Fluidity Chess. No displacement capture, all non-royal pieces take by cutting through or bypassing. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This game makes little sense to me.  You can capture a king by going through him, but this is not check?  And you can check a king with a piece that CANNOT capture him?

And if you can only capture by going through, the pieces on the back rank cannot be captured at all unless one of them moves.  A piece in the corner can not be captured except by a knight and only if one of the other pieces by him has already moved.

Finally, I will say this idea is not new and has been done better.  For example, see Jumping Chess.

You have many games waiting to be published, but the writing is very bad, so they would require a lot of editing.  And I am doubtful that the ideas are worth publishing anyway.
