Check out Janggi (Korean Chess), our featured variant for December, 2024.

This page is written by the game's inventor, Lev Grigoriev.

Faceoff Chess

Suddenly created chess variant.

Setup & pieces are standard.

Rules

Kings can't be in one orthogonal (horizontal and vertical) or diagonal line without pieces between them (face each other).

All other rules are as in FIDE. Your aim is to checkmate.

So king vs king + 2 knights position is not draw.
