New Variant

Sort:

Make a Variant in chess. The rules would be something like this: Two people play. All the rules of normal chess are kept. There are two chess boards, each player has to play two games at once! The time on both boards does not stop, so each player has to be alert and not just focus on one of them! I think this could be pretty fun, and challenging! 

I made this up, do you think you could make it?

so basically 4 player chess self partner but split onto two boards

what happens if one guy wins on one board and loses on the other? or does the game end as soon as one guy wins on one board? that would make for some annoying situations where your opponent stalls out on one board when they're about to get mated and they might beat you on the other board because you have no time to stall back

Hmmm, you are really good at this. I will think about it. We could make it so that Each board is like a separate game, so if you win one and lose one, it just gives you -somethingpoints and +somethingpoints, making their rating stay the same, unless they were playing lower or higher rated opponents.

As for the stalling... Im not sure. Thats a tough one.

phillip100

Wait, I go it! You have two boards, lets name them 1 and 2, you HAVE to move 1 first, then 2, then 1 again, and so on. You can't stall on one and play the other.

I see... but isn't that the point?

Stalling isn't an issue if both games have to finish.

I guess it isn't, because they would timeout at some point.

This mode has been made asked before, stop acting like it's yours sad.png I'm tired of stupid and un-unique variants. Copying should not be allowed sad.png

Wait, when?

phillip100

And stop being so mean, I didn't know it was already made, and I made it up myself.
