We both start with one hundred chips. Before each move, we write down our bids, and the player who bids more gives that many chips to the other player and makes a move on the chessboard. For example, if I bid nineteen for the first move and you bid twenty-four, then you give me twenty-four chips and make a move on the chessboard. Now I have 124 chips and you have 76 and we bid for the second move. By the way, you bid way too much and now you’re toast!
You win by capturing your opponent’s king. Or, rather, I win by capturing your king. None of this woo-woo checkmate stuff. I don’t care if you have me in checkmate when I have enough chips to make seven moves in a row.
"Bidding chess. Awesome!
