help Scottish Progressive Chess FAQ

How does Scottish Progressive Chess change the number of moves per turn?

Players make consecutively increasing numbers of moves on each turn. The move count therefore grows as the game progresses instead of staying at one move per player.

What happens when a player gives check in Scottish Progressive Chess?

In this variant, check ends the current sequence of moves. This differs from Italian progressive chess, where the sequence is associated with checkmate instead.

How is Scottish Progressive Chess different from Italian progressive chess?

Both variants use progressively longer move sequences. Scottish Progressive Chess stops a sequence at check, while Italian progressive chess uses checkmate as the stopping condition.

Is Scottish Progressive Chess still played on a normal chessboard?

The defining change is the turn structure, not a replacement board. It uses consecutively increasing move counts and the special rule that check ends a sequence.
