ChessWithPass.: How the Blue Monkey Became a Genius. The Missing Move.

Sometimes the strongest move

is not to move.

In ChessWithPass,

each player has the right, once per game,

to skip a turn

using the Pass Piece.

A new element

never before seen in the history of chess.

You don't make a move -

you hand the position to your opponent.

And in that moment,

the game breaks.

Familiar continuations disappear.

that not every move is necessary.

And that sometimes,

a move is the mistake.

ChessWithPass does not simplify chess.
