Jiu Jitsu Chess

Post by Chris Rice » Sat Jun 08, 2019 5:38 pm

I'm guessing most of us wouldn't be up to this version of the game which is very courteous and violent! The board was set up correctly, king and queen on their correct squares and I didn't see any illegal moves. The game was a Scandinavian just as it was in the Harry Potter film The Philosopher's Stone but this one contained many poor chess moves and many great Ju Jitsu ones. Captures were made in various different ways, ways that looked very painful until we ended up with bare kings. In Ju Jitsu chess clearly you can't just agree a draw as the two kings fought to the death.
