Suggested time control: I really don't care about this, let's say 5|0
Description: Villagers chess is a conceptual degraded version of Fide chess intended to be fun and easy. It's construction is based on the method of replacing every piece of fide by one of immediate less value. Though I bypassed the fact that a ferz values less than a knight and more than a general, the game resulted catching and people likes it.

2-Player Game,Play-for-Mate,Custom Position, Fairy Pieces, Pawns promoto to a Rook, Bishop, Knight, King on the 11th rank
Notes: The game has a limited strategy but can be really hard, because of the weakness of the pieces every error is valuated much more. The Chief (royal pawn) can be checkmated by a single rook in less than 4 moves if not prevented, otherwise It could last as long as the opponent can stand. The game could be even more amusing if the engine enabled the chief to castle with the bishop. A blunder that I made configuring this position was the transposition of the chief and the rook because I'm dislexic and 4pc also is.

A doubt I have do I hace to win my own games in order to be rated? I hope not...
