      I wonder how much better it would be if they made moves simultaneous and added a couple rules to account for this (such as "if two pieces move onto the same square at the same time, they're both eliminated"). It'd become possible for incidental checks to happen but neither side could deliberately check or move into check based on the previous board state.
      It's the kind of mod that wouldn't make any sense OTB but would be pretty easy to implement online (you'd see if your opponent locked in their move based on their clock ticking down).

      You can take a piece adjacent to a king with knight and it won't be a check, and rooks/bishops can be next to king without checking (diagonal and orthogonal, respectively)

      Moving your king into check is still illegal like in normal chess. As you can see in the video, a rook/queen controlling the file above the king prevents him from advancing.

      @Lestertails2 9 місяців тому

      @@laszlovincze5095 interesting! What if we just allow a king to stay in check mate, but disallow capturing king? If you get trapped in check mate you have to use your other pieces to free yourself. Meanwhile your opponent can race their king across the board. If both players get trapped in checkmate, you would be forced to move, so someone will eventually need to let the other player out of check in order to win. I wouldn’t be so much a “race” as a stratigic play to the other side. Also, in this version there is no value in check mating a king , the only win consdtion is having your king on the back rank.

    • @null1023
      @null1023 9 місяців тому +1

      No checks means you also can't put yourself in check, allowing you and your opponent to block moves off. Without it, players would just try and take the opponent king instead of racing. For example, if there's a queen on the back row, you need to deal with that (often by physically blocking it) before you can cross the finish line.
