Check out Atomic Chess, our featured variant for November, 2024.

Sorcerer Chess

This page contains one or more presets for playing a game online with Game Courier, an online server for playing Chess variants by correspondence.

The game is identical to orthodox chess in every aspect except for extended en-passant rules, initial pawn moves, flexible castling and the optional drop rule.

The extra pieces in middle of board will disappear after starting the preset. Drop a piece as follows: GRY-a0 Where GRY represents the prefix of piece to be dropped and a0 represents the coordinate.
