Dice Chess Online P3

Sort:

Participation: To play this variant against someone else, just say "sign up." The first two people to sign-up get to play a game of dice chess online.

Rules: Dice chess is a game where each player rolls a pair of ordinary six-sided dice to determine which piece they get to move. Since this game is played online, I will be rolling the dice. Here is a handy chart that should be used to identify which piece you get to move:

1 Pawn
2 Knight
3 Bishop 
4 Rook
5 Queen
6 King
Doubles any legal move

Since I am rolling a pair, you will get to decide which piece to move. For example, if I roll a three and a four, you can either move a bishop or a rook. 

Special Rules: To castle, I must roll a four, six, or double. An en passant move is only possible once someone rolls a 1 or double. A player in check must respond to the check using a piece rolled. If the player does not roll a legal response to the check, he/she is at risk of losing. A player who is not in check but has no legal moves with either of the pieces can play whatever legal move he/she wants.

Rule Changes: Capturing the king is possible when your opponent can't respond to check. Castling out of check is also possible, but the same rules apply when your opponent checks you again.

Please read the rules carefully, especially the special rules. If you have any questions, I will respond to them quickly.

@yujieli is interested in this variant, so she auto signs-up for this game. I am looking for one other player who did not participate in the first two games.

Okay, who plays what color and who may mod the game?

@alexandermatos always mods dice chess games and he will tell you what color you are.

@yujieli is white and @CuriousKush is black. The game is 3 days with no vacation time. After 3 days, a player may call out a timeout warning. After a timeout warning is called, a player has got only 24 hours to respond. To prevent abuse, a timeout warning may only be called after 3 days.

e4 is not a legal move. @yujieli already moved the pawn up on move one. 

yujieli

probably a typo?
