Found a game in a shop for £4.99 that combines 2 things I always combine. Alcohol and chess. Seen it before but as it was so cheap thought why not.
Going to have a chess drinking competition now but...
1.
Do you think you take a piece and drink it or
you take a piece and your opponent drinks it?
2.
How about more alcohol in pieces to represent piece value,
ie use a medicine cup and put 1 measure in a pawn but 9 measures in Queen. Or same in all?
My idea is winner stays on table and looser stays on floor.
Originally posted by TorkienThe rules all stay the same only if you take a piece you have to drink its contents.

Material values is a good idea. Works very well if you drink a finger or two fingers of beer per pawns worth of materiality. It can sometimes turn into a game of two halves after the queens come off and you have to down your pint. 😵
gee I know it that you have to drink when your opponent knocks one of your pieces out... damn funny too 😉
if you play this way, then it's same amount of alcohol in every piece 🙂
my sugesstion:
black: coca cola with rum
white: sprite with tequila (alternatively, you could mix orange juice with wodka... it's not white, but it tastes better ;p)

Beer...
Would take ages to get drunk maybe pawns with beer in and pieces with spirits in. Glad u think measures would be a good idea. Singles in knights and bishops, doubles in rooks and tripples in Queen? For taste mixers ok.
A spirit bottle (70cl) is 28 shots of 25ml.
Should help you judge what to use - good luck! 🙂

I don't have the drinking set. I have a normal chess set. This is the deal:
Both players start with a full pint of beer.
When you take a pawn you drink a finger of beer, bishop 3 fingers worth etc. A finger of beer is a measure given by putting your hand along side the pint glass. About 8 fingers worth in a pint.
Start the clock and play a series of 5 minute blitz games. Trust me - you will be leathered pretty quickly.
