RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to have 3 pieces simultaneously attacking their opponent’s king. Lay out the board. Each player takes a set of matching-colored pieces and deck. And places their king on its start square. Each player shuffles their deck and places it face down next to the board. The player with the white pieces goes first, then turns alternate.
On your turn, discard the top card of your deck, then either add that piece to the board by placing it on an empty square that is orthogonally adjacent to any of your pieces already in play, or you may move a piece that is already on the board as indicated by the card.
Pieces move the same as in regular chess, except for these changes, for a refresher of those rules, check out this video. There is no check or checkmate. You may capture pieces like normal, but the king may not move, capture, or be captured. Pawns are not allowed their initial double step move option, therefore, en passant is not allowed. Pawns promote when reaching the other side of the board. Castling is not allowed. You are allowed to move even if your king is attacked.
If, on your turn, you are unable to place a piece or move a piece, then the game ends in a draw. If you run out of cards, flip your discard pile over, without shuffling it, into a new draw deck. After placing or moving a piece, you then count the number of attacks on your opponent’s king. If you have 3 simultaneous attacks, then you win. If both players have 3 simultaneous attacks, then the game ends in a draw.
Missed opportunity to just call it Less

No en passant😢
Solving Chess addiction.
Task failed succesfuly.
I feel like this is less "less" Chess and more "tres" Chess.
More chess : chess but more spaces and more rules
This almost seems like a chess exercise for putting your opponent in check
the waffle house has found it's new host
I now wonder how small the board must be for the first player that moves to always win (the board should be symmetrical, there should be equal material, and the initial position should be mirrored for black and white
Looks like an incredibly dumb and boring game tbh just play regular chess
Less Chess takes all the fun out chess, I recommend no stress chess for a proper less chess done better
A chess mod that makes king even more trash than already it is for no particular reason? Take my money!!!
"En passant is not allowed"
Yeah screw this variation
a nice spin to the formula of chess. but why the box looking kinda sus?

Yo, that simple chess game actually seems really cool. A bit of luck but also strategy. It's hard to explain how that simple game is so cool. ♟
So that's what my friends meant when they told me to play less chess.
