Each of the two players plays an two boards simultaneously.
One player (BLUE) owns the white pieces on the left board and the black pieces on the right board. The second player (RED) owns the black pieces on the left board and the white pieces on the right board.
Objective: Checkmate one of the opponent's Kings.
The transfer.zrf file holds three variants:
Transfer Chess: Captured pieces can be 'transferred', i.e. dropped in the next move (or later) on the other board. Swap Chess: Like Transfer Chess, but only one piece can be transferred from one board to the other. Parallel Chess: Each player has two boards, but not pieces can be swapped. The tricky bit is that you can choose at any time at which board to move. However, your opponent does not have to reply at the board where you moved! He can keep on playing on the other board! |
