This is another entry to Hans 38 birthday party.Comment: This has my vote for the most poetic title for a chess variant! :-) -D.H.
White
King a1 (2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 3 pawns
off the board)
Black
King f8 (2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 3 pawns
off the board)
Squares a1 and f8 are the weak squares! If a piece enters it, the
player that owns the square (a1 for white, f8 for black) loses the game!
If a king in the jumping process cannot jump to a free square, it cannot continue to put pieces, and must wait until the adversary ends its jumping phase. Bishops must be placed in different color squares.
