[i changed the title but i'm too lazy to make a new banner...]In Chess Without Turns, standard chess rules apply, with some exceptions:
1. There are no turns, the faster the better.
2. It's communist - you need to kill everyone, not just the king
3. Some junk-rules are removed (castling, checks, mates, en passant, a.s.o.)
I guess that's all there is!

That was... interesting. It seemed to devolve into bumrushing the enemy lines with a pawn and turning it into a queen and then eating their side from the inside, though.

Wait, so THAT's what you did? I was wondering where she came from. |

Just had 3 matches against some guy! Just won once!  It's awesome though and I had lots of fun with it!  It's short of course but very engaging! I must concur with Ryavis! Rushing with the pawn is very effective, but I think that different strategies can be found! Good job, Sos!  |

I love this, it's alot of fun. The Queen is a bit overpowered though... Played a great game where all the power pieces got taken and only pawns and a king were left, that was a tense 10 seconds. |

Just from playing a few games of this, the Queen is like a friggin' a-bomb. You can singlehandedly destroy the entire enemy team from the sides with just a Queen.

Although queen and rook are the best, I love using the knight. It's especially fun when you get down to a knight vs knight battle, as they are actually kind of strategic.

I may come up with some more crazy modes soon Like a game with only one piece type all over the board or.... or.... I can't actually think of anything else now  |

I don't want cooldowns, Kung-Fu Chess had that, and it sucks badly.

I was gonna say "put in some randomly spawning powerups then", but I realized that would move it away from actual chess more  |

Played a game and won with a knight left. I don't know if I'd play this game a lot more, though. But crazy idea, I'll give you that. |

I think the instant move resolution is detrimental. I'd rather see some time take place between when you start a move and when it resolves (piece slides over the board instead of teleporting to position). It's not an RTS, it's more like an I(nstant)TS.
It's pretty hilarious though!

I wanted to play this, but I live in Taiwan (GMT +8), which means I was the only one trying to play.
