Random Chess Openings
Warning! The following isn't tested! My greatest problem is not having anyone to play chess with, so.... One of the things I don't like about the game is that it always start the same. In a card game at least every new game seem different. So I decided to develop these rules. All you need is a deck of cards.
Divide them into three piles. The first one will be A-8 of spades, the K and Q of spades, and the 9, 10, and J of spades and clubs, for a total of 16 cards. The other pile is made up of a similar pile, containing the entire suits of hearts and the 9, 10, J of diamonds. All the other cards, the third pile, is unused.
The game begins with no pieces on the board. White uses the red cards, black uses the black ones. Each shuffle their own pile and let their opponent cut them. White then draws his first card. If it is an A-8, he may place a pawn on rank 1. 9 will be a bishop, 10 a rook, J a knight, Q the queen, and K the king. A pawn can move forward 2 squares while on rank 1 only. En passent then can actually be used on a promoting pawn! The drawn card is placed on the third pile. Black does the same.
The one problem I see with this is managing plays on the board with pieces going on the board. If there is 1-2 pieces on the first rank, you MUST draw a card. If there is 6-8 pieces, you MUST move. 3-5, you have a choice to choose whether to move or to draw.
