Kriegspiel

Submitted by EJCC on Fri, 23/03/2012 - 22:42

Kriegspiel is a great game for three people and an audience. The audience has the most fun. It's like a cross between chess and battleships.

You're White, you have a chessboard and a set of chess pieces, your opponent has their own chessboard and pieces and plays black. You sit back to back. An umpire lets you know when your opponent has moved, if there is a capture or a check, and keeps a score. And that's more or less it!

Dr.Dave's Further Adventures at East Devon

Submitted by DrDave on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 23:22

East Devon Congress, Open Section, 2007

Four games and no wins is so-so, but the blunder count was reassuringly
low, and I had a good attempt at winning a couple of games, including
the one against Helbig, who was the strongest player I faced. So,
progress of sorts.

{Wretchedly got a bye in the first round. Both players were careless of their
pawns in this game!}
