I think it's stalemating your opponent is a win. Otherwise it's a race to turn your pieces into stone.
Petrified rules
Sort:
Ohh tysm @Fourthwallbreak tht makes sense.
I thought it meant you win by getting stalemated like in antichess.
No, it's at LEAST petrified where stalemate is victory for whoever forced it.
Interesting variant choice lol
Earlier today @kselz and I were trying some random variants for the first time, and we chose rapid petrified for one game.
If you look at the rules on chess.com, you can see that a stalemate is a win:
I was playing as black and I stalemated, but for some reason I lost the game and chess.com said it's 1-0.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? I'm so confused about how I lost.
