Play Extra Move Chess online with Game Courier

Extra Move Chess, created by Fergus Duniho, is a double-move variant that was designed to work within the limitations of Zillions of Games. Here is a selection of presets for playing Extra Move Chess on Game Courier. Each preset allows pieces to be moved with the mouse, asks what pieces Pawns should promote to, enforces the rules, and spots check, checkmate, and stalemate. All the following presets use the same settings file and differ only in how they have been customized to use different pieces, boards, and rendering methods. If you find any bugs in the routines used for enforcing the rules, please report them to Fergus Duniho.
