Banzai Chess

Banzai Chess was created by Vincenzo Rapisardi and some friends as a way of making chess more dynamic and creative. It keeps all the standard rules with just few adjustments. It's easy to learn and super fun to play!

Rules

1) PUSH 

The first and main addition is the Push Rule.

Pieces can move to a square already occupied by other friendly pieces,  pushing them.

The pushed piece is moved to an adjacent square according to the direction of the initial piece's movement.

To calculate the destination square, you can simply follow the direction of the initial piece's movement and the relative positions of the two pieces on the board.

- Each piece pushes in the same way it moves, except for knights which push diagonally.

To execute a push the destination square must be unoccupied. And it is not possible to capture while pushing.
