Invented and re-invented over the centuries by many people (including Derek Nalls in March, 2003).
This game was designed to minimize the first-move advantage by white, maximize fairness, abolish unnecessary, complex special moves and rules while preserving the familiarity and symmetries of the standard game. It is the best possible, future revision to chess. It is distinct from standard FIDE Chess in 4 important ways: - Pawns may not perform an initial 2-step move.
- There is no castling move.
- The game shall proceed until one or both kings have been captured when
both players have made the same number of moves. Capture your opponent's king without reciprocity on the same move to win. If both kings are captured, the game is a draw. - The game can be lost by leading a 3-fold repetition.
So, keep the game making progress. |
