Rifle Chess

description Rifle Chess Overview

Rifle Chess is a chess variant in which a capturing piece removes an opposing piece but remains on its original square instead of moving to the captured piece's square. This capture rule changes the usual relationship between attack, occupation, and mobility, because a piece can eliminate another piece from a distance while retaining its former position. The variant is intended for players familiar with standard chess who want a substantially different tactical and strategic system.
