RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes. Layout two boards next to each other, in the same orientation, but only setup the pieces on 1 of them. After a piece completes a move, it is transferred to the same relative space on the other board. This transfer is not optional and must be performed after every move. In order for pieces to move, the piece’s move must be legal on the board it starts the turn on AND the space it is transferred to on the other board must be vacant. Therefore, capturing a piece is only available on the board the piece starts the turn on. After capture, the capturing piece transfers to the other board the same way a non-capture move would. The king may not perform a move if its transfer to the other board would put the king in check. Castling if performed as normal with both the king and rook transferring boards at the end of the turn. En Passant is allowed like normal. An alternative way to play, is to have the black pieces start the game on the other board. You can also choose to allow a null moves so that instead of moving a piece on the board it starts the turn on it may instead stay in its current position and transfer to the other board. However, a king may not escape check with a null move. Decide beforehand if this rule will be used. The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins.
