Variants: Anti/Giveaway (x1.5)
This is a user-catalogued casual variant. Technical details such as board size, FEN, pieces, and hand rules are defined in the Fairy-Stockfish variants.ini block below.
Generated rule overview
This variant inherits its base rules from `giveaway` and overrides the settings shown below.
Board and setup
Pieces and movement
- The piece set used on the board is: king (k), queen (q), rook (r), bishop (b), knight (n) and pawn (p).
Move rules
- Captures are mandatory when available, except that legal check evasion still has priority.
Winning and losing
- An extinction rule is active: reaching 0 remaining piece(s) configured pieces causes a loss for the side to move.
- Stalemate is scored as a win for the side to move.
Piece movement
These diagrams show custom pieces and known Fairy-Stockfish built-in fairy pieces from White's perspective on a compact preview board. Some special moves, especially hoppers and game-state-dependent moves, can still depend on blockers or game state.
