Chess with Dice
Sort:
Interesting idea. I haven't heard of any other variants like that, but I could be wrong. I'm going to have to try that next time I'm playing over the board.
Me too thaught about chess & dice, but a bit different, move according to the numbers displayed after rolling the dice, but I was confused about how to play the Knight. Also my friend (Pradeep) thought to play chess with more pieces and a big 15 raw X 15 columns board.
nice idea..

There's another interesting variant of chess called "can I?". When you want to play a move you show it to your opponent and you ask him if you can play it. If he denies you have to choose another move (and then your opponent can't deny it).

LOL :P definetaly that skills your brain, you must think double time, lol yeah im trying this too..
back to the topic,
when i read to play with dice,,, I guess something better, play like this:
based upon the dice, you MUST MOVE
2 or 1: you must move a pawn (2 squares or 1square as the dice)
3= knight
4=bishop
5=rook
6=queen
the king must be moved only when check or when 0 pawns left
excepcionts, in example If you have a 5 and your ROOK is traped (no move is possible), then you can move 'minor points' piece :P LOL Im just creating this rules at the moment, but can be interesting!!!
Title that game as SIERRA DICE CHESS

Could be a fun variant to play although there could already be another similar form of chess with better rules =)
I have a blog post about a chess with dice game here.
