Dice Landing Chess

Chess is a great game. It has been around for well over 1,000 years. The current form of chess is 100 years old - this year the International Chess Federation (FIDE) celebrates its centenary anniversary.

But many people, especially beginners aren't happy with the opening stage of FIDE chess - It's no fun the 8 pawns block the major pieces. Also the conventional chess takes too much time to play a good game - it's a major task managing 16 of your own pieces while watching out your opponents' 16 pieces.

Since I invented DLchess (Dice Landing chess) more than 10 years ago, I have played with strangers in public parks, during air travels, and on a cruise ship. The rules are easy to follow, and people enjoy the dynamic games from the first minute!

Playing DLchess is really fun:
