This will be interesting. I have wanted to play with the dwarf myself. I will be watching.

This is a Bulldog Chess game between HorusTheThird and rychessmaster1.
Game rules:
Board: 10 x 8 (see image below).
The pieces:
Dwarf (D) - Moves and captures like a king (but not royal). The dwarf can only be captured when it is attacked by two or more pieces. One of the attacking pieces is allowed to be pinned on the king. But a piece does not count as a second attack if it is blocked by another attacking piece.
Hunter (H) - Moves as king when it does not capture. However it captures twelve squares as shown in diagram below:
Board Setup:
Note the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess. This is so the dwarf and hunter are equal distance to each player's king and queen.
Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess, however, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and the involved rook must be unoccupied.
Misc: Pawns play the same as in classical chess. Pawns can promote to queen, rook, bishop, knight in addition to dwarf and hunter. Promotions are unlimited (not restricted to pieces that have been captured).
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
