Chess in pairs... with a fun twist

Bughouse Chess is a chess variant where two teams of two players face off against each other. Captured pieces on one board may be placed by their teammate, on their teammate's board, in place of a normal move.

"Partners are normally allowed to talk to each other during the game. They can for instance ask for a specific piece, for more trades, ask to hold a piece, suggest moves or ask their partner to stall. Shouts like "Knight mates!" or "Give me pieces!" are common, and can lead to seemingly absurd sacrificial captures on the other board."
