AAUUGHH! Chess. After every move, there's a 1 in 18 chance of the rules switching to another in a list of variants. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Ack, sorry I didn't cover it. I wrote this variant years ago. Start out on 'Regular Chess.' A variant of the variant, of course, would be to roll the dice to decide where to start. And, of course, the 5-5 or 6-6 version listed here gives a 1/18 chance of a shift every player-move; if that's too low or high, change it. <p>If a player is immediately in check- umm, didn't think of that. This is ChessVariants.com- invent your own rules! I'd suggest that the player abruptly in check, if it's not his or her move, gets an extra turn, but with it being such a special case, it seems an awkward, fiddly, and overall stinky rule. Thoughts?
