Have you ever played a chess variant with non-standard pieces and thought "I wish there were even more non-standard pieces in this game?" Have you ever looked at the massive swath of chess variants and said "Could we combine these all into one game?"
Presenting Custom Chess, a new chess variant!
At the start of the game, players take turns designing new chess pieces using the provided Character Creator. Players then place their custom pieces on the starting rows, and then play chess, with the goal of checkmating your opponent's lichpin.

An introductory video introducing the simple rule change and some effects and then a video pitting the GM against the GOAT of variant chess: Fairy-Stockfish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5kc92lA-7M and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVFCE-DB3W8 A really fascinating form of chess with a lot that is familiar and a lot that is new and really cool 😎

#chess #chessvariants #sidewayspawnchess Just a wild stab in the dark but does anyone know of any chess GUI that supports sideways pawn chess? Fairy Stockfish can play it and you can play it online too (https://fairyground.vercel.app/) but I don’t know of any GUI that supports it. Cutechess doesn’t as far as I can see nor ChessV…

If you play the game today (December 31st) do you notice anything different?
Wishing you all the best in the coming year.

Have a printer and some chess pieces laying around? That's all you need to play Doc Pop's One-Dimensional Chess!
If you love chess, I think you'll really dig this variant. It's surprisingly more strategic and replay-able than it might appear. #Chess #ChessVariants #BoardGame #PrintAndPlay #GameDesign

Postscript: on a 2 × 2 × 2 × ... board, the board is infinitely large yet extraordinarily cramped.
