@chesscom Does this variant of #chess exist?
An interesting variant might be playing a game with manadatory premoves.
Normal time controls. Your view of the opponent’s last move is masked. I call it #guesschess.
To play guess chess over the board you could write down you move and then give the ticket to your opponent. They would do the same. Then both reveal the tickets and the pieces are moved.
Combines elements of a card games, battleship, chess.😎thoughts?
**If White playing first in the round is too one sided, you could make White’s first move ‘transparent’ and then begin the round of premoves Black then White / Black then White. Similar to how a tennis tie breaker works, player A serves 1 point, then 2 points thereafter beginning with player B.
