Mad Chess (game proposal)
This interesting proposal of a Chess variant comes from Andy Lewicki (surprise, surprise 
) and, as he says, the idea came to him suddenly while thinking about Dice Chess improvements:
Name of the game: Mad Chess
Rules:
Comments? From my point of view, I like this idea very much because the luck factor is not as strong as in Dice Chess and it is possible to create many different strategies.
) and, as he says, the idea came to him suddenly while thinking about Dice Chess improvements:Name of the game: Mad Chess
Rules:
- The game starts with a regular Chess setup (board 8x8 squares, all the pieces like in traditional chess).
- Two dice are used and the moves are executed as described below.
- Chess pieces correspond to numbers on each die as usual - 1 stands for pawn, 2 for knight, 3 for bishop, 4 for rook, 5 for queen and six for king.
- After the two dice are thrown, a player has a choice to choose one die as a master die but actually move like the second die indicates. Example: we got 6 and 3, so we can use a king (6) and move it like a bishop (3) or choose bishop (3) and move it like a king (6).
- Any double limits a move to specific figure, and for example, 4 and 4 would move a rook only once.
- There are possible "empty" throws, unlike in regular Dice Chess. For example, when there are no more knights and queen, any throw 2 and 5 is just a pass for the player.
- The goal is as usual, to eliminate (capture) opponent's king. There is just one restriction - pawns can eliminate the opponent's king only when 2 dice show 1 and 1. The reason is that the set of Chess pieces contains too many pawns (8) and the game would be too short if they can capture a king with other piece capabilities.
- This game can end very fast indeed, but many surprises awaits as well.

just short explanation. one dice tell WHAT to move and the other HOW to move the piece ... of course, the player chooses
how he/she wants to use them, and which dice is WHAT and which is HOW ...
as far as I know it's unique way of using die and assigning the numbers to chess pieces.
I played this game with my son, who tests games with me ...
after the test I decided to limit pawns "power to kill" and let them do this ungodly task only when 1,1 is rolled.
Regards,
Andy.
