L – Open Championship of the Czech Republic of bughouse
15th July 2013
Right of participation: pairs of players without age and performance limitations
Playing rules: Two pairs play against each other on two chess boards with 2 chess clocks. 2 team mates always sit beside each other and play with contrary colours. When one of them picks up a stone, he will give it to his partner. If the player is on move, he can either move a stone on the chess board or put the stone from the hand to a free square. Team loses if it is in checkmate or exceeds time. The game is draw as long as it finishes as draw on one of the chess boards. The game is not „touch-move“ but „clock move“, that is, the move is not considered to be made until the player hits his clock. The pawn is on last rank promoted to Queen or Knight, but its only temporary until is removed from board. A player may not hide captured pieces from your opponent. Full communication between partners is allowed. More detailed rules can be found here
