Exchange / Bughouse / Tandem / Chess on ChessCube
Hello ChessCube world.
I would like to start a forum requesting Exchange chess on ChessCube to see how many others would like it.
For those who are unfamiliar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_Chess
In my chess world, this game is very popular. Its a game where you need a good team mate. Its good for laughs. You can get many awkward positions especially with pawn structure. Is a lot more social. And you need to forget everything you think you know about opening theory. Its like a 4 player expansion of 960 chess. It wont have any lasting improvement on your normal chess game or come with any teaching recommendations as its a distraction and distorts your pattern recognition, but you can have amazing fun.
It could be a bit tricky to implement, but if enough people request it, I'm sure the ChessCube developers could think of something.
Cheers
