| The objective in Swedish Chess is checkmate. Pieces move as in orthodox chess. The pawns also move as in orthodox chess, but have no initial double move. As the pawns are all located on the third rank, they can reach the fourth rank immediately anyway. Castling doesn't exist. Promotion rules are the same as in orthodox chess. In the first phase the players take turns to drop pieces on the board, either behind the pawn chain, or on a friendly pawn. In the latter case the removed friendly pawn must immediately be relocated to another empty position, that is, somewhere on the second rank. The rooks must only be dropped on the first rank. The two bishops must be dropped on different colours. After all the pieces have been dropped the play begins. Swedish Chess is inspired by Burmese Chess. It was designed to solve the problem of opening monotony in orthodox chess. In Swedish Chess the en passant capture, the pawn's double step, and castling, are all redundant. (The name comes from the fact that the inventor is Swedish.) |
