It is a known fact that the Mad Queen variant is a game from an un-enlightened time. It is filled with oppression, class-ism, sex-ism, etc. Thus it was essential that this game be brought into compliance with acceptable modern standards.
The playing field is now 10x10, the reason being that the previous 8x8 playing field retains so many bad memories and players should not be forced to re-live the abuse which they suffered within its domain.
There are no actual captures in this games, being a barbaric form of play. But there are temporary displacements. Pieces which are displaced from the field can be re-introduced to the field under certain obligations. These are best known as Involuntary Time-Outs.
  • Both the DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL and the SIGNIFICANT OTHER, being equal partners, move alike. Each slides orthogonal or diagonal through vacant cells. Neither piece displaces other pieces. A displaced DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL must be re-introduced to a cell adjacent one of the SIGNIFICANT OTHER. A displaced SIGNIFICANT OTHER can only be re-introduced to a cell adjacent a DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL.
  • The GROUP THERAPIST slides diagonal. But because this form of move un-fairly obligates it to half of the playing field, it is allowed to perform a single orthogonal step. A piece which is displaced by a GROUP THERAPIST is returned to its player who may re-introduce it as a move on any of that particular piece's initial starting positions, which must be vacant. These position may be on either side of the field. This applies to all pieces which are displaced by the GROUP THERAPIST. The DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL and SIGNIFICANT OTHER may be re-introduced to either of their starting cells. This particular obligation is seen as an attempt to give the displaced piece the opportunity to Began Anew. A displaced GROUP THERAPIST which is re-introduced to the playing field is allowed another orthogonal step privilege.
  • The SOCIAL WORKER leaps to any occupied second cell, but does not displace pieces from the field. Instead it pushes a piece located in the target cell into an adjacent vacant cell. If there is no vacant cell for such a move, it is not permitted to make that leap. It may not displace a piece if it and the piece are adjacent the same CONFLICT ARBITRATOR. And displacement of a player's AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL may result in 'sandwich' displacements.
  • The PUBLIC HOUSING is allowed to slide orthogonal through vacant cells. On the first move, it is allowed to slide nine cells. The second move, eight cells. The third move, seven cells....,etc. After the ninth move, it is not permitted to move. All pieces which are adjacent the PUBLIC HOUSING are not allowed to move, although AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs may still participate in 'sandwich' displacements and 'frozen' pieces may be displaced by a SOCIAL WORKER. A displaced PUBLIC HOUSING which is re-introduced to the playing field begins again with the privilege of sliding up to nine cells, then eight, then seven, etc.
  • The CONFLICT ARBITRATOR may leap to any vacant cell on the field, as long as it imposes itself between two pieces, regardless of player. It cannot be displaced.
  • The AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL steps orthogonal or diagonal to vacant cells. When an AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL is moved so that it is oriented with a piece between it and another AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL, regardless of player, that 'sandwiched' piece, also regardless of player, may be displaced and returned to its player who may swap out one of their AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL with this piece as a move. And this displaced AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL is considered 'retired' and may be re-introduced as a non-moving piece on any vacant cell of the playing field on a subsequent turn. Retired AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs are still allowed to participate in sandwich displacements but they themselves may not be displaced.
The 'sandwich' displacement may involve more than one piece. 'Sandwich' displaced AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs are re-introduced as Retired AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs to any vacant cell on the field as a turn. Re-introduced Retired AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs may perform 'sandwich' displacements.

Any piece which is allowed to displaced others can do so to either players' pieces. This is Equal Opportunity.

All displacements are voluntary. No piece is obligated to perform a move which would force it to make a displacement. Each player should feel comfortable to make their own Choice.

Game Resolution:
A player who has not any non-retired AVERAGE INDIVIDUALs on the field at any time has deferred their victory of the game. This is known as the Non-Productive Resolution.
If at the end of a turn, a player does not have both their DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL and SIGNIFICANT OTHER on the field then their victory is also deferred. This is know as the Dissolution Resolution.
If all four CONFLICT ARBITRATORs are adjacent each other, all located in a 2x2 area, the game is considered amiably ended. This particular pattern is known as the Agreeable Resolution.
Each player is allowed to pass on their turn. This done by click on the Pass Turn symbol to the right of the playing field. If both players consecutively pass their turn, the game is considered over. This is known as the Satisfactory Resolution.

Although players are obligated to move only those pieces which are initially located on their side of the field, this should not be construed as ownership. This is Personal Mentoring.

 
PC Chess was initially created as a humorous example of the convolutions formed by those who would police ThoughtCrime. It actually became a very interesting, if not very aggravating, form of play.

There are many ideas within the game which may result in this author not being invited to certain cocktail parties. Especially since he often gets smashed and attempts to explain Intelligent Design, using the platypus as absolute Proof.
