Pacifist chess

Replace rooks with dames, knights with bishops.

That does not contribute to this whatsoever. This forum is not entitled "endgame mathematics" or "endgame basis" or "endgame variations". I am simply introducing a new variant of chess I came up with called "pacifist chess". Please comment on that.

Them Dames look suspiciously like queens...

An interesting idea though

AutisticCath

Another word the queen is commonly referred to as is a "dame". I use that term here to avoid confusions concerning polygamy.

This is how I've seen that.

Riiighhhtt....

It's not exactly a pacifist version, just different persons do the killing

AutisticCath

No. The king is still a king. The king is advised by ladies known as dames.

To me this sounds like: Replace your rooks with vampires, backstabbers and sluggers. Very pacifistic indeed...hmmm.

Nothing pacifist about that, it was a massacre. Bloody fragments of bishops and ladies scattered around all over the place.
