Henry VIII Chess came a suggestion for a variant by Farshad Froogh, using a Simplified chess board (it is 8x7) for a game with 8 pawns, 7 queens and a king. The object being to either capture your opponent's king, or eliminate all your own pieces except for the king. King Henry VIII (King Henry the 8th/Eighth), is named after the former King of England, who was famous for getting rid of his wives.The Henry VIII Chess preset is here:
