Chess72

This type of chess is based on the classic rules of chess, but has a number of original differences. The game is played with a standard set of chess pieces, on a standard chessboard. The game begins on an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on the board one by one until they have placed all of their pieces. Each player has the right to place their pieces on any square, with some exceptions: 1) you cannot place pawns on the opposite edge of the board. 2) you cannot checkmate or checkmate your opponent's king with your piece. 3) you cannot place bishops on squares of the same color. 4) when placing pieces, each piece is awarded points that correspond to the line on which the piece is placed. For example: if a player places a piece on line 5, then this piece is awarded 5 points. The sum of the points of all pieces of each player must not exceed 72 points! After all the pieces have been placed, the game begins according to the usual rules of chess, and this placement of pieces is the starting one for this game.

Cool idea, i think a good strategy would be to place your pawns on the 7th rank to promote them when the game starts.
