My generation had to take a drink every time the name "Bob" was said on The Bob Newhart Show. At the end of the show no one cared about chess.
What a great generation!!
P.S. Bob Newhart Finally won his first individual Emmy last night! (Bottoms up!)
Yes the greatest generation! Crap and I missed his award :(
As the game starts, a green rook stands exactly on e4.
The rook acts as a block. Nobody except a knight can jump over it - it cuts the lines of pieces. It can never be captured. It captures nothing and does not give check.
Either player, in his move, can choose to move the green rook. It moves like any rook.
A player may not move the green rook in such a way as will undo his opponent previous move! eg if I play green rook e4 to h4, you cannot answer me on your next move, green rook h4 to e4. You can move it anywhere else, or wait for another move, and then put it on e4 if the move is still legal.
No pawn can promote to a second green rook, though. One such barrier is enough. A very old idea of mine, which is nice to tell over these pages. Haven't told many people about it yet..
that is really a good idea! A good idea would also be to allow the king to be put in danger by it's player if by taking the king the other player loses his own king. Don't know if it would be as fun as now, but it may be interesting to try...
I plan to try All these variations! Just as soon as I master the old-fashioned game. So give me a month or two. Maybe three.
you can promote a pawn to a pawn
and move it back the board again?
That's it! Extra Dimensions! Three-Dimensional Chess! -- oh, wait. Spock and Kirk ... they already ...... uh ....... never mind. (Forgot my audience.)
Didn't read through all these posts, so sorry if this is a repeat.
Play on a 10x10 board, with the pieces set up normally in the center 8x8 squares.
Only Knights can move to the outside squares (the boarder around the regular board).
Any other piece can capture a knight on one of the outside squares (only way for a non-knight to get to them).
It would give the Knights an extra dimension without changing too many rules.
So if the outer row around the board is safe, that would be interesting!
chess sport: If you do not say good luck before the game,you have to play with half of your peices gone.(you chouse witch side)
10 no recapture: If you recapture in the biginning 10 moves,your oppenent gets 10 moves free.
Here's a rule that I propose: due to the recent increase in cheating in WGM games, in the future all WGMs will have to play nude, so that it is harder for them to cheat.
lol
Just not durning the flu season.
Chess with Shogi Rules: Repetition is not allowed, (no 3 fold repetition draws), drops (like Crazyhouse/Bughouse), and Rook & Bishop promotion to rook+king and bishop+king compounds.
Also, add this from Chinese Chess: The kings cannot be facing each other in the same column.
The first 8 moves have to be pawn moves. If, within the first eight moves, someone cannot make any more pawn moves, then they lose, unless their opponent also cannot make any more pawn moves on their next move, in which case it is a draw.
The piece you're trying to checkmate is dependent on the current reigning monarch of Great Britain. Because Great Britain's monarch is a queen, Queen Elizabeth II, then the queen is the piece you're trying to checkmate. However, when a male becomes the reigning monarch of Great Britain, then the king is the piece you're trying to checkmate.
XD that would be good.
wat about that whenever you put a knight on the side, you have to write " a knight on the rim is grim" 30 times bfore your oppontent moves or else you will be forced to resign
How about if your king gets to the other side of the board he's given a horse to ride, so he can move like a knight aswell as his usual move
Lol, as long as the horse gets neutered it's ok.

lol -- And you make a good point: geldings are much more docile than stallions. Stallions would be galloping all over the board and jumping the Queen! (See Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I, in which "It's Good to be the King.")

Lol, everytime that movie and scene is on, everyone watching agrees, that it is good to be the king!
"Your Majesty, the peasants are revolting!"
"You Said it -- they stink on ice!"
(It's like Molière brought back to life, n'est pas?)
Hey! How about combining chess with pretentious intellectual name-dropping trivia? French philosophers category: Pawns can move up Three spaces if you mention Rousseau or Descartes, or Four for Diderot!
