[Red Won!] Chess, but you can ONLY make illegal moves.

The game has concluded - Red (@l0lg) has won!

By resignation


(The game has started - Good luck!)

 

After playing a variant here, I decided to make my own. I was honestly just curious to see what would happen. 

The pieces ONLY move in illegal ways. Except for checks, captures, escaping check, promotion, and King moves, any of your pieces, other than Kings, can move to any square EXCEPT for the squares they could normally move to. 

I’m using the same regulation rules as @evert823, because I don’t actually know what I’m doing here, this is my first time. 3 days per move.

Note: this is NOT one of those AnarchyChess things, this is going to be a real game. (I’m not saying you can do literally anything like in the AnarchyChess post.) 

The first player to checkmate the other side, wins.

Will this be complete chaos, or an actual strategic game? Let’s find out… 

 

(The game has started - Good luck!)


Players

@l0lg - Red (functionally similar to white)

I would like to join. I would prefer the colour dark red if possible, but I don’t mind either black or white.
Max1679
Same but red but red and yellow for china

@l0lg / @Max1679, firstly, thank you for joining!

I think I can make those custom colors work...

GraysonKellogg

Alright, if that's okay, we'll go ahead and start tomorrow (June 13th, 2025). 

The time control is 3 days per move, but responding faster is fine and encouraged. If a move is not allowed, you can try again with another move.

If you have any questions about the rules, feel free to ask at any time before or during the game.

I wish you two the best of luck!

By request, @l0lg is playing Red, and @Max1679 is playing Yellow.

Get ready... the game will begin tomorrow!

GraysonKellogg

The game has begun! I'm very excited to see how this will turn out! 

@l0lg, please start us off with your move, and the first move of the whole game!


(To send your move, please do *not* notate with regular notation (for example, Na4), since it would not specify which piece moved. Instead, please notate with the starting and ending squares. One possible way to do this is “g1-a4”, though there many other ways to do it, if you want.)

evert823

Just wait, we can make a legal move, you'll say that it's illegal to make legal moves and we'll say that that's why we make that move LOL

l0lg

Okay, that's fine!

GraysonKellogg

By the way, there's only one queen on the board, so I know which one to move, but please write your moves here in the format "start-end" (So your move would be d1-e3.) Just letting you know!

GraysonKellogg

Red has made their first move!

@Max1769, it's your turn, and your clock has started! What will you do?

Wait what site is this on?

GraysonKellogg
@HonestHufflepuff, what do you mean?
HonestHufflepuff

Is the image like on a site? If so, what is the site?

GraysonKellogg
I put this together myself on Google Slides, it isn’t a pre-made website.
l0lg

When will @Max1679 make their move?

GraysonKellogg
They have three days. But, hopefully they’ll go faster.
