Massacre chess is a variation on the game of chess in which each player plays with 8 queens, 8 rooks, 8 bishops and 8 knights. All pieces are placed randomly on the board, filling up every space, and players take turns moving their pieces according to their standard chess movements. The twist is that each player must capture a piece every turn, and to fail to do so is to lose the game.
