RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. The object of the game is to be the first player to get all their pieces back to their original starting position as if you were playing a game of chess backwards. Layout the board. The player playing as black places the white king on any square on their opponent’s half of the board, then their opponent does the same with the black king, but it may not be adjact to the white king. Place all the other pieces to the side to create the pool. Black goes first, then turns alternate.

On your turn you may perform 1 of 3 actions. 1. You may move one of your opponent’s pieces and place one of your pieces from the pool in its starting square, as if your opponent had captured that piece. 2. You may move one of your own pieces and place an opponent’s piece from the pool on its starting square. 3. You may move one of your pieces to an another square.

Pieces must always be placed from the pool. If the piece doesn’t exist in the pool, then you may not place it. You may not capture an opponent’s piece. Pawns must move backwards towards you.

You are allowed to end your turn with your king in check but you are not allowed to end your turn with your opponent’s king in check. If your opponent’s king is in check, then you must make a move to remove that check. If you are unable to remove the threat of check from your opponent’s king, then you lose the game.

You may only move, an enemy pawn, or create an enemy pawn on a column where no other enemy pawn exists and where no pawn is between it and its owner’s closest row. You are allowed to move your own pawns to the same column if you wish. Pawns are allowed a reverse double-step move on their 4th row if you want as well as reverse en passant. Pawns may never be created, or moved, to their owner’s closest row. You are allowed to demote pieces on their owner’s farthest row to pawns.

You are allowed to reverse castle. Once you do, the rook and king may no longer move. Each player’s Bishops must be created on opposite colored squares. If ever you are in a position where you create a paradox of rules or moves, or, it is impossible for you to make a legal move, then you lose. The first player to get all their pieces back to the original chess starting positions, wins.
