Sounds awesome. I wouldn't play too conservatively in a game like that!

... or something off the barbie if your Christmas is down under.

Ice chess. The board is completely covered in ice, so when you move a piece to a square it keeps on sliding until it hits something. Knights, pawns, and pieces making captures don't slide.
A big Happy Holidays to you all. Do any of you know any special holiday chess variants for this time of the year?
