Why Andernach? :)

 


PG 3.5 Andernach*, Breton Adverse**, Extinction***
* Andernach chess is a chess variant in which a piece making a capture (except kings) changes colour. 
** When a piece is captured, another piece of same nature belonging to captured side (if any) must also disappear.
*** A side is in check if it is threatened to no more have a kind of piece it owned in the diagram position. Promotions to King are allowed.

* If one side makes a move with a piece type “x” (black, white, neutral, half-neutral, etc., King included), the other side cannot answer immediately by moving a piece of the same type “x”.
