MadMonkey: I think that would be a really fun change to Behemoth chess!!! I'm horrible at regular chess, so adding a bit of luck to the game is great. But Behemoth just seems TOO reliant on luck, and I got bored with it. Making it 10x10 with 3 kings would be cool, I think.

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.

coan.net: I think Moneky's idea is better. If the Behemoth does not like Kings, there will be a llot more draws.

coan.net: That sounds like a boring game. You still need luck, and it'll create many draws as there will quickly not be enough pieces to mate.

coan.net: If some force majeure can remove my pieces, I am not playing chess.
