I don't see how 1x1 bughouse would work

'Opponent should play on the same board where the other player did the turn' ... would it not result in all the moves being made on the same board, and none on the other board?  Or it would give too much advantage to the first player, who gets to decide which board on every turn in the game.

Maybe this rule: If you do a capture then the other player decides which board is next. 

Or maybe this rule: If you place a piece from off the board onto the board then the other player decides which board is next.

1 v 1 bughouse seems pretty simple to me. At the start, you each push one button and the other guy's clock starts running on one board. You move on the board where it's your turn and push the clock. Your opponent has presumably done the same on the other board so you go over there and make your move. Then you go back to the first board and do the same again. It's just like playing a two-board simul for each of you.

I should say, the rules for how it works are pretty simple. Actually playing it, not so much Laughing

I thinking what: player do turn in first board, opponent do turn on first board, after player do turn in second board, opponent do turn on second board. 

Or one do turn on both board, after turn both boards opponent.

Wait. I also thinked about kingchess. 

Kingchess are Russian chess-based game. 

True name: Кингчесс. This name reformatted to english Kingchess.

And... I think about Bughouse kingchess, but with difference, where reserves of every players are unified. Kingchess reserve and bughouse reserves have same rules for placement.

According to acterhd's link, Kingchess works like this: The board starts empty, each player starts with a full set of pieces off the board. On each turn, a player may either make a move or place any number of his remaining pieces on the board. Each player is required to place his king his first turn. Also, each player may only place on his own half of the board. You may only place one bishop on each color. You can still castle if the king and rook are placed appropriately, and a pawn on the second row (the first row, of course, is illegal) can still move two squares on its first move.

I had never heard of Kingchess before either, but I can read the Russian page Smile I personally like regular chess, it's more than complicated enough for me. Just out of curiosity, do you consider final wars a chess variant or a separate though related game?

By the way, you could set your final wars site as your website in your profile, that creates a link at the top of your profile which means people can go there with one click rather than needing to copy and paste.

It seems you're right, at least I can't figure out how to do it. So I guess that won't work, sorry.

Your previous post about variants is not at all unreasonable Smile Final wars does seem like a better attempt to avoid computer theory than Chess960 which I hate.

Well, not many persons are interested in variants, and perhaps even less than average so on a website for orthodox Chess. On chessvariants.org it is much more likely that you would get any feedback.
