Also apologies if this goes against forum tos, I really wanted to get this idea out there and I didn’t know where to post it other than here
MINE CHESS an idea
Sort:
I think its interesting. Though maybe you should only blow up if you land on it and not if you just move across it. Also you should still be able to promote to a queen if your original queen is blown up, because in regular chess you are allowed to have infinite queens as long as you promote all those pawns.
What is if you doesn’t use mines instead of traps which forbid the figures moving for two moves?
1. Pawns can still promote to a queen if you already have a queen. You can have 9 queens a at once if all your pawns promote. Why should they not promote if your queen dies?
2. You should be able to see the mines you placed, so it isn’t a memory game. Also, that way, it would work OTB without a third person.

So I had an idea and I hope one of the mods of this site actually makes this. I have no clue of somthing like this exists already. MINE CHESS, players can place up to 3 -5 mines on the board at the very beginning of the game. Mines can only be placed from rows 3-6 and you must remember them because they’ll be hidden. Queens, bishops, rooks and pawns who are able to travel in a straight line WILL be hit with any mines in said line (knights are excluded in this rule because they’re able to jump over pieces making the knight jump and not travel) l. In the case of there being 2 they hit, the first one will go off and kill them while the second one stays. When in checkmate the player MUST capture the king. This is in order to have those mine clutch moments. You can be hit with your own mine which will kill the peice. When a piece gets killed with a mine, they are not captured, this means that if your queen dies a pawn cannot be promoted to one because the queen is dead and not captured.
Feel free to leave any suggestions with how the rules should be changed, I didn’t really think of much balancing because I was cooking while coming up with this.
