New variant: Weak Dual chess

xzvcnx

two kings. win by defeating both. when a king is checkmated, it is gone from the board.

same rules of chess apply, except:

  • pawns can promote to king, but no matter how many kings there are on the board, the opposing player has to defeat all of them.
  • castling works both ways, but castling with both kings you need to castle on the shorter side.

hmm so no queen?

I agree, no queens but the bishop pair. And of course the horses are stallions for complete gayness. I like the idea though; this seems playable.
Maybe rooks should be empresses. If kings can protect one another, it seems we need another more versatile checkmating piece.

in the long run, this is boring to me

no no no no no, while the original idea is rather interesting, this is just stupid, cause the first move you can only capture, any other move is either impossible or really bad, and since white starts first white definitely can lead black by the tip of the nose, as well as it will be like a sequence of captures that either ends in a stupid king to king chase, where unless there is still a queen, it will be a crappy draw, or a complete wipeout of black, and look more at your game, the qeens can only capture forward to avoid placing king in check, and to take that attacking queen you neet to use king since any other move will open to a check wich is rather boring, and that will go on until there either queens are gone, or one ar two are left wich also will be stupid since it will be check, move, check ,move rinse and repeat until draw by 50 move rule
