This is exactly the same game as M-Chess by Stan Druben to be found on this server. A 'poor' for generating an exact copy of an existing game.

Actually, M-Chess is a different game. In that game, the King is just a King no matter where it is, its powers of movement never being affected by its file. In this game, there is no singular King. Instead, any non-Pawn piece in the e-file is a King, and the game is lost when a player has no non-Pawn pieces on the e-file or when one King is captured.

Oh, but it makes all the difference. In Morph Chess, one tries to get as many Kings as possible. Doing so is dangerous in this game.
