rod03801: I agree that Behemoth Chess seems to be way too reliant on luck - that is my whole strategy in the game is just wait it out - try to quickly make a little room for my king to move around, and try to move it out of a direct line of the "Behemoth" when ever I can.

Having 3 kings on a 10 x 10 board (spread out) might be an interesting idea.

My idea is to keep it the same, but make it so the Behemoth can NOT kill the king - just kill everything else. That way the players STILL has to play chess - still has to try to capture the other players king, but while trying to capture it, your attacking piece might be eaten by the Behemoth so you have to move to a different attacking piece. That is how I would change the game (well make a different variant.) It would put a little more "chess" back into the chess game.
