    RULES:
    The object of the game is to checkmate your opponent’s king. Pick a color and each player takes the matching pieces. Each player takes 4 pawns and their king and places them in front of themselves like so, with kings across from each other, and 2 empty tile spaces in between the pawns. The table playing area is made up of a virtual grid of squares that has no boundaries. Each player shuffles their remaining tiles and places them in their own facedown draw deck in front of them. Each player draws the top 3 tiles from their draw deck, looking at their own tiles while keeping them hidden from their opponent.
    The player with the white tiles goes first, then turns alternate. On your turn, you must first move 1 of your tiles in play. Tiles move on as indicated by their chess icon, with the following exceptions. For a refresher of the normal movement of chess pieces, check out this video. You are not allowed to castle, double step move, or en passant. The king is not allowed to move backwards, except when capturing an opponent’s piece. Pieces can only move to an available empty space so long as that space is adjacent to another piece. You are always allowed to capture an enemy piece, even if that would make it so your piece isn’t adjacent to another.
    Pawns promote when they reach the same row as your opponent’s king if you want, but they may only promote to any of your previously captured pieces. If no piece is available, the pawn moves without promoting and can promote on a future turn by moving forward past the row of the king. Moving a king to a row with an opponent does not cause that pawn to promote.
    After you move a piece, you may then play a piece from your hand if you want. Pawns play to an empty space to the right or left of one of your pawns currently in play. All other pieces play to a free space directly behind one of your pawns. You are not allowed to escape check by placing a piece. Placing a pawn on the same row as your opponent’s king does not cause it to promote. After you play a piece, you draw a replacement from your deck. You may never have more than 3 tiles in your hand. Once your draw deck runs out of tiles, you no longer draw.
    If your king is threatened, called check, then you must make a legal move to escape the threat. If you can’t then you lose. If you are unable to make any legal move and your king is not in check, then the game ends in a draw.

    I think the name is a combination of the german words: schach = chess and Kacheln = tiles so i think the English name should be Chess tiles instead of chess me [im german btw]

      Good guess :) Actually it is the conversion of the german noun "Schach" into a verb "schachen" - in English it would be like converting the noun "chess" into the verb "to play chess".

    I have an idea for an April Fools video you can make. I'm late for this year's AF, so there's a lot of time until the next time you can make it, but I've decided to inform you now. Will you make it?

    In a couple of videos you dispense with the "the rules are the same" clip and say "you know what to do, click here." Its amusing and you should do it more.

    is it like German Chess?

    • @heinrichglumpler4777
      @heinrichglumpler4777 5 месяцев назад

      There is no special german variant of Chess - "Schachen" was primarily designed for amateurs by adding some randomness - so you can have all the fun of playing chess without having to read endless books and memorizing countless openings and end game tactics :)

    If I've no pawns on the table, is there a way to place a pawn or are pawns included as "pieces"?

    • @heinrichglumpler4777
      @heinrichglumpler4777 3 месяца назад

      If you have no pawns on the table, you can't place a piece any more.
