description Italian Progressive Chess Overview
Italian Progressive Chess is a chess variant where players sequentially increase the number of moves they can make per turn, starting with one move for White and alternating. The defining rule specific to the Italian variation is that checks to the opponent's king are strictly prohibited unless the check immediately results in a checkmate. This restriction creates a tactical game distinct from Scottish Progressive Chess, where standard checks are permitted during a turn sequence.
