In this Go-inspired chess variant, players place any one of their pieces on any empty space on the board. However, the opponent's king cannot be put into check or checkmate, and pawns cannot be placed on the opponent's back 4 rows. When all pieces have been placed, begin moving as in normal chess. At this point all regular chess rules apply. Capture your opponent's king to win.
