Cross-fire Chess!

Post by Bamax »

Inspired by Talon and Spiral's game, I devised a new chess variant.

How fair or unfair it is I cannot say as I have yet to test it out. But you can.

Cross-Fire Pawn Chess:

Rules: Like normal chess except....

Cross-fire Pawns: Alll pawns can capture the third diagonal square in front of them IF an enemy occupies it. Only the third square diagonal, if any piece blocks the first or second squares they cannot jump over it to occupy the third square that has the enemy piece.

This is solely an attack move. If no enemy piece occupies a diagonal square three squares out ahead from a pawn then a pawn cannot make the crossfire move.

You cannot cross-fire behind a pawn, only forwards diagonally.


Loroi Versus Umiak Variant: Almost the same rules as Cross-Fire Pawns except for pieces involved and which side cannot use Cross-Fire pawns

Loroi Player: Has a standard chess set of pieces EXCEPT the Loroi pawns lack cross-fire pawn ability.

Umiak Player: Has a king and queen on the first row, and TWO rows stacked above with pawns that HAVE cross-fire ability.

It's a battle of quality vs quantity.


Try it out if you wish and lemme know the results. Thanks!

I will definitely try it myself at some point.
