Bughouse Chess

Bughouse Chess is a fast-paced, team-based variation of standard chess played with two teams of two players each. Each player plays on their own board against an opponent, and when a player captures an opponent’s piece, they immediately give it to their teammate, who can then place it onto their own board as a new move. This dynamic exchange creates a game full of rapid tactics, requiring coordination and quick thinking. The game ends when one team checkmates an opponent or when time runs out. It emphasizes teamwork, speed, and strategic use of captured pieces.
