Scope of answers: everyone


If you have played Warui-shogi, comment your feeling while playing, and (maybe) comment your ideas to make the variant better. If you haven't, you can play it here.


What if we calculate random things, just for fun? Maybe a top-10 leaderboard?

and promoting can be to any piece on the board not just the king

If you read the reasons we accepted this variant on the variants.world submission (https://variants.world/posts/137), promotion to king is one of them specifically because this variant is crazyhouse. If we had promotion to something even like rook then the game would be too promotion oriented and less about positional play.

That's impressive...

It’s a really interesting variant, especially because the pawn structures are different. Every time I played it, I have to resist thinking that my pawns are defended diagonally when they aren’t. lol

I'm thinking it could have some good play, but I can't figure it out and I don't like it.

Interestingly, your favorite variant Villagers Chess uses many of the same concepts as this one happy.png

The next variants craze started not by Duck or Spell Chess, but an NCV?? Hopefully they do more videos on this
