    Review of two player chess::directions on how to play chess








    Chess               is               a               great               game,               but               even               your               favorite               activities               can               get               repetitive               after               a               while.

    Here               are               seven               great               variants               on               chess               that               can               be               played               with               the               board               and               pieces               you               already               have.

    Bughouse
                   Bughouse               is               one               of               the               world's               most               popular               chess               variants,               and               requires               four               players               and               two               chess               boards               and               sets.

    Take               your               four               players               and               divide               them               into               two               teams               of               two               -               one               good               idea               is               to               pair               the               strongest               player               with               the               weakest,               in               an               attempt               to               even               out               the               teams.

    Setup               the               two               boards               and               sets               next               to               each               other,               with               each               team               having               one               player               who               plays               white,               while               the               other               plays               black.

    Each               game               should               also               be               played               with               a               chess               clock;               each               player               should               have               a               short               amount               of               time               to               play,               usually               three               or               five               minutes.
                   Both               clocks               should               be               started               at               the               same               time,               and               both               games               should               begin               as               in               normal               chess.

    Any               checkmate,               resignation               or               flag               fall               ends               the               game.

    Here's               the               twist:               when               you               capture               one               of               your               opponent's               pieces,               you               pass               it               to               your               partner.

    On               your               move,               you               may               either               make               a               legal               chess               move,               or               you               may               place               one               of               the               pieces               your               partner               has               captured               for               you               on               your               board!

    This               adds               a               whole               new               layer               of               strategy,               and               team               communication               becomes               critical.

    Stalling               can               also               be               a               strategic               option;               sometimes               you               may               lose               if               you               make               another               move,               but               if               your               partner               can               play               fast               enough,               you               can               stall               and               still               win               before               you               run               out               of               time.
                   To               keep               the               game               fair,               remember               that               all               players               should               have               the               captured               pieces               available               to               them               in               plain               sight,               so               their               opponents               may               see               what               options               they               have.

    Also,               keep               in               mind               the               one               restriction               on               placing               pieces:               pawns               cannot               be               placed               on               the               first               or               eighth               ranks.

    Other               than               that,               be               creative,               and               remember               to               talk               to               your               teammate!

    This               game               is               also               possible               for               six               players               with               three               boards               and               sets.
                   Crazyhouse
                   Crazyhouse               is               similar               to               bughouse,               but               for               just               two               players.

    You               will               still               need               two               sets,               but               just               one               board.

    Like               in               bughouse,               when               you               capture               a               piece,               you               can               now               place               it               in               play               for               your               army;               simply               use               a               second               set               to               get               more               pieces               of               your               own               color.

    Because               stalling               is               not               an               option               in               this               variant,               it               can               be               played               at               longer               time               controls               than               bughouse.
                   Chess960
                   This               game,               also               known               as               Fischer               Random               Chess,               is               mostly               played               with               the               same               rules               as               standard               chess.

    The               change               comes               from               the               opening               position,               which               is               generated               at               random               from               960               possibilities!

    The               back               rank               of               pieces               is               shuffled,               with               only               the               following               rules:               the               bishops               must               be               on               opposite               colors,               and               the               king               must               be               between               the               two               rooks.

    Several               ways               of               doing               this               randomization               are               possible,               such               as               with               dice               or               with               a               computer.

    Only               one               randomization               is               necessary,               as               black's               position               must               mirror               white's,               as               in               standard               chess.
                   Many               people               like               this               variation,               as               it               eliminates               most               of               opening               theory               and               requires               both               players               to               rely               on               their               own               ideas.

    This               page               features               the               complete               rules               for               Chess960,               along               with               instructions               on               how               to               randomize               the               position.
                   Atomic               Chess
                   This               variant               is               popular               on               many               online               chess               servers,               but               is               also               easily               played               on               a               real               board.

    The               game               is               setup               and               played               like               normal               chess.

    However,               when               a               capture               is               made,               it               creates               an               "explosion,"               which               destroys               all               pieces               in               a               one               square               radius               around               the               capture               -               including               the               capturing               piece               itself!

    The               only               pieces               immune               to               the               explosion               radius               are               pawns,               though               they               are               still               destroyed               if               they               are               used               to               capture               another               piece.

    For               instance,               if               a               piece               captures               another               piece               on               e5,               pieces               (excluding               pawns)               on               all               the               following               squares               are               also               destroyed:               d6,               e6,               f6,               d5,               f5,               d4,               e4               and               f4.
                   The               game               is               won               by               capturing               or               exploding               the               enemy               king.

    Even               if               you               are               already               in               check               and               have               no               way               out,               you               may               be               able               to               win               if               you               can               cause               an               explosion               that               will               destroy               your               opponent's               king.
                   Suicide               Chess
                   In               this               game,               the               goal               is               to               lose               all               of               your               pieces               -               depending               on               the               exact               rules,               this               may               include               your               king,               which               is               treated               as               just               another               piece.

    If               you               can               make               a               capture,               you               must,               and               the               winner               is               the               first               player               to               be               left               with               nothing               on               the               board.
                   Three               Check
                   Not               enough               time               to               play               a               full               game?

    Three               check               chess               changes               the               rules               so               that               the               person               who               gives               check               three               times               wins               -               no               need               to               trap               the               king,               just               attack               it               enough               times               to               force               a               surrender!

    Strategy               can               get               quite               wild,               as               huge               sacrifices               that               would               simply               lose               in               regular               chess               create               enough               checks               to               win               in               this               game.
                   Progressive               Chess
                   This               popular               variant               is               another               way               to               speed               up               the               game               when               you're               short               on               time.

    The               game               begins               as               normal,               with               white               making               a               single               move.

    However,               black               next               makes               two               consecutive               moves,               followed               by               three               for               white,               and               so               on               until               one               player               is               checkmated               or               the               game               ends               in               resignation               or               a               draw.

    Several               variants               on               this               idea               are               discussed               here.
                   There               are               many               other               games               that               can               be               played               with               a               chessboard;               these               are               just               a               few               of               the               most               popular.

    Try               them               out,               and               you               might               even               find               you               enjoy               some               of               them               more               than               chess               itself!
