WHAT THE FU..? Strange Chess Rules?!?

Playing chess without seeing the board, or playing lightning fast matches (5 minutes plus 10 second for every movement you have done).

Blind chess - play without having an actual board to look at
blitz - Blitzschach - just act, don't take time to think about your moves.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

I am not good in both blindfold and blitz. Actually I more enjoy analysis, endgame studies, chess programming, etc, rather than playing chess myself. :)

Beat this one in a minute to know if you can blitz.. :)

I know I can, but I tried anyway just for fun.
I bodged it badly, but fortunately it doesn't really matter. I'd forgotten that it cheats though! I claim a point! >:(

(my last move was Bxf7)

It took me around 10 minutes. 1 minute is insane... :)
Also, the my figures were hard to distinguish on my crappy LCD.

I remember having won a game against a friend using four moves, first moving my King pawn, then the bishop to one side, the queen to the other, and finishing with the queen protected with the bishop.

But other than that, I cannot play that fast. In some chess tournaments I have seen a two vs two chess game. You sit with your partner to your side, both facing the contrary. One plays with white, the partner with black. As soon as you eat a piece of your opponent, you put it to the side, and your partner can pick it up and put it in his board as his piece. You have only one minute, and as soon as one of the clocks (yours or your partner's) reach it both lose. It is quite an experience to see it.

"En Passant" translates to "In Passing" in English, but I bet it'd be named "clotheslineing" like in American Football if it'd been invented lately:P

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

Arthur, most English speakers call it "en passant" anyway.

Might have been worth the try but if i was black i would then have either taken the bishop on d3 or used "en passent" to kill the pawn on f4 and after that the queen would have been troubled again, of course she could then be moved back to f2 but i didn't see any use in having the queen there trapped inside the own rows.

Mithrandir:
Nice board but editing,uploading,relinking takes far too much time for my taste;).
[edit] oops, i see that you already had moved on your board sorry!:( (ignore my scheme above, our bishop sits(unfortunately) on e2 not f1)

Dennis, i'm sorry but i'm not quite sure white can move twice in a row ;) (i moved last and it was black's turn)

Np. I also guess it's partly my fault because my first move was with the black, then i decided to go to the light side.

Mithrandir, your diagram looks good, but it's too troublesome to edit and upload the bitmap. I think it would be cool it ML made a new tag [chess-diagram]...[/chess-diagram], which you would use just like now we use "pre", and that will render a nice graphical diagram.

Hmmm.. Your black move was OK, while your white move was a blunder.. This suggests that your nature belongs with the dark side.. :)

This thread is the spawn of Satan. That's what's wrong with it.

You call playing chess in a thread about chess rules 'totally derailed'? :o

Hmm.. I can understand when people can be annoyed by political or religious threads, but to oppose chess is something new to me.. ???

Derezo, playing chess has nothing to do with the original question about en passant.

Yes it does, Chess rules (en passant) are chess related. So is chess!
Not off topic at all, especially since the original question was answered. This is one of the most logical topic changes after that.

It hasn't derailed. The link in my sig is the definition of a derailed thread - from a milk drinking contest to discussing how the earth could be shaped likea torus. De. Railed. Derailed. ;D
