  • Breaking the rules -- What if you can change the rules of chess at cost of some score points?
  • Although it is called a chess variance, there are some rules that didn't apply. There are no castling, en passant, or promotions for pawns.
  • The criteria for winning the game is also simpler, besides checkmate, a winner is always presented by calculating the value of the pieces left. After the value of one side has dropped below a threshold, it would enter the endgame status and the players only have 20 moves to make until the game mandatorily calculates the value of the pieces to determine a winner.
