This Chess Variant is inspired by the notion of when the President is threatened the Secret Service are supposed to jump in front of him to take the bullet while pushing him to safety. Whenever the King is threatened (in check) if there are any of the player's pieces that could normally reach the square occupied by the King, then the King and the other piece must switch places. Simply move the King to space occupied by the other piece. A Pawn can only switch places with the King in a straight forward, non-attacking move. A Pawn can not switch places with the King if it would cause the Pawn to promote. There is no castling or En Passant. Other than this, normal Chess rules apply. |
