 » CubicShogi 1.1+
download web site opinions problem?
  CubicShogi substitutes cubes for the chess pieces, where the six faces of each cube display a different chess piece (Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, General, and King). A major tenet of CubicShogi is simplification without radical changes while maintaining good game play. The variant Heian šogi with playing board 8×8 or 9×8 is the only shogi variant somewhat similar to CubicShogi; other variants are larger or smaller, have new units, or lack drops. No installation required, unzip the download file and use a program such as 7Zip to extract the "CS.rar" file into a folder of your choice. Double click on the file "CubicShogi.exe" to run the program.

 » TrapChess 1.1+
download web site opinions problem?
  TrapChess is a new chess variant with artificial intelligence. The basic rules are the same as in standard chess but three units have a forward movement extension of one field that must be free: Rook diagonally; Bishop straight; Knight diagonally. The player on turn may either move by International rules or convert an exchange placement of two pieces, which is considered as one move. The condition of an exchange is a threat to a weaker unit's field by a more powerful unit - in the opposite situation, exchange of the pieces may not be transferred. The king never makes an exchange. These factors accelerate the game, requiring a higher proportion of intuition in the usage of chess theory. One of the missions is to have TrapChess provide chess fans with more fun in the form of unconventional strategies and tactics. It is possible to save plays and recall them later to analyze them.

  In ButterflyChess the basic rules are the same as in the orthodox chess. Eliminated is eˇpˇcapture. Queen, Rook and Bishop have, in addition to their moves, an extension to jump any colored man, first blocking a movement in the selected direction. The extension enables the piece to stand on the next square behind a jumped man - if is occupied by an enemy unit, that is eliminated from the game. The pieces that are standing on the 2nd. and 7th. row must not be jumped by extended unit in a forward direction.

 » Search And Destroy Chess 2.0+
download web site opinions problem?
  SearchAndDestroyChess is a variant on chess, also called Kriegspiel or Dark Chess. In SearchAndDestroyChess you can only view that part of the board that is 'seen' by your pieces. Special rules: a player cannot be in chess, nor in checkmate. Instead, if the king is captured, the capturer wins. This is because it is possible for a king to be in check without knowing it. Normal rules to en passant capture apply. But when a pawn can be captured en passant, this pawn is visible. This makes a pawn look sideways for only one turn. This is because the attacker must be able to see that he/she can make an en passant capture. Normal rules to castling apply, except that castling can take place when in chess and through attacked squares. This is because it is possible for a king to be or getting in check without knowing it. A pawn always gets promoted to a queen.

download web site opinions problem?
  In Holechess the traditional men are substituted by the cubes, which have on each side displayed respectively a King, Queen, Pawn, Bishop, Knight and Rook. The current value of the cube is determined by the symbol uppermost. The basic rules are the same like in the OrthoChess. Eliminated are the promotion of the pawn reaching the last rank and e.p. capture. The Rook has an extension by moving next square in any diagonal direction. Captured men are put without rotation into a 'stock' next to the board. A player on turn may either move a man (whose image is displayed uppermost) or may change any man on the board to the unit with an opposite colour in the stock, forbidden is a change of the piece under attack to a pawn. This virtual change is made by a rotation of both cubes dependently to a symbol on the upper side.

 » Fog of War Chess 1.0+
download web site opinions problem?
  The general concept of playing Fog of War Chess is that regular chess is played, but you can only see the places where your pieces can move and attack. The places you can move are marked with yellow discs. The places you can capture are marked with red discs. All pieces see the square they are on, the squares they can move to, the squares they can capture, and (most importantly) the squares of friendlies who are "blocking" it. This last part matters most for capturing. There are some exceptions; Pawns see the three squares in front of them at all times; The king has a warning system. The squares around him and the square he is on will be marked with red boxes if the king cannot move there. If the king is in check, the pieces that could capture him are also visible. Full instructions available on the home page.

  Chess is a game I absolutely love, it is fantastically relaxing, intruiging, and at times, mind numbingly annoying. This is my dedication and thanks to one of the best games ever invented. It's a small tribute, but every effort has gone into ensuring none of the traditions of Chess have have been lost. It is a game for all ages, and better yet, this version is 2 player.

  Along with nuclear physicists and brain surgeons, great chess players are seen as being among the intellectual giants of the planet. This is partly because chess involves the simultaneous use of strategy, mathematics, and risk-analysis, and partly because the game is such a bitch to learn. But fear the chessboard no more, for we will now teach you the basics of chess. No, we won't teach you enough to start scamming people in Central Park, but you'll at least be able to follow the game and make witty comments.

  In Cubic Chess the traditional men are replaced with cubes which have one Chess piece, King, Queen, Pawn, Bishop, Knight and Rook, on each side of the cube. The current value of the cube is determined by the symbol uppermost. The basic rules are the same as ordinary Chess but the promotion of the pawn reaching the last rank and e.p. capture is eliminated. Captured men (not pawns) are put without rotation into a "stock" next to the board. A player on turn may either move a man (whose image is displayed uppermost) or may change any pawn on the board by rotating the cube to show a man of the same kind as the contrary colored man in the stock. This cube is immediately removed from the stock.
