new rules for chess:

1. Friendly Fire ON

2. Landmines

3. If a player loses both of their bishops, the king can now legally divorce the queen without the papal go ahead. This puts the queen into FRENZY mode.

4. Once per game, a player may change one letter in a piece's name to change its role. The rook is now a book. The pawn is now a PAWG. The queen is now...well...I shan't say

5. Knights are now Horses

6. Horses are immune to landmines

7. Pawns can move back a space if they forgot something

8. A bishop can be combined with an adjacent rook to create the Wizard Tower piece

9. Each player now has 2 rows of pawns

OOC: I've started to play chess for the first time in about 8 years. putting this on here cus i started this blog as a bit of a joke. ie: guy who thinks chess is boring and has forgotten all the rules roleplays a man who's entire life is dedicated to knowing the rules of chess and just makes up facts. but i guess now i can make genuine posts about the game. obviously while still being in character but yeah. so far ive played 1 game irl and 8 against a computer on the app. im not really learning so much with the latter because it just indicates where im allowed to play, and i wouldn't say I'm enjoying the in person version yet but it is certainly interesting. btw ive yet to lose a game, but i am playing on the easiest level.
