Figured we should give this a try.

Basically, the left side and right side don't exist.
For example:

BLACK A B C D E F G H 8 . N B . K B N R 8 7 P P P P P P P P 7 6 . . . . . . . . 6 5 . . . . . . . . 5 4 . . Q B B Q . . 4 3 . . . . . . . . 3 2 P P P P P P P P 2 1 . N B . K B N R 1 A B C D E F G H WHITE
In normal chess, the Queen can't capture the other one.
In this variant, though...
BLACK A B C D E F G H 8 . N B . K B N R 8 7 P P P P P P P P 7 6 . . . . . . . . 6 5 . . . . . . . . 5 4 < < Q B B Q < < 4 3 . . . . . . . . 3 2 P P P P P P P P 2 1 . N B . K B N R 1 A B C D E F G H WHITE
The borders don't exist on the left or right side.
If the north and south sides were gone, it'd be checkmate at the start of the game

This test game is to see whether it will work.

In most chess games, one person plays against another.
However, for this test, I'll let all members control Black.

For example, Dr. Egregious can control Black's movement in the first turn, Shane can control the second turn of Black, Kushagra controls Black's third turn, and so on.

Also, if Dr. Egregious and KarjamP both post their move before the movement is made, Dr. Egregious' move is made and KarjamP's cancelled.
If Shane and Dr. Time both post their move before the movement is made, Shane's move is made and Dr. Time's move is cancelled.
Something like that.

First one to post has that movement made, in simple terms (I hope).

Sandwich posting?

Dr. Egregious · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:07:03 pm »

It's a slang term:

My post
Someone else's post
My post

That's sandwich posting. It's not a problem in most threads like the one for your game versus Karjam--since that should mostly be you two alternating--but in cases like this one where several of us are sharing the black pieces, I felt it'd be selfish of me to hog all of the black moves.

Shane · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:11:24 pm »

Ah.
Thanks for the clarification.

You might want to take that back; I've been playing off of the record rather than the board, and I just noticed that they don't match: your bishop on c4 should be on b5.
