Hi all, We've just added 3 new chess variants to www.CowPlay.com... "The Lost Pawns" - The Lost Pawns maintains the standard board setup, however positions of the pieces on the board are flipped so that white's pieces start on the 8th rank and white's pawns on the 7th rank. This has the effect that they are one square away from promotion and the only initial valid move for both players is to move a knight. All other standard chess rules apply. "Pair of Kings" - The board in this variant is extended horizontally by one square, the queen in centered and a king is placed either side of the queen. Note while two kings are in play for a player, it is not possible to get the player in check as one king must first be taken. All other standard chess rules apply. "Legion of Kings" - Using a standard chess board, in this variant all pawns are replaced by Kings. Note that it is not possible to place a player in check until only one of the Kings remain (i.e. all other Kings must first be captured). All other standard chess rules apply. Have fun!
