Pocket Mutation Chess. Take one of your pieces off the board, maybe change it, keep it in reserve, and drop it on the board later. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In some endgames the weaker side can sacrifice pieces to achieve a stalemate draw. I just posted a comment to 'Perpetual check explained with animated gif' in 'The rules of chess', citing a game that ended with 21 consecutive Rook checks. The 50-move rule is probably required to actually force an end to that game.
<p>I like the value classes! The CardinalRider (Unicorn) and ChancellorRider (Varan) are listed in Abecedarian Big Chess (ABChess) on this site. Back in 1991, G. P. Jelliss called these pieces the Banshee and the Raven.
