  • Bughouse Chess (Hawaii Rules)
    Bughouse Chess (Hawaii Rules) What is Bughouse Chess Bughouse is a chess variation played on two adjoining chessboards by two teams, each comprised of two people. The pieces are set up so that each team member is in possession of an opposite colored chess army. The game is typically played at a fast time control (such as 5 minute, games). Time is kept track by using two chess clocks -- one clock for each chess board, facing so all players can see them. The game is not touch move but rather "clock move", that is, the move is not considered to be made until the player hits his/her clock. Object of the Game Similar to standard chess to goal is to checkmate your opponent(s). Checkmate on either one of the boards results in the end of the game. A time forfeit on either on of the boards also ends the game - with the team of the player who forfeits on time losing the game. If both flags are down the game is a draw. One also does not have to declare check. If a player leaves his/her king in check then the opponent may capture it and claim a win for his/her team. Pieces The pieces are the same as those used in Standard Chess. Rules The game is played by two teams of two players each. This requires that two chessboards be placed side by side with partners sitting on the same side of the table (see above). For each team, one player plays with white pieces and the other plays with black.

INTRODUCCION El conjunto del juego de ajedrez con el tablero y las piezas colocadas en posición inicial nos hace recordar un campo de batalla, definido por unos límites en el cual se enfrentan dos ejércitos claramente diferenciados prestos a entrar en combate. Las 64 casillas por donde ha de discurrir la confrontación están bien diferenciadas, siendo de color claro la mitad de ellas y la otra mitad, de color oscuro. Nos puede correr la imaginación con multitud de batallas disputadas en este mundo claramente definido, haciéndonos retroceder en el tiempo donde la caballerosidad y las reglas estrictas de lucha marcaban las pautas de la batalla. 1. Piezas de Shatranj A través del mismo nos llega un modelo de sociedad militar donde se reflejan las grandes gestas (la heroica coronación del peón y su transformación después de todas las penalidades pasadas) y miserias que se producen (la perdición de un gran ejercito debido a la rápida acción de un comando suicida).
