RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get 1 pawn to the opposite side of the board. Lay out a 4x4 board. Place white’s pawns on the closest row and black’s pawns on the farthest. Pawns move the same as in regular chess except they may not perform their initial double step move option, therefore en passant is not allowed. If a player has no legal move, then they lose. The first player to get a pawn to the opposite side of the board, wins!

I don't remember the pawns movement and needed a refreshment of those rules, I'm disappointed

From 0:30 if en passant is not allowed then where did the other 2 black and white pawns go?

Suggestion: Hexapawn
The same thing but the board is smaller and there are less pawns.

octopawn and hexapawn both have a definite winner (if the second player plays the game perfectly remembering the openings he/she wins)

There's also the smaller variant Hexapawn, and the subvariant that VSauce created, Shreksapawn.

*Puts a white pawn to the other side.* Haha! I won! *Replaced the pawn with a queen and delete the remaining black pawns.*

I like Pawnographic Chess better, for this type of variant. It's on an 8 x 8 board, the pawns are set up as in normal, FIDE chess, & their moves are identical in every respect (except they don't promote, of course) to regular FIDE chess (including en passant); otherwise, it's exactly the same as this game (get a P to the last rank, or shut out the opponent's ability to move).

L chess( -No- stress chess)
Rules are the same like in chess, except the players having guitar bags near them.

×After every move, your enemy might play one cheat move(or two but after theese moves loses an ability to cheat
×When your piece gets taken, the enemy should say the entire wiki page on the letter L
×The player who loses his last nerve cell and ragequits or ragequits and pulls out the traumatic Ak-47 rifle out of the guitar bag loses, and the player who makes the player ragequit wins

should just make the board two squares longer so you can en passant, what a waste
