New Variant Suggestion: Equality

Sort:
TheUltraTrap

This is simple: There is no royal piece. The king is equal to all other pieces and the game ends when every piece is captured, like in horde

sfxe

too many draws

Theoretically busted because it will be impossible to capture queens and rooks, and 99.8% of games will end in draws.

No single normal opponent will blunder so much three times in a single game.

TheUltraTrap

Ok, you are right!

But what about changing the rule a little.

Let's create an insufficient material rule so in q vs. r the one that haves queen wins

HerakIes

Imagine Q v Q

HerakIes

Imagine 

Q v N 

Q v B

Q v K

K v Q

K v N

K v R

etc

TheUltraTrap

If the pieces have the same value there is a draw.

So, equal pieces or N B K, that have the same value.
