Dragonfly (chess variant)
text:
Dragonfly is a chess variant invented by Christian Freeling in 1983. There are no queens, and a captured bishop, knight, or rook becomes the property of the capturer, who may play it as their own on a turn to any open square. The board is 7×7 squares, or alternatively a 61-cell hexagon with two additional pawns per side. The game is an offshoot and simplification of a Freeling game named Loonybird. Still, "Play is complex and interesting. Draws are rare too."
