UC-170-13. Universal Chess version featuring 170 different kind of major pieces and 13 different kind of pawns. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]How well would this variant work?
- When you drop a piece, you make a normal move on the same turn if and only if you are in check after the drop is made.
- You may drop the pawn and non-pawn on the same turn, in either order, but if done, both are done before the normal move (as above, done if and only if you are in check).
- You may drop a piece to put yourself into check (allowing you to make a normal move); if so, you must then move out of check, and if you cannot, then you lose because you have checkmated yourself.
- If you are forced to drop a piece (on the last turn available for such things to happen) and there is no legal position for it to be placed, the piece is removed from the game entirely, and your turn is skipped if you are not in check.
- If one player removes thirteen pieces from the game before being dropped due to no valid position, that player loses the game as soon as it is his turn on a turn beginning when he is not in check.
