Parachute Chess

description Parachute Chess Overview

Parachute Chess is a chess variant in which a player may return captured pieces to the board by placing them on vacant squares. This drop-piece rule gives captured material a continuing role and creates tactical situations that do not occur in orthodox chess. The mechanism resembles the use of captured pieces in shogi, although the exact placement rules and winning conditions depend on the version being played.
