Dice Chess Online

Dice Chess Online is chess with a twist: three dice decide which pieces you can move. The board, pieces, and moves are familiar, but every turn starts with a roll. Luck and skill meet in every game.

HOW TO PLAY

Each turn you roll three dice. Every die shows a chess piece: pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, or king. You may move only the pieces that were rolled, up to three moves in one turn. The goal is to capture the opponent’s king. There is no check, checkmate, or stalemate: the king can stay under attack, and whoever takes the king first wins. Castling, en passant, and pawn promotion work as in classic chess. A game takes a few minutes, and one roll can turn any position around.

The idea goes back to Chaturanga, the ancient Indian ancestor of chess, where dice decided the moves.
