hi, you didn't hear from me since ... yes, since Monday ? Summer is approaching and it's time to get relaxed our rules and make some fun ... Massacre is satisfying our lower instincts and that's good to release some aggression ... but how about some unexpected, some mysterious and unknown events on a chessboard ? I prepared for you an easy form of chess and entertaining ... I called it Crossdresser Chess ... now listen .. 1. Regular chess setup and 64 field board will be used ... 2. After each move every piece that moved CHANGES its gender/look/behaviour (you call it whatever you want) ... and everything happens randomly ... 3. Example: after move e2-e4 white pawn can TRANSFORM (crossdress) into any other piece of its own color, with the exception of a King ... so, we may have suddenly a Queen on e4 ... or a Knight etc ... 4. The fun starts when, for example, you move your Bishop to the same row as opponent's King hoping that it CROSSDRESSES to a Queen and possibly check mates opponent's King ... 5. The whole game is build on unexpected events and the only thing we want is to pray for the best "dress" for our pieces ... 6. All other traditional rules of chess apply, including castling and promotion ... 7. Promotion can be very tricky since you are not going to get the piece you choose ... so choose it "wrongly" ... 8.Just to make it clear ... software can refuse to crossdress a piece and keep it unchanged ... chances are it will crossdress, but who knows ... 9. When you think you check the King with your Queen you may end up as a pawn ... **** Let's have fun this summer. Hope you like this variant. Cheers, Andy.

ChessVariant: Seems interesting. In theory, if you move 8 different pieces in a row (i.e. move each pawn in your first 8 moves), you could end up with 8 queens. Check-mating strategy would involve "circling the wagons" and hoping for the best.

cd power: Thanks for your opinion ... I wouldn't worry much about statistics in this case ... firstly, I would be happy getting 8 queens this way ... secondly, it is very remotely possible and thirdly, my moves are not done in a vacuum and you will probably try to attack these queens and make some kind of damage to them .... about "circling the wagons" ... it may go faster than we think ... remember, pawns can only grow bigger (with the exception when software do not crossdress them) ... so, attacking pawns multiply the overall power of your pieces ... The more we know about this variant the better ... Thanks, Andy.

joshi tm:Joshi, I can assure you, you will have plenty of fun with regular pieces ... I am trying to keep rules and equipment really simple and letting these rules create depth of the game ...not by adding some extra pieces ... most of the time, of course ... thanks for your comment, Andy.
