Benedict Chess

  • Invented by Dan Troyka in 2002
  • Pieces move normally but only to empty squares. No captures.
  • Enemy pieces you attack from the new square convert to your color. Only the piece you move converts enemy pieces.
  • Win by converting the opponent's king

Play against a strong Benedict Chess engine designed by me. You get to play White which is considered to have a strong advantage.
