Unlike Two Kings Chess, the queens are kept on board, so it does not feel like an end game right away. The bishop pair is purposefully preserved as well. The kings are sitting at separate places so hopefully there will be a fight on all sides of the board. See the board below for the starting position:
The rules are the same with the usual FIDE chess rules, except the following:
- The goal is checkmating at least one of the kings. If one or more kings are threatened (under check), the defending side must make a move to remove the threat from all his kings. If the defending side cannot do that , the game ends, the defending side loses (checkmate). A king cannot move into a square which is under threat by the opponent.
- There is no castling.
Also note that, similar to regular chess, stalemate happens when one side does not have a legal move to make. Then, the game is a draw.
