What is Dice Chess?

Dice chess
 can refer to a number of chess variants in which dice are used to alter gameplay; specifically that the moves available to each player are determined by rolling a pair of ordinary six-sided dice. There are many different variations of this form of dice chess. One of them is described here.


How to Play Dice Chess?


To begin a game: you can only move a pawn or knight. In chess dice, that means you must roll a 1 or 2. If you fail to do so, your turn ends and your opponent takes the dice.

Moving pieces: You cannot refuse to move a chess piece. If you roll a 4 and can move your rook, you must do so even if it puts the piece in jeopardy.

King in check: If your king is in check, your only play is to get out of check by moving the king, capturing the opponent's checking piece or moving another piece in between your king and the opponent's checking piece.

Failure to end check: If your turn ends without getting out of check, you do not automatically lose the game. Your opponent does get a chance to roll and put you in checkmate though.

Castling: This move can be accomplished by rolling a 4 or 6 when your chess pieces are in position to execute it.

En Passant: When this move is possible, a player may execute it by rolling a 1.

Pawn Promotion: If a pawn moves across to the opposite end of the board, any number rolled will promote it. However, it can only be promoted to the number rolled. For example, a player rolls a 2 so the pawn gets promoted to a knight.

Rules


The players alternate rolling the dice and, if possible, moving. On each of the dice, the one represents a pawn, two a knight, three a bishop, four a rook, five a queen, and six a king. The player may move either of the pieces indicated on the two dice. For example, a player rolling a one and a two may move either a pawn or a knight. 카지노사이트777 A player who rolls doubles (the same number on both dice) may play any legal move. Otherwise, standard chess rules apply, with these exceptions:

a player who has no legal move with either of the pieces indicated by the dice loses that turn (passed turn);

if castling is otherwise legal, a player may castle upon rolling a four, six, or doubles;

an en passant capture of a pawn is possible only if the player rolls a one, or doubles, immediately once the opportunity for the en passant capture arises;

a player who is in check can only play a legal response to that check (capturing the checking piece, moving the king, or interposing a piece);

a player who is in check but does not make a roll allowing a legal response to the check loses that turn, but does not automatically lose the game;

except in the unlikely event that the game ends in a draw pursuant to the standard rules of chess, the game ends when one player either checkmates the opponent or captures the opponent's king.
