I'm going to just copy and past the bulldog chess rules from here (posted by vickalan) to this thread. I hope that is all right
.
This has a few rules particular to this game, so here is the introduction and formal rules:
Bulldog Chess game between aidanB1 (White) and Fly-Eagles-Fly (Black)
The pieces:
Bulldog (D) - Moves and attacks the same as a pawn, except pieces FROM ITS OWN ARMY ONLY can pass over it in any direction. If a bull dog reaches the 8th rank it can immediately move to any square in the first four ranks (but cannot capture a piece during this move). This move can only be completed during the same move it reaches the 8th rank. (If this option is not taken, the right to do so later is forfeited). The bulldog does not promote to other pieces as pawns do.
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.
Board Setup:
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 guard.
Move notation for the bulldog is the same as for a pawn. For example a bulldog advancing to a3 is "a3" ("Da3" not necessary). If a bulldog reaches the 8th rank, his new deployment is noted with a slash followed by the square he moves to. For example, a bulldog reaching a8 and moving to g1 is "a8/g1".
New Rules for Guard Bulldog (Guard dog?) chess:
When a single pawn has moved three times it may instantly promote to guard. The player may choose not to promote the pawn, in which case the pawn will remain a pawn for the remainder of the game. Moves include captures, and moving a pawn two squares on its first move counts as a SINGLE move, not two. The pawn need not have been moved in three successive turns.
aidanB1 will play white. Good luck and have fun!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: Three days per move, warning after the second day.
