Oh, sorry then for posting it. The letter didn't make clear what the website was about, unless I read it too quick.
I emailed my bughouse friend about a possible world record, and he didn't know. He wrote:
"I have played in an 6 or 8 a side game- can't remember which. I used
this opportunity to mate my opponent with 6 Knights!Not sure any record exists ...[text shortened]... should be possible for someone to put in the conversational work if they really want to.

Originally posted by marinakatombI didn't play in the bughouse game last time, but it does strike me that there must be a limit to the number of players you have to make seeing the other boards and passing the pieces to other players easy and practical. It could take the fun out of it if you had to get up and walk twenty paces just to give someone a piece, and they would have to have a huge board and pieces for you to be able to know which piece they might like.
That was a simultanious display, it was played to classical chess rules. Bughouse is a different game involving two teams. When a player takes a piece, they can pass that piece to a member of their team who can then use one of their moves to position the piece anywhere on the board. It is really good fun, as even a very strong player can lose to a weak ...[text shortened]... ent was then given a Queen, which they promptly put on the board and threatened mate in two!! 🙄
