About
A Weird Chess Game is chess with one capture rule changed.
THE WEIRD RULE
Pieces can only capture enemy pieces of the same type.
• Pawns capture pawns
• Knights capture knights
• Queens capture queens
• And so on
Everything else is normal chess: check, checkmate, castling, en passant, and promotion all work the usual way. That one capture rule changes tactics completely. Positions that look safe in normal chess may not be safe here — and the opposite is true too.
