Recognized Chess Variant: Kriegspiel
This more than one century old chess variant has a steady group of enthousiastic players and three books written on it. Playing Kriegspiel well may not be easy, but rewarding. The complexity comes in this variant from the fact that there are many things about the position you cannot know, but some you can guess or deduce.Kriegspiel is often played over the board, with help of a referee, but also on chess servers on the Internet. It is occasionally used as a theme in fairy chess problem compositions.
