Bughouse variant

Bughouse variant: When you decide to drop a partner's captured piece on your board as your move, you choose the piece, but your opponent chooses the square it's placed on.

This would be a three step process:

1. On your turn, you choose a piece to drop.

2. Your opponent chooses any legal square on which to drop it (no illegal positions allowed; i.e. they can't check their own king, nor drop a pawn on the 1st or 8th rank).

3. You can optionally make a legal move with your dropped piece, or you can leave it be; this ends your turn either way.

This could add strategic depth amd a little more risk to the reinforcement tactic. The opponent will naturally want to place your piece on a square that gives them the best advantage, the most probable location being a square where they can capture your piece with no harm to their position. That's where the optional move comes in. It can act as more of a deterrent than a remedy. Therefore the opponent may think it best to drop your piece in a mutually 'safe' square.

This variation would cut down on the wild tactic of dropping a new pawn one square ahead of promotion.

Overall I think this rule change would make a Bughouse game more 'tricksy' and less about recycling pieces to bring about a quick mating attack from out of nowhere.

I got it from here https://recessiondodgetovictory.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/ascii-chessboard/ and I reset the board. When you copy paste it to add your turn the formatting looks like its going to fuck up but it actually turns out well.

This would look much better if you were not required to post an image, which is a stupid feature to have on a dedicated chess board.

Check my 33 and enjoy.
