The purpose of this site is to promote the play of the 'Modern' Chess Variants.
The 'Modern' Chess Variants
are inspired by the game of
Modern Chess, created by Gabriel Vicente Maura, from Puerto Rico in 1968, which is the first variant of this group.
What
does 'Modern' mean in the Modern Chess Variants context?
Modern Chess Variants are those variants that meet these four
'Modern' principles:
- Reverse Symmetry
- Symmetrical Castling to both flanks of the board
- Have the option of playing
with Bishops in the same color
- The Bishop Adjustment Rule
