ChessStrategyChess variantOver the board
Hi, I'm KG and today I am here with a new variant, called: 3x3 Corner Pawns.

Hello. Today I will show you a new variant: 3x3 Corner Pawns. So how does it work? Let's find out!! 🤔

1. 📐The Setup📐

https://lichess.org/study/jJvedtSB/02MY7gj8

Now look. You see the square? 3x3 Squares. OK, this is where we will put!
But... What pieces will you put?
6 red pawns
6 green pawns
6 yellow pawns
6 blue pawns
Or anything like that, just need 4 different colours... 🟥🟩🟨🟦

2. 🟩How we will put🟩

Just put 6 pawns on anywhere you want in the allowed squares! But this is illegal:

You see, the red setup is illegal, but the blue setup is correct...
Just put anywhere you want except the one I said... Be creative!! 💡💡💡

3. ♟How we will move♟

At 1️⃣2️⃣7️⃣8️⃣rank we can move as normal pawns!
But 3️⃣6️⃣rank we must move 1 square ONLY!! 🚫
(No pieces is on 4th and 5th rank...setup, 3x3, you know... 🧠🎯💡)

4. 👑Winning rules👑

OK guys, see this and you will see! 😊
