RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules check out this video. Using paper or the Triple G Games web program, players may only perform moves based on how much power they have.
At the start of the game, each player begins with 0 power. At the beginning of each of your turns, for each pawn, and promoted pawn, you have in play, you receive + 0.5 power. Tap the app to give yourself the correct amount of power based on your pawn count. You may not have more than 10 total power.
In order to move a piece, you must spend 1 full power per space it moves. If you don’t have enough power to move a piece, you may not move it. Half-powers cannot be used. You are not allowed to move a piece a distance that is greater than the amount of power you have available. Therefore, you do not check or checkmate a king, if you would not have enough power on your next turn.
A Knight always uses exactly 3 power to move and castling requires enough power to move both the king and rook the total number of spaces, either 4 or 5 power depending on which side you castle.
If you don’t have enough power to perform a move, or you may choose not to move, then your turn is skipped and your opponent goes. If you are in check and don’t have enough power to move your king, then you lose. If both players run out of pawns and promoted pawns, then the game ends in a draw.

Bro took getting people's taxes to whole other level 💀
“Joey, you can't take my queen!”
“YEAH, I CAN! I HAVE 5 MILLION PO-
“Joey, you cheater!”
This is why I choose the Vikings as my civilization because of their 5% resource gathering boost
Interesting, I thought it would cost the amount of points of that pieces to move them. eg. Bishops/Knights use 3, Rooks use 6, etc. but I guess this works too.
are rooks 6 or 5 ?
rooks are 5 not 6
@@nicehandsomefruit my bad lol
@@ItsPForPea This makes me think of a variant where the Rooks are replaced with 6-value pieces
Rutabaga Chess
Chess but Rooks are replaced by Rutabagas. Rutabaga is a BR2 (Bishop that can also moves like a Rook limited to 2 squares)
If you want an asymmetry variant then you can replace the Queen with a 7-value piece like a Dragon King. Dragon is a RF (moves like a Rook or step one square diagonally)
If you want a variant where each minor piece is worth half a Rook:
DemiRook Chess
Chess but Knights are replaced with Crabriders (fbsNN), Bishops are replaced with Panzers (B2)
If you want to pit this army against the Fabulous FIDEs then you'd need to replace the Queen with a 11-value piece like a Hamircar (fsbNNNhhQ)
This is the first time ive ever heard of this! Looks pretty fun
Can you cancel a check by killing a pawn so the opponent doesn't have enough power in the next turn?
I don’t think so because capturing a pawn doesn’t take away power, only prevents them from getting more. If taking a pawn prevented them from getting enough to threaten you on their next turn, than it wasn’t check to begin with
i think it's possible, let's say i have a queen right next to your king, 2 pawns and 0 points
-if you don't take my queen or escape check otherwise, i would get a point on my next turn and be able to capture your king
-if you take a pawn away, i would only get 0.5 points which is not enough to move
since there is a threat of your king getting captured, you are in check and can cancel it
@@THEDeathWizard87 "If taking a pawn prevented them from getting enough to threaten you on their next turn, than it wasn’t check to begin with" Actually, yes, it is still Check because the threat of capture is still there, but it stops being Check the moment you wouldn't receive enough Power to capture the King because that removes the threat of capture.
Hm. If players can actually _pass_ turns in POP Chess, then that would affect the strategies for zugzwang positions, as the concept of zugzwang is based on the fact that normally, your opponent _cannot_ pass.
I love this! I have to try this version of chess someday!
do you still have to make a move if you have at least 1 power?
nope, moving is optional
@@TripleSGames The hard cap of 10 stored power is an interesting balancing choice. Even if the most power usable in a turn is 7 (one board edge to the other), the cap prevents pulling a High Roller, farming power for a few turns, then steamrolling with back to back max distance moves.
(Context: High Roller is a seasonal boss fight in Toontown Corporate Clash, and players quickly found the optimal strat of his last phase is to get him down to one remaining partner, use low-cost/free Toonups to save pips until you reach 40-ish, kill the final partner to make him vulnerable, then everyone spam as many 4-Pip Dice damage mults in one turn as available before doing a quad Grand Piano to one-cycle him. "Program Advance: Final Taps!")
I knew it, Triple S is just making these ideas himself.
It's like someone looked at Chess and said, 'You know what, the game is _themed_ around medieval warfare, but does it model the impact of fielding peasant levies on feudal _economies?'_
I am both impressed and appalled that you can fit something this close to a 4X game inside of Chess with so few extra rules.
Is this triple s chess variant
Tesla Chess
- Moving a piece diagonally costs √2 power per space
- Moving a knight costs √5 power
I'm confused. How do you gain power beyond the first 4 initial?
You get power at the beginning of each turn, not just the beginning of the game.
How do you start the game?????????????????????????
when the changes are actually changes instead of a whole new game
What?
Woohoo! You got a website!
Looks like the App could use an undo button.
Chess with a mana system. Fascinating
Show how to play catte Vietnamese card game please 😄
Where was the app
slay the spire chess
I have 1.2 million power in pawns of power!!!
Is it possible to gain power back?
Yes, you get power at the start of each turn, based on how many of your pawns are alive.
*YOOOOOOOOO*
I got the legendary hero lucky I have 1000 power 😎
"If both players run out of pawns and promoted pawns, AND power, the game ends in a draw."
what
I have 80 million power in chess.
bro did this vid to promote his app 💀
yea because its his channel
whats wrong with that?
What's wrong with promoting his app in his OWN channel?
It’s just a website, with no ads on it.
I think whoever created this variant really hates knights.
Fr, if vertical and diagonal movement is 1 power each, then a knight move should be 2.
Alternate theory: in playtesting, they realized that the knight was too powerful. Thus, as a nerfing measure, they increased its movement cost.
Not that I know how good the knight is in this game; I've never played it.
Please do hoard the hams , shoutout to haminations and pin me (orignal)
Chess but math😭
