Red Fool Chess. Standard Chess, but with two extra rows and one semi autonomous piece, the Red Fool.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Safe squares for the Fool to move to are either empty or undefended. I wrote a complete update and rewrite of this page, but my changes were not saved. Thank you for editing it. A draw game will only occur when the Fool actually delivers the check.

The RF can only move if threatened. It can not move to defended square. It will always move to an empty undefended square first (choice of player who threatened it), if it can't do that it will attack the player who threatened it with her choice of lowest value pieces. If the Fool has no move, it does not move -it just blocks until either side's move threatens it. The player who threatens has the only choice of the limited moves available to the RF.

yes, if the players move threatens the RF, then the RF moves and that player has a choice of the RF's limited movement options

yes. the RF must move if threatened, unless it has no possible move.

any color piece may threaten the RF and force it to move

the RF will not move to nor will it attack on any square that is defended by any white or black piece

there is a hierarchy to its movements - empty, undefended square first (choice of player who threatened it), or attack on the lowest value piece that is undefended (in case of more than one of equal low value, choice of player who threatened the RF during his normal turn move)
