so if a player is in check and has no legal moves after the dice are rolled, it's checkmate?

When your opponent cannot respond to check using the dice that are rolled, the other player has the opportunity to capture the king (if he rolls right, of course.)

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.
Please read the rules carefully, especially the special rules. If you have any questions, I will respond to them quickly.
Time Control: 3 days to move. After 3 days, you may call out a timeout warning. You got 24 hours to respond after a timeout warning. There is no limit to timeout warnings, but they can only be played after 3 days. No vacation time.
