I dont know if this is an actual variant. or if there is another name for. I used to play it as a kid.
Basically the rules are the same except there are no checks or checkmates. Castling is the same except the king can move through or into a check . The king can be captured. And the pawn promotion rules are the same.
It was basically a last man (peice) standing type of game where the player with more material at the end was the winner.
Although sometimes it ended up in weird perpetual check type of positions where a queen would be chased around the board by 2 knights and a bishop etc.
I guess you would have to get some type of computer evaluation and declare those type of positions where no progress to be made as a win for the player with more material.
What do you guys think? Would it be worth playing? or is it too simple?
