Subject: New Wild Chess Varient: What do you think?

Author: Anson T J

Wild chess (variations of the game) can be fun. I thought up a new variation.
I've played a few games vs my brother and it seems to be fair. I would like
someone to modify their program so that I could do some analysis.

Anyone interested to help? :-)

I call it Go Chess :)

The board Starts Empty, 1st move, must place the King anywhere, (white moves
1st) then Black places his king (must not place it in Check nor is a piece
allowed to be placed which checks the opponent's King).

Pieces are placed or moved on the board (placed pieces taken from the array of
standard chess pieces (8 panks 1 Queen 2 rooks etc). Pawns must not be placed on
the 8th or 7th rank. Once a pawn has been promoted and subsquently recaptured,
it may return to the game only as a pawn and not as a Queen for example!

We normally start by placing kings in the middle then Queens etc. Seems quite
fun :-)

Let me know what you think! Before ppl say Chess is good enough as it is, I
already agree, but this is a new game which can be interesting.

Regards

Anson
