Thema: Re: Dark Chess -- Home Version

Walter Montego: Sorry, I thought you meant you would be playing against someone else, but I can now see your need for a third person.

When I ws a kid (12-15) we used to play "mind chess" where we would sit back to back with a board between us (which we could not see). Each would call out their moves to the other and a third person would make the move on the board. It was not required to announce check (like dark chess) but if you had the abilty you could know when a King was exposed. It certainly sharpened your skills of memory, but not many wanted to play as it was extremely draining, even for kids.
