves, enrich tactically and make it more dynamic

I'd quite like to see a combination of Fog of War and King Of The Hill.

If a player gets their king into the middle 4 squares they win if it is not immediately captured. But if it is immediately captured they lose.
