Anti-King Chess. Each player has both a King and an Anti-King to protect; Anti-Kings are in check when not attacked. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Though V.R.Parton is mentioned in 2002-2004 comments and the write-up,
Anti-King is extreme form of his CONTRAMATIC Chess 1961, not yet cited:
(Summarized from p.70 Pritchard's ECV)
(1)One's own move, that puts or leaves enemy King in check, loses.
(2)If opponent's King is in check, a player must move to remove that
check. Of course Aronson's version has King too and required continual
checks for A-K etc., but it looks like special case with new array from 
among Parton's Contramatic games.
