Has anyone tried this? I have to say i really like it. I'm not wild about chess variants as a rule but this one is really good! You can get so creative. 🙂

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemIt is probably a better game than classical chess tbh. I'd like to see anyone develop an opening that can't be refuted by simply capturing something randomly and doing something completely contrary to what you expect. I watched a Chess Network video with him playing and he asks how many possible games (mathematically) there are? Well, it is going to be a LOT more! A hell of a lot more!!! Holy cow 🙄

Originally posted by 64squaresofpainWhile I enjoy playing crazy house, I wouldn't like to see it take the place of standard chess. Crazy house games are decided almost exclusively by attacking skill. Much of the richness of standard chess - endgames, for example, is not present.
I read somewhere that the number of possible crazyhouse games might just even be infinite,
when you consider that you could technically keep recapturing and placing pieces back on the board to capture in a different style.
It's really quite crazy, and should regular chess one day become "solved" or redundant,
then this is a variant that would keep the game alive.
