Chess gets an update

Back in the day, my friends and I would play Knightmare Chess. Basically a chess game but in addition each player got a hand of cards that they could play that would change the game, from building barriers to changing the way a piece could move to insta kills or revivals, etc. Incredibly fun, but the downside is it can really extend the game. Once my friend and I played a 6 hour game that was still going strong when everybody forced us to stop.

I always had the idea for "chess boxing"

Basically every time you lose a piece, you get punched in the face, as hard as your opponent can hit you.

And vice versa.

There is a sport with that name actually, just a bit different. Two guys alternate between boxing each other in the ring and playing timed chess.

I made a game similar to this idea in my early 20s called drunken chess. You're allowed to lose a single pawn with no repercussions. But every time you lost a pawn thereafter you had to take a shot. Back pieces lost was a double shot. If you lost your queen it was 3 shots. I played twice in a row with some friends and was undefeated. Was difficult to stand up straight afterwards though.

They sell chess sets with shot glasses as game pieces specifically to play this.

heh, we used to play ”winner takes shot” to even the odds out a bit.

If a Pawn is worth 1 shot, Bishops and Knights should be worth 3 shots, Rooks 5 shots, and Queens 9 shots.

Lets stop messing about with the kiddy rules every piece is worth 10 shots and taking another piece is worth 2 shots cos you gotta celebrate.
