Asymmetrical chess
Our asymmetrical chess variant was inspired by the setup of an existing variant called Diagonal chess (well balanced).
Setup
The asymmetrical chess variant is played on conventional chessboard and 15 chessmen per player (7 pawns). The initial setup is shown in Fig.1.
Pieces
Pieces are the same as in standard chess and have identical abilities, except for double pawn moves. Only seven pawns per player are allowed.
Rules
Rules of asymmetrical chess match exactly the rules of standard chess, except for double pawn moves.
Notes
This new 2-player variant is playable with any computer program for classical chess which allows setting initial positions. So you can try it immediately!
