Bughouse

Bughouse (or siamese chess) is a variant of chess played between two teams of two players, on two separate boards. The pieces you capture are transferred to your partner, who is playing with the opposite color pieces from yourself. A piece may be dropped on an empty square as a move.

STARTING A BUGHOUSE MATCH

• Make sure you have Bughouse Mode enabled by going to the Settings menu and checkmarking Bughouse mode in the Playing tab:
  
• Find a partner by using the bugwho command to list users who are open for partnering, and the partner command to offer partnerships.
• Find an opponent team, also listed with the bugwho command. You may also use the Bughouse channel, channel 24, to get opponents.
• Then, have one of your team challenge the desired opponent on the other team to a bughouse match.
• When the match is accepted and all four players are present, then both games are started. Two Game Windows are displayed for each player.

Between the two game boards is a one-click messaging system for you and your partner to communicate:
