It's normal chess, except (apart from a few unique features; specifically, there is no stalemate, you can willingly move into check or stay in check, and the king must be outright captured to win) each player has a random disadvantage that their opponent is not aware of (unless you willingly disclose it). These disadvantages can range from mildly inconvenient, to making the game nearly unplayable and/or pretty much impossible to win.

Some of the "drawbacks" include:

  • You automatically lose if you have fewer pawns than your opponent does.
  • Your queen is effectively a second king; it moves like one, and you lose if it's captured.
  • You are occasionally forced to play the absolute worst move possible in the current position.
  • You cannot move the king when in check, or you can only move the king when in check.
  • You cannot put any piece on the e4, e5, d4, and d5 squares.
  • Your rooks cannot move, and you lose if they are both captured.
  • Your queen can only move like a bishop, and you can only promote to bishops.
  • Your queen can only move like a rook, and you can only promote to rooks.
  • If a certain square(s) is ever occupied by a piece, friendly or not, you automatically lose.
  • You cannot capture a piece that is of a greater material value than what you are capturing with.
  • You cannot capture your opponent's queen(s).
  • If a piece can make more than one capture, it cannot capture anything.

There's probably hundreds more, but I'm sure you get it.
