Hormuz Chess

chesshormuz

Chess of Hormuz is a tactical chess variant played on an 8×9 board where the center rank is blocked by indestructible walls, leaving only a narrow 2-file gap open in the middle. ​With both flanks permanently sealed, standard forces and elite fairy pieces—the Amazon, Archbishop, Chancellor, and Centaur—must fight head-on through a brutal central choke-point. There is no castling, and the Kings start aligned directly down the open channel.

Variant in the spirit of Hoppel-Poppel and New Zealand, rooks capture like bishops, bishops capture like rooks. In the standard piece set piece at the bottom is how the piece moves, at the top is how it captures.
