RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. The object of the game is to either checkmate or spellmate your opponent.
Shuffle the spell deck and deal 2 cards facedown to each player. Players look at their own spell cards but keep them hidden from their opponent. At the start of your turn, if you hold less than 5 spell cards in your hand, then you draw 1 spell card. On your turn, Instead of moving a piece, you may cast a spell, cancel a spell, or counter a spell.
To cast a spell, lay the card you wish to cast faceup on the table and indicate which piece is performing the spell. There are 3 spell caster ranks: Apprentice, Conjurer, and Wizard. Pawns are rank apprentice. Knights, Bishops, and Rooks are rank Conjurer. Queens and Kings are rank Wizard.
Each spell card indicates the caster’s location on a 5 by 5 board. The highlighted squares indicate the range of the spell. The Apprentice can only target the lightest colored squares. The Conjurer can target the two lighter shades of colored squares. The Wizard can target any colored square. Spells can affect 1 or more pieces on the board. Whenever multiple pieces are within range of a spell, then the piece with the lowest rank is targeted first. Ranks from lowest to highest are: Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, King. If multiple pieces of the same rank are targeted, then the caster picks which ones are targeted. Spells do not affect friendly pieces in their range.
After you cast your spell, your turn ends but the spell is not resolved, and no pieces are removed yet. Your opponent’s turn begins with drawing a card and they can now use their turn to either cancel the spell, counter it, sacrifice, or ignore it. You may not move a targeted piece out of range to protect it.
To cancel a spell, the defending player must play an opposing spell of the opposite element of equal or greater value as indicated by the spell card’s value number in the top right. 1 is the highest value and 9 is the lowest. If the spell is cancelled, then discard both spell cards and nothing happens. Pieces may use any spell card to cancel with, regardless of that targeted piece’s caster rank.
To counter a spell, you must play a card of with the same name that is of a different element. When you do, you discard the original spell and now your piece that had been targeted, uses the spell you played for the counter back against your opponent, targeting the lowest rank piece. If you had countered a spell that was targeting multiple pieces, then the highest rank piece is the one to perform the counter spell. Your turn ends and your opponent goes, with the same options to respond. Card levels 7 to 9 cannot be countered.
To sacrifice, move a lower rank piece than what your opponent’s spell is currently targeting into the spell’s range to force the spell to recalculate its targets. When done correctly, the lower rank piece will be hit instead or a higher rank one. Your turn ends and the spell resolves by removing the proper pieces from the board in the targeted area and the spell is discarded. In order to sacrifice, the piece must use its traditional chess move and not a spell move.
The final option is to ignore it. In this case, after drawing, remove the targeted pieces from play and discard your opponent’s spell. Then you perform the rest of your turn like your normally would. You are allowed to ignore a spell even if you could have cancelled, countered, or sacrificed.
Whenever your King is targeted by a spell, it is considered to be in check. If you cannot protect the King from this spell then it is spellmate and your opponent wins. There are 2 special spells in each element that allows the King to escape check or checkmate. Only the King can use those cards to escape capture.
Once a card is played you may not take it back to do something different. If the draw deck runs out of cards, do not shuffle it into a new draw deck, but continue playing without drawing new cards. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Maybe if I play this really well, I can get 50 points.

I think we might have a chance against the best grandmasters on these variant since the rules have become much complicated making the calculations more than the grandmasters can fathom
To be honest, some of them might have a difficult time with variants.
For example, I remember how Nakamura struggled to understand 5Dchess. Not sure if he persisted and got better, he is crazy good at other games like minesweeper, but it was odd to see him struggle with a chess variant I thought it was easy to pick up.
Some masters like this sort of stuff, like, Eric Rosen is a great example of mastering variants, he is probably the GOAT at Duck Chess. He can manage to combine his chess lessons and learn new ones from variants pretty easily.

Cool, could it work with 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel on it?
It can, as the spells work on the current timeline, I guess?
If it can I'd PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN
I hope wizard will not learn how to cast spells through time and timelines
That would be an amazing DLC tbh. Those spells aren't hard to code, and there could even be new ones, that target across time
Might have some fun.😈😈😈
Feels like Knightmare Chess lite, I like it!
Thank you!
"1 is the highest value and 9 is the lowest"
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Just make an agreement rule where 1 is the lowest and 9 is the highest if the number rank is problem for you
he only says the official rules
@@The_Dr_Fate right... But IF that "official rules" is a problem, then you can edit it however you like as long not changing the original way of the game
Wait until you learn about how racing works.

wizard chess is the entire of the spell chess because wizards make spells you know?
Can you force the spell to "recalculate", resulting in check/checkmate once the spell resolves?
It doesn't seem possible, given the way the spell targeting mechanics work. What sort of situation are you thinking of in which that might happen?
I feel like since a player is unable to move a king into check normally, you can't move your king into spell mate
The term "Spell Cards" reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! Also, I wish all other different versions of chess have special rules. I mean give Super Mario Chess special rules, such as giving all the pieces special abilities based on character and item.
3:55 Couldn't the king just, like, normal-chess-movement one step to the right to get out of spellmate...?
No, because you are specifically not allowed to move pieces to have them escape a spell.
Aw man, I hoped the pieces would be alive. like harry potters wizards chess
That comes later. The -magic- very advanced technology needs to catch up first.
Can we capture the caster with a non targeted piece for protection?
Where can we buy it from

Have you been creative with chess versions, Jim?

Just don’t let Ron play or you’ll have to buy a new set of pieces.
Don't let any green-toothed guys with candy corn teeth near the board, either.
