help Dynamo Chess FAQ

How does Dynamo Chess handle captures?

Dynamo Chess does not normally remove an enemy piece by landing on its square. Instead, pieces push or pull other pieces, potentially forcing them off the edge of the board.

What happens when a piece is pushed off the board?

A piece forced beyond the board's edge is removed from play. This makes the board boundary a central part of the tactics.

Who invented Dynamo Chess?

Dynamo Chess was invented in the late twentieth century. It belongs to the family of chess variants that replace ordinary capture with displacement.

Why are board edges important in Dynamo Chess?

The edges act like tactical hazards because a push or pull can eliminate a piece without a direct capture. Positioning near a boundary can therefore be dangerous even when a piece is not under ordinary attack.
