Anarchy Chess is a chess variant that was spontaneously created in 2013.[1] Unlike the original chess, the only rule in Anarchy Chess is that there are no rules.[2]

History edit

Term "Anarchy Chess" emerged from a insult "anarchist", which was commonly used towards cheating bad players both online and onboard chess. Later in the year 2013 degrading used by a Reddit user who was wrongly accused of cheating and called an "anarchist" after preforming a special move "En passant" in the game, who being infuriated, decided to create a subreddit "AnarchyChess"[3] as a result.

Rules edit

Even though there are no official rules,[1] the rules are usually determinated and agreed upon by the players before the game starts.
