A game of Extinction Chess, with analysis.
Chess is very popular on the internet. SchemingMind has a website where people from
all over the world play challenges, with a 160 player chess dropout tournament having
recently started. As technology has advanced, chess variants have become popular
at the Scheming Mind Website. Your pieces can jump to another board in Alice chess,
make attacks in the dark in Sun Tzu chess or switch colors in Benedict’s chess.
This story details a game of Extinction chess. The rules are very much like regular
chess, but with one major distinction – if you lose all of any type of piece, you
lose the game. That means that you cannot have both bishops taken, or all eight
pawns, or the king or queen. So checkmates must be delivered from afar, and some
odd combinations of play result.
In this game – white is able to queen a pawn while leaving his initial queen open
to attack. Thus the loss of a queen is not an extinction of white queens
White: lemme howdt
Black: Altair
