random chess game variant
« on: June 14, 2017, 10:45:04 PM »
there is one new type of turn you can take, which is to not move any piece, but pick a piece on the board which is yours, and "reinforce" it. a piece which is reinforced can be captured only if the enemy has two ways of capturing it (of course when the capture happens, only one of those ways need be used). once the pieces moves, the reinforcement effect also goes away.
furthermore, you can double reinforce a piece using 2 turns, triple reinforce a piece using 3 turns, etc.

this breaks the chess game because then you can just reinforce your king for 16 turns and win

I assume you're only allowed to reinforce twice.

idk it sounds interesting but I'd actually have to play it to see

what i meant is going from 1 reinforced to 2 reinforces takes 2 turns, so getting up to 16 reinforced would take 16*15 turns which is infeasible
