New Year's Eve Gift: Fischer Random Dice Chess

Participation: To play this variant against someone else, just say "sign up." The first two people to sign-up get to play a game of dice chess online.

Rules: Dice chess is a game where each player rolls a pair of ordinary six-sided dice to determine which piece they get to move. Since this game is played online, I will be rolling the dice. Here is a handy chart that should be used to identify which piece you get to move:

Since I am rolling a pair, you will get to decide which piece to move. For example, if I roll a three and a four, you can either move a bishop or a rook. 

Special Rules: To castle, I must roll a four, six, or double. An en passant move is only possible once someone rolls a 1 or double. A player in check must respond to the check using a piece rolled. If the player does not roll a legal response to the check, he/she is at risk of losing. A player who is not in check but has no legal moves with either of the pieces can play whatever legal move he/she wants.

Rule Changes: Capturing the king is possible when your opponent can't respond to check. Castling out of check is also possible, but the same rules apply when your opponent checks you again. 

960 Rule Changes: Once both players have signed up, a player must give me a number between 0 and 959. That number will determine the starting position for both players. Castling will be the same as in regular 960 chess. 

Please read the rules carefully, especially the special rules. If you have any questions, I will respond to them quickly. It is recommended that you read this article before signing up.

Here is the 960 chess position:

@Sammy_Thechessboy will be white and @TheKnightGeorge will be black. The time control is 3 days per move with no vacation time. After 3 days, a timeout warning may be called. A player has only 24 hours to respond to a timeout warning. This is the fischer random variation of the popular "Dice Chess Online." 

What dice number did you roll?

Oh yes, I forgot. (3, 6)= (Bishop, King). White to move. If you can't move a piece or pawn, play anything you want

d4 (I couldn't play anything within the dice)

You could castle in this position. However, I’ll let it slide since that’s not so easy to find.

Oh sorry I didn't see that I could castle

(1, 1)= (Double). Black to move

Timeout warning to @TheKnightGeorge

@TheKnightGeorge has been focusing on school, not chess. As much as I want to cancel my timeout warning, I cannot. Playing a game in this thread requires that you follow this forum. If you know you’re going on break soon, don’t sign-up. @Sammy_Thechessboy wins by forfeit.

could I play again with a different person who signs up?

Yes, you can. The next person to sign-up plays you.

Can I play?

OK, so @NobleElevator (white) plays @Sammy_Thechessboy (black)

Time control- The time control is 3 days per move with no vacation time. After 3 days, a timeout warning may be called. A player has only 24 hours to respond to a timeout warning. This is the Fischer random variation of the popular "Dice Chess Online."
