RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Each piece, except for the king, is designed to be able to combine with any other piece. To combine pieces, on your turn, for your move, you are allowed to join your own pieces together by moving them onto the same space. Only two pieces may be combined at a time, and you are not allowed to combine your pieces with your opponent’s pieces. A piece may travel any legal distance to combine but a piece may not pass-through other pieces. You are allowed to combine the same types of pieces if you want. The king may never combine with another piece.
Combined pieces may move as a single piece with the movement power of either piece. For example, if you combine a rook and a bishop, the combined piece can move either like a rook or a bishop. You are allowed to split pieces by only moving 1 of the combined pieces away with that piece’s normal movement, any distance that is legal. You may combine a piece from a split in the same move. You are not allowed to split a piece and have it move with the other piece’s ability. When you split a bishop, that bishop is confined to whatever color it is currently on regardless of the color that bishop began the game on.
There is no limit to the number of times you can combine or split, and you may begin combining on your very first turn. Individual pieces, combined pieces, and splitting pieces may move to capture any other piece like normal. When you capture an opponent’s combined piece, both of their joined pieces are removed from the board.
If a combined piece containing a pawn makes it to the far side of the board, both joined pieces are removed from the board and promoted to a single queen. If you split a pawn from a combination to get promoted, only the pawn is removed from the board. You are not allowed to en passant a combined piece that contains a pawn unless the joined pieces are both pawns.
You are allowed to castle with a combined rook so long as that rook hasn’t moved yet and you follow all the other normal rules for castling. If your pawn moves to any of your starting pawn spaces, it regains its ability to perform the initial 2-step move. The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins.

    Combined pieces are such a huge threat to strategize around, since you can't predict whether they'll capture combined or just split one half off and retain part of the original threat on the board. Rook+Bishop is basically OG Queen but it can split up as a threat. Queen+Knight is just a ball of threatening space on the board with threat tentacles reaching everywhere, and it can just get orbited by the knight instead of giving up a good position to snag a short range threat. So many layers to think around at a high level of play.

    Reminds me of a version I picked up in a games expo called Paco Sako, taking an opponents piece merges them instead and both players can move the combined peice according to the rules for the half they own meaning that the board never actually loses peices. the interesting part is that if you take a merged peice then it replaces your other peice in the merge which then immedietly moves out of the square according to its normal movement rules. this can be chained and can lead to some VERY unexpected checkmates.

Their site is easy enough to find and if the game speaks to anyone I'd say pick it up and support the creators but chessplus works perfectly.

    @Zero chess 'takes' have to be made by free pieces, a union cannot 'take' or move out of the union on its own. if a free piece 'takes' another free piece it creates a union. A chain occurs whenever a free piece 'takes' a piece already in a union. It replaces your first piece in the union and can then immedietly make a free move, should that move result in it 'taking' a second union then the same happens. e.g (there is a union of your knight and your opponents rook, both of you can move it during your turns but only by the movement rules of the one you own, lets say you manage to take the knight/rook union with one of your bishops. the bishop replaces the knight making it a bishop/rook union and the freed knight immediatly moves to any square that a knight can legally move to, lets say the square it moves to has your queen in a union with an oppenents bishop then the knight replaces the queen and you move your queen to any legal space for what is essenially the 3rd move in your turn.) this is indefinete at can go for as long as you can chain unions until you land a free'd piece on an empty square or take a oppents free piece causing a new union. Check and Checkmate (or Sako and Paco according to the rules) is simple, you do not legally have to declare Check but can still do so out of courtesy. this is because it is VERY tough to recognise when a chain would lead to a checkmate so instead its down to the players to recognise if they're king is in danger. once the king has united with another piece (or a player has noticed it obviously cannot avoid that outcome in the next move) then the king is in 'Paco' and the opponent wins. This means that the king CANNOT defend itself sice it taking a piece in self defense would result in a union with the piece causing a checkmate. They mention having a twitch channel on their old kickstarter but I do not know if it is still active. their are a LOT of fine detail rules I'm leaving out because this is already a wall of text, chessvariants .com has the full rules. if you can its always great to support the people behind these by buying an offical set especially when it was created by just one dutchman with a vision of a peaceful chess full of hugging pieces.

    I think that in serious games, most combinations will be temporary: 1) to let pieces go through: if a piece if blocking another, combine it, and then split it again; 2) to carry pieces around the chessboard quickly: you can carry a pawn to the 7th rank, or a knight close to the opponent king and then checkmate him.

And the balanced dynamic between combining pieces to make them more powerful at the cost of few pieces. - You can fianchetto without have to move the b/g pawns - Queens can create Mate-in-1 battery threats very easily - A rook+bishop combo is actually better than a queen BECAUSE you can threaten/attack squares while retaining control of certain squares with the other piece that didn't move

  • @mystcloud8064

    Lol queen + knight is kinda OP because the knight covers the only squares the king cannot escape to when a queen checks a king at minimum distance. The only way to survive checkmate is either to capture the combined queen and knight, or if the check is done diagonally to the king, the king can hide behind it a piece that is orthogonal to the combined queen only if it happens to be there.
