Double chess

Double chess board and initial setup. Pawns advance up to four squares on their first move.

Double chess is a chess variant invented by Julian S. Grant Hayward in 1916.[1][2] The game is played on a 16×12 chessboard with each player in control of two complete armies placed side by side.

The rules were published in the January 1929 issue of British Chess Magazine.

Game rules

The illustration shows the starting setup. A player wins by checkmating either enemy king. Additional rules:

  • Pawns have an initial up-to-four step option. En passant captures are permitted.
  • A king may castle only on its own half of the board.

As in standard chess, pawns promote upon reaching the furthest rank.

Capablanca vs. Maróczy match

This section uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.

J. R. Capablanca, who had experimented with different forms of chess in the 1920s, found the game "remarkably interesting",[3] and a four-game match was held with Géza Maróczy on 22nd to 26th April 1929 at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, London. Capablanca won the match (+2−0=2).[4]

Position after 58.Nxg1

The only known game score from the match is of the first game, having a time control requiring 30 moves per 90 minutes by each player:[a]
