01 — BOARD
TWO FILES NARROWER.
MegaChess compresses classic chess into a 6 × 8 board. Less lateral space means contact happens sooner and every deployment choice matters more.
6×8
// CHESS, REASSEMBLED
BUILDYOURARMY.
A narrower board. A point-limited setup. Familiar pieces mixed with weaponized variants.

01 / RULES
THE BOARD IS YOUR LOADOUT
02 — DEPLOYMENT
PLACE BEFORE PLAY.
Your first two ranks may contain any pieces, including pawns. Your third rank can contain pawns only.
03 — BUDGET
SPEND YOUR POINTS.
Every pre-placed piece consumes points. Build around power pieces, flood the board with pawns, or bring no pawns at all.
04 — PAWNS
NO OPENING LEAP.
A pawn moves like the classic piece, except it can never move two squares forward on its first move.
05 — LIMITS
POWER HAS CAPS.
Each player may deploy one Kamikaze Pawn and up to two Queens.
06 — WIN
THE KING STILL MATTERS.
Under the altered board and loadouts, the core pressure remains familiar: trap the opposing king and close the game.
02 / PIECES
CLASSICS + MUTATIONS
01
Pawn
Classic pawn movement. No two-square first move.
02 / UNIQUE
Kamikaze Pawn
Moves like a pawn. Once per piece, it can eliminate everything in a one-square radius, including itself. Maximum one per player.
03
Rook
A classic rook.
04 / MUTATION
Mega Rook
Moves like a rook and can also move one square diagonally.
05
Bishop
A classic bishop.
06
Knight
A classic knight.
07 / HIGHEST COST
Queen
A classic queen and the most expensive piece in the deployment budget. Maximum two per player.
08
King
The classic king.
03 / SETUP
NO STANDARD OPENING
YOUR FIRST MOVE HAPPENS BEFORE THE CLOCK.
Deployment is part of the game. The first two ranks are open to any piece type. The third rank is reserved for pawns. Points force a tradeoff between board coverage and raw power.
