What is Losers Chess?
- Rules are the same as in antichess, except:
- The king has royal powers, and removing the king from check takes precedence over capturing another piece.
- Casting is legal.
- Pawns cannot promote to king.
- A player wins by reducing his pieces to a bare king, or being checkmated by the opponent.
