a list of variants. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This way players can move under the 'old' rules to avoid being in check under the 'new' ones, though not necessarily under the 'old'! The only question that then arises is differentiating checkmate from stalemate when no such move is available.
