I had a similar idea recently, but this looks pretty interesting. Has anyone played this? I'm surprised there's no ZRF.

I'm only on my second game of this, but it is already my favorite Chessgi-type game; elegant, fun, and very playable.

I've only begun a game of this, but it seems to be a wonderful game. I've never seen a variant that plays so differently from orthodox chess with such elegant, intuitive rules. I have a second invitation open if anyone is interested.

Extinction chess. Win by making your opponents pieces of one type extinct. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Extinction Chess is a great game of course, but the shorter games it usually provides made me think of combining it with Brotherhood Chess, a slower-than-normal game.

Anyway, here's the Game Courier preset I made for this.
