The board is a regular 8x8 board with 3x8 rectangles hanging off each side. Each player has pieces as normal on the back 2 rows of these rectangles. Each player takes it in turns to move as normal, going anticlockwise around the board. You cannot move diagonally across the inward corners (imagine the piece moving slowly. A quarter of it goes across a non-square, so this move is illegal). All rules are as normal but for check and checkmate. You do not HAVE to move out of check or checkmate, nor do these win a player anything. Instead, the important part is if someone takes another players king. If this happens, that player loses all their pieces (they're all removed from the board). This continues until only one person's king is left. He is the winner.

If you only have white and black pieces available, play as 2 person teams with whites opposite whites and blacks opposite blacks. If any of the 4 kings on the board are taken, that team loses.
