first installment of chess variants

avalanche chess
pieces are set up and moved as normal. after each move, a player then moves an opposing pawn. for example, white moves a knight to e5, then moves a black pawn to b3.

• an opposing pawn move *must* be made unless no moves are possible.
  
• the pawn move must be the second move, unless...
  
• a checking move must be the last move. for example, if the queen delivers check in the first move of the sequence, no pawn move is made.
  
• pawn promotion as normal
  
• no move may put the king in jeopardy, even if the following pawn move would negate the check.
  

alice chess
this variant is extra challenging! two chess boards are used, but only one set of pieces. set up the pieces as normal on one board. the second board is empty at the start of the game. play proceeds as normal, excpet that as a move is made on the first board, the piece is transferred to the same square on the second board. during each turn, pieces on either board may be moved. a piece moved on the second board transfers that move to the same square on the first board. each move made transfers a piece from one board to the other.

• a move must be possible on both boards. a piece cannot move to an occupied square on either board.
  
• a king cannot be transferred into jeopardy.
