Alice Chess

www.Schemingmind.com offers this unpredictable variant that combines Lewis Carroll's Through the Lookingglass mentality with the logic and reason applied to the chess. When a piece is moved, it lands and is whisked away to alternate reality board B. There is essentially only one rule-change from orthodox chess: A second board is used, initially empty, and after a move, on either board, the moved piece is transferred to the square with the same coordinates on the other board. Moves must be legal, no landing on occupied squares and no en passant (its too messy). lemme is playing on an alice chess pyramid - a ladder with slightly different rules. zabindaprufte
