Gardner's Nightmare

In 1969, Martin Gardner suggested a chess variant on 5×5 board in which all chess moves, including pawn double-move, en-passant capture as well as castling can be made.

Mehdi Mhalla and Frederic Prost weakly solved Gardner minichess in 2013 and proved the game-theoretic value to be a draw. Gardner minichess was also played by AISE  (Associazione Italiana Scacchi Eterodossi, "Italian Heterodox Chess Association") with suicide chess and progressive chess rules. 

If the goal of any variation of minichess is to make the game easier and shorter than standard chess, then I have just the opposite.

Using the following initial setup, we will experiment with the geometry of the board and the interaction of the pieces on it.

To run this idea, I organized several Vote Chess games. Let's see how simple chess players can adequately respond to the challenges that this game poses.

Nice 

Thank you! I sent a challenge to your club. Let's have fun!
