L – Open Championship of the Czech Republic of bughouse
14.7. 2008
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.
