One of the Power Cards lets you glue down the pieces.Namechangeday said:I'm upset they still haven't fixed the "someone filps over the table and all the pieces go missing" bug. It's the main reason I keep losing all my pieces and I can't seem to get them all back.
I came here to say the exact same thing, I haven't tried it out yet, but here's hoping it'll be interesting. Reviews say the AI is shit, so online play would have to be the way to go.BrotherRool said:There's actually Chess 2 which you can find on the internet, I'm guessing it might be what inspired this because it was released for the Ouya recently.
It starts off simply enough, now they are two ways to win, even through checkmate or by getting your King to the opponents half of the board without moving into check.
..but then you have character selection. Sure you could start with the normal army, or you could choose the one where rooks can teleport to any board square they wish but can't capture a piece of be captured. Or instead of your queens you have two Kings and both have a 'whirlwind' move where they destroy every piece around them. Of the army where the pawns can move towards the enemy king whether that involves going diagonally or backwards...
Or there's the army where any queens can only move like Kings, but any two pieces adjacent to each other shares their moveset. So if a bishop and a knight were currently next to each other, the bishop could move like a knight and the knight like a bishop.

Nice Foxtrot reference. Love that comic.El Portero said:Methinks this joke is as old as dirt, but still funny. Reminds me of a comic I have cut out and tacked to my cork board. http://www.foxtrot.com/2010/02/02072010/

Douglas Hofstadter came up with a whole slew of chess variations.Darth_Payn said:Not gonna lie: I want to play that version.
This is not the only attempt I've seen to improve chess. The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon tried to split the board 3 ways along an equilateral triangle.

Chest and Chesh are played on a triangular and hexagonal grid respectively (rules for Chesh are here: http://www.oocities.org/athens/olympus/5867/chesh.html)
Chass is played on a single one-dimensional line of indefinite size, choss on a three-dimensional grid (and chæss is played on a 2x∞ board)
yep many; ouya just had a game called chess 2 released. It's based on some rules that have been floating around for years, kinda fun.Johnny Novgorod said:This made me wonder - is there such a thing as an updated version of chess?
