Double Move Double Chess

 

I must admit that this is really something amazing and exciting from all those chess variants that I am the author of.

A few small thoughts about this chess variant, which will soon be seriously tested in the First Experimental Tournament at ASSI Correspondence Games website.

Despite the fact that the initial arrangement of pawns was used by Gilman for a board that changes its geometry in space, it proved to be excellent in the conditions of an ordinary double move chess game on two boards. The pawn-free a and h files made the game more intense and dynamic, filled with tactics and strategy never seen before in double-move chess.

Usually in any multi-move variants of chess, both sides strive for immediate exchanges of strong pieces, which leads to a rapid exhaustion of the game. With this initial setup, I was able to achieve exceptional deep and meaningful play with two consecutive moves by both players.

Columns of pawns on the b and g files preserve the potential of the game in case of massive exchanges and turn the endgame into a mind-blowing and exciting confrontation between two players.

I hope this game will bring a lot of joy and exciting moments to all those who play it.
