Assassin Chess
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once
Jed Stone, 1982. Win by checkmating the last piece (not pawn). Capturing is compulsory, and performed as in Rifle Chess. Pawns move one square orthogonally and do not capture. Only kings and knights can capture pawns.
These are simple illustrations rather than strong opponents.
