description Madrasi Chess Overview
Madrasi chess is a chess variant that changes the interaction between pieces of the same type. When one piece attacks an enemy piece of the same kind, the attacked piece becomes paralysed and cannot move, while the attacking piece is also subject to the same rule when the attack is mutual. The variant is associated with the problem-composition tradition and is played using the ordinary chessboard and pieces.
help Madrasi Chess FAQ
What is the paralysis rule in Madrasi Chess?
A piece is paralysed when it attacks an enemy piece of the same type. The attacking piece is also paralysed while that attack remains in place.
Can a paralysed piece capture in Madrasi Chess?
No. A paralysed piece cannot move, so it cannot capture or give a normal moving attack until the paralysis is removed.
Does Madrasi Chess use the standard chess board?
Yes, Madrasi Chess is normally played on the standard 8 by 8 chessboard with the usual chess pieces. Its main change is the same-type attack interaction.
Which pieces can paralyse each other in Madrasi Chess?
Pieces of the same kind can create paralysis, such as a rook attacking a rook or a knight attacking a knight. A bishop attacking a queen does not trigger the rule because the piece types differ.
