Let's say d4, d5 is moved. Can white now move to d5?
No, and I’m sorry I didn’t make it clear at the start. Moving on top of an opponent’s piece is considered a capturing move, so the pawn would have to move diagonally. Likewise, pawns can move forward, but not diagonally, onto a piece of their own color.
This chess variant sounds absolutely fascinating—it adds an entirely new layer of strategy with the stacking mechanic and the sweeping move! The ability to stack pieces, including kings, really challenges traditional tactics and encourages creative gameplay. The sudden death rule is a clever way to resolve tied situations, too. By the way, speaking of strategy games, I’ve been spending some time playing EA games recently, and it’s fun to see how different genres test your thinking. Have you tried this variant yourself yet? I’d love to hear about your experience! see more : https://fifamobilefc.com/
In this chess variant, pieces can move on top of each other, creating a “stack”. You can move a piece on top of one of your opponent’s pieces or one of your own pieces. All types of pieces can be in a stack, including the king. There is no limit to how many pieces can be in a stack, but only the topmost piece can move. Once it moves, it allows the next highest piece in the stack to move later, essentially “releasing” that piece. Moving a piece to one of your opponent’s pieces does not capture it, but instead adds your piece to the top of the stack on that square. To capture, you have a perform a move called a “sweep”, using one of your pieces. Any free piece can sweep, and it eliminates every piece under it in its stack, including your own pieces. However, sweeping uses up your turn. You can sweep a null set of pieces, effectively passing your turn if you are in zugzwang. Pieces that are in a stack but not on the top cannot do anything until they are released. Also, there is no check or checkmate, and you win by sweeping your opponent’s king. Pawns can technically move backward in this variant (if your opponent plays en passant, your captured pawn is “carried” to the square directly below it). It is possible for both kings to be sweeped at once, and if that happens, sudden death is incurred. In the sudden death round, the next player to sweep one of their opponent’s pieces wins. Castling and other rules are the same. One thing to note: If your opponent only has a king and no other pieces left, he cannot lose, because it will be stalemate before you get a chance to sweep his king.
