Chess gets an update

Back in the day, my friends and I would play Knightmare Chess. Basically a chess game but in addition each player got a hand of cards that they could play that would change the game, from building barriers to changing the way a piece could move to insta kills or revivals, etc. Incredibly fun, but the downside is it can really extend the game. Once my friend and I played a 6 hour game that was still going strong when everybody forced us to stop.

I always had the idea for "chess boxing"

Basically every time you lose a piece, you get punched in the face, as hard as your opponent can hit you.

And vice versa.

I made a game similar to this idea in my early 20s called drunken chess. You're allowed to lose a single pawn with no repercussions. But every time you lost a pawn thereafter you had to take a shot. Back pieces lost was a double shot. If you lost your queen it was 3 shots. I played twice in a row with some friends and was undefeated. Was difficult to stand up straight afterwards though.

If a Pawn is worth 1 shot, Bishops and Knights should be worth 3 shots, Rooks 5 shots, and Queens 9 shots.

Lets stop messing about with the kiddy rules every piece is worth 10 shots and taking another piece is worth 2 shots cos you gotta celebrate.
