Object: capturing ALL of the opponent's Kings.
All of the rules of regular Chess apply EXCEPT for the following: - Pawns move forward ANY number of empty squares but they are not allowed to pass thru a square under attack by an enemy pawn.
- Pawns capture just as in regular Chess, except there is NO en-passant capture.
- Upon reaching the last rank, Pawns must promote to a King (no other choice allowed).
- There is NO checkmate or stalemate - Kings can move to squares under attack and can be captured like any other piece.
- There is NO castling.
You win by capturing ALL of the opponent's Kings.
Two Kings vs One King is a forced win.
Included is a random-start variant: the pieces on the first/eighth rank are shuffled before actual play starts).
Super-Chess was designed by Robert A. Kraus sometime during the 1970's with the idea of speeding up pawn moves and eliminating all silly, disgusting, and artificial rules. (Silly: Check and Checkmate; Disgusting: Stalemate a Draw instead of a Loss; Artificial: Castling, En-passant capture, Minor promotions.) The promotion to Kings instead of Queens compensates for the greater chances of promoting a Pawn. |
