description Monster Chess Overview

Monster Chess, also called Super King, is an asymmetric chess variant in which one side controls a king and a small number of pawns while the other side controls a standard chess army. To offset the material imbalance, the lone king may make two consecutive moves during its turn. The variant is designed as a handicap game, with the stronger side attempting to checkmate the enhanced king before it can exploit its extra movement.
