HI guyzzzzz,,, new variant: Royalty Transfer chess

Sort:
xzvcnx

ok, uve seen a lot of new variant suggestions. 

But here is my idea (well, one I saw on another chess website)

So, there is two kings. But at a time, only one of them can be active. An active king needs to be :

Closer to the h-file
If they are on the same file, closer to the back rank

If they move in a way as the non-active king and the active ones exchange roles, they cannot get into check. Castling is available for both kings, both sides.

When an active king is in check, the inactive king can become active so the position is legal

-1 if u don't like, +1 if u do.

Let me no if u have ne qs.

@qfcbv thanks

Extra rules:

Both kings do not have to go in check. If the opposing player checkmates the active king, and there is no way to make it inactive, then that player wins.

Probably favee non-chess.com chess variant lol

so if one king gets taken the other can still continue the game? like sparta, greece??

If the inactive king gets taken, and it can, the other king is permanently active.

I kinda like it but make the name shorter, Royalty Transfer just doesn't have that ring to it, ya know?

You have Antichess, KOTH, 3-Check, Torpedo, and all these other variants but Royalty Transfer is just kinda too long.

If the INACTIVE king gets TAKEN, the other is permanently active, but can continue. If the ACTIVE king gets CHECKMATED, that king's player loses.

Looks very very fun!

Also, if you come with a rook or queen to the h file, closer to the back rank than the active king is and both kings are on that file it will be skewermate right? We need to consider that expression, cause it is not a direct checkmate, is because the rush would cause a royalty transfer. So it's a skewer that mates. If the inactive king is in check and you forever the active king to make the inactive one active, or you dork and force it, it is forcemate or forkmate.

So many things to explore.

If the Inactive king is in check, white doesn't have to get out of it, although he usually should.

Also, pawns can promote to king.
