RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get your King to the opposite side of the board. Layout the board and arrange the pieces on the same side like shown. White goes first, then turns alternate. On your turn you must move 1 piece, then your opponent goes. All pieces have their normal chess movements, except Kings may never be in check. You may not move a piece to check your opponent’s king and you may not capture a piece if it results in check. Kings are still not allowed to move into check, so any threaten spaces will prevent your king from advancing to them.

The first player to get their king to the 8th row wins. However, to accommodate for white’s first turn advantage, if black is able to get their king to the 8th rank immediately after white does, then the game ends in a draw.

Oh Kings can't be checked! I've been playing this variation wrong.

You can't check your opponent's king nor move your king into check. Nice rule in there.

Me then: Finally, a new chess update

Me now: Why are there so many sequels?!

I like to imagine that when a king gets to the end, they promote to the ultimate god of chess and destroy all of the enemy pieces.

You know, this seems genuinely fun to me. I would really like to try this some day.

I just discovered your channel. I'm enjoying your content, but would enjoy it if these cut-and-dry rules videos were paired with analysis and breakdowns of the games you cover. Especially things like these chess variants; how doe these wonky rules effect play? What types of strategies emerge?

I was thinking about this the other day. What if checking your opponent's King is allowed, but a check prevents the King from moving? You cannot capture the King.

You can do this next variation called king of the hill. It's basically that all things are same as in chess, but if you move your king to the 4 middle squares of chess you automatically win

Have you made "how to play games of the generals" yet?

Why play from this setup as opposed to playing from the orthodox setup and white trying to move their king to the 8th rank and black trying to move their king to the 1st rank?
