Rules
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Each player rolls a 20-sided die, and the high roll goes first. Reroll on a tie. Before play begins, whoever is going second, rolls two 8-sided dice 5 times. If they do not roll an 8 at least once, then they immediately lose the game. During the game, on your turn, after you move, you and your opponent each roll a 10-sided die and compare the numbers. If you rolled a 9 and your opponent rolled a 0, then you instantly win the game. If your roll is equal to or greater than 5 times your opponent’s roll, or if they rolled a 0 and you rolled a 1 through 8, then promote any one of your pawns to a queen. If you do not have any pawns on the board, then you may add a queen to any of your vacant pawn starting squares. Queens promoted or placed in this way are not taken from the pool of pieces your opponent has captured.
If your roll is equal to or greater than 4 times your opponent’s roll, then your opponent must skip their next turn and you move again. If your opponent is in check when their turn is skipped, then you win the game. If your roll is equal to or greater than 3 times your opponent’s roll, then you may add any piece your opponent has already captured to any starting location for that piece type on your side of the board. Bishops are allowed to be on the same color.
If your roll is greater than your opponents but less than 3 times greater, then you may add any pawn piece your opponent has already captured to any vacant location on your 2nd row. Pawns placed in this way are still allowed their double step move option and en passant is allowed like normal. If your rolls are equal, then nothing happens. If your roll is less than your opponent, then you pick any piece of theirs that you have captured and return it to any of your opponent’s vacant starting squares of the same piece type.
Only one effect maximum may happen after each roll and it must be the one with the highest value. If it is impossible to perform an effect, then that effect is skipped, and nothing happens. If the roll calculation is a fraction, round down. The perspective of the end of turn rolling effect is always from the player who just performed a move. You must perform the action even if you don’t want to. Check and checkmate are only calculated after rolling.
When you checkmate your opponent, you each roll a 12-sided die. If they roll a 12 and you roll a 1 then they win the game instead of you. If not, then you win.
I don't see any thing related to Yu-Gi-Oh
Dungeon Chess Monsters looks cursed.
How to turn chess into a dice massacre…
This is hilarious, what great symbolism 😂
Bishops on the same color = diagonal battery
Question: Say a pawn is removed from the board due to being promoted. Can the pawn be brought back by the effects of the dice role, or is it considered removed from the game?
Speaking as a long-time YGO fan and former Master Duel player, I can confirm that "a game with lots of unnecessarily complicated calculations and finnicky rules which is heavily dependent on RNG and has a not-insignificant chance of ending before one player has even had a chance to play properly" is an excellent description of modern YGO.
too… much… numbers…
I prefer the name "Gambler's Chess", easier to understand.
I feel that calling this Calvin Ball chess is more appropriate
Chaos chess
Rules are the same as the regular YuGiOh, except for these changes
No way that chess made a crossover with yugioh
But isn’t the 0 treated as a 10…?
"It's time to D-D-D-D… d-d-d-duel!"
Lmao
Hopefully, you'll give Master Duel another chance. I know sometimes Yugioh can feel like a one-sided game but not all of them are like what you've experienced before. FTK is a rare thing in ranked and most of them are not luck based. Sometimes you just gotta keep playing and expect that you'll sometimes lose, and sometimes it feels unfair.
…
Geez man… Sorry Yu-Gi-Oh put such a bad impression on you that you invented a whole chess variation for it. 😅
Make a video how to play "bagchal" nepali chess
Good video but… I don't think I will play this version of chess, anyway, thanks for the information 😎👍
Monopoly Mario movie
Gamble chess
The '0' on a d10 actually represents the number 10, not 0
I have a question, could you cover the game "Escape from site 19"?
Mannadium Prime-Heart has a special defensive ability that stops your opponent from targeting it with dice effects. No pawns facing Mannadium Prime-Heart will be safe due to its multiple energy blades! Find this powerful piece in Cyberstorm Access, releasing on 4th of May!
WTF
Hi!
Idk we should add Forbiden and Limited dice rolls
I like that chess
Dragon Ball chess: Bishops are saiyans and can go super upon reaching the opponent's back row. They gain the ability to move like a queen or a knight, and can instead of moving use a chi blast to destroy all enemy pieces within a 3 square radius, including pawns that just moved out. Destroying the opponent's king using a chi blast is dishonorable, though, and loses you the game.
Short version :
Beginning : Both players roll d20 | Winner goes first | Loser must roll 10 d8 | If Loser doesn't roll at least one 8, they lose
In-game : After each turn, Both Players roll a d10
Active Player rolls 9 AND Passive Player rolls 0 : Active Player wins
Both Players roll the same number : nothing happens
Passive player rolls 0 : Active Player queens a pawn of their colo(u)r anywhere in the board | If this can't be done, Active Player places a queen of their colo(u)r on their 2nd row
Divide the roll of the Active Player by the roll of the Passive Player and round down the result
5 or more : Active Player queens a pawn of their colo(u)r anywhere in the board | If this can't be done, Active Player places a queen of their colo(u)r on their 2nd row
4 : Passive Player skips their next turn
3 : Active player takes a captured piece of their colo(u)r and places it on a possible starting square if possible
1 or 2 : Add a captured pawn of your colo(u)r to the 2nd rank if possible
0 : Add a captured piece of the opponent's colo(u)r on a possible starting square if possible
On checkmate : Both Players roll a d12 | If the Active Player's roll – the Passive Player's roll = -11, Passive Player wins | Else, Active Player wins
not gonna lie, if there weren't the instant win results it could be a playable game
I am speachless…
Yes, finally I always wanted to learn
How and where do I submit my board game ideas? I have a lot that is so much better than this and is not confusing. Lol. Games with simple rules but deep strategy.
All this is is a person remembering old names that had good meaning to them just so he can use it’s popularity to keep literally surviving on YouTube as a channel because they can’t think if there own names or games because A this is fake there is no such real game known as “YuGiOh chess “ literally making stuff up PLEASE stop defiling great games if you don’t know what there are about because this has NOTHING to do with YuGiOh
There are cards in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh that have names which are the same as chess pieces. (King's Knight and Queen's Knight, for two)!
I was expecting both players to have assembled decks with those cards! The playing of Jack's Knight or Queen's Double would cause a random surprise pawn promotion to that respective piece without having to go to the opponent's back rank . Grave Robber can retrieve one piece that your opponent has captured and return it to the board in its starting position if that space is not occupied by another piece. The Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl would take the place of the bishop in the starting space next to the queen for the girl and next to the king for the original Dark Magician , with each Dark Magician having the ability to also move one space on the rank or file. Reinforcements would place a captured pawn on a pawn's starting space, with that pawn's original two space move available to that piece.
I summon White Queen in defense mode
Did you make this yourself? Just curious. I can taste the salt from here still 🧂 😂
I got so excited only to be so disappointed
“Sorry, Yug, doing this Brooklyn accent makes it difficult to concentrate on chess games.”

This is the worst variant of chess 😂
You lost at rolling 8… wins!?!
my grandfather's gambit doesn't have any pathetic moves
Pawn of Greed, anyone?
Bonus points if you say “it’s YOUR MOVE”
