Has anyone heard of/played a variation of chess called Bug House or Saimese Chess?
REALLY FUN!
It involves playing on a team with another person and when you capture a piece, you pass it to your partner (who is obviously playing the opposite color) and then they, instead of moving, can place the piece anywhere on the board!!!
Anyone played something like it?

Originally posted by Kn1ghtlyI've played it. You can play it on FICS if you wish. And before you ask, no you can't play it here.

Yep! I play bughouse And i'm fantastic at it....
The chess Variations tend to suck....Atomic chess is amazingly unfair on black, and suicide rarely goes past 25 moves
The only good chess Variation i've played [ignoring games like shogi, Xian Qi] is the one where you are able to capture your own pieces...
