Idea - Yeet chess

Sort:
16characterslong

While trying to sleep the other day I stumbled upon this stupid idea. I need to get it out of my system though, so bear with me here (or don't).

So about everything is the same as in regular chess.

Castling isn't allowed.

Instead of castling, the king gets a one-time move where it can be placed on any square in the opposite half of the board (5th rank and beyond for white, 4th rank and beyond for black), provided that given square isn't full, or controlled by an enemy piece.

Once you move the king you lose your yeeting rights.

It's mandatory to say "yeet" when making this move, failure to comply results in immediate loss of the game.

That's about it, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I see those long nights of drunken Bughouse are starting to pay off.

Oh those are rewards unto themselves.

As a matter of fact this is an interesting idea.

 

But then without the obligation to say "yeet" - that's more for the 'long nights'.
