THE RULE
Pieces can only capture the same type.
• Pawns capture pawns
• Knights capture knights
• Queens capture queens
• Kings still capture anything (like normal chess)
Everything else is normal: check, checkmate, castling, en passant, promotion.
WHY PLAY THIS
Regular chess rewards muscle memory. Openings on autopilot. Patterns you stop questioning.
Here, every capture is a decision. Positions that look like blunders aren’t. Safe-looking pieces suddenly aren’t. It’s a workout for calculation — the kind that transfers back when you return to standard chess.
FEATURES
• Full games vs CPU (multiple strengths) or pass-and-play
• Offline — no account required
• Weird-rule mate puzzles built for this capture rule
• Themes and piece sets
• Optional clocks
If you’re stuck in the same games, try a rule that won’t let your hands play for you.
