No google hits except one wikipedia mirror. Probably a hoax, although not a "blatant" hoax as for all I know it appears in a book about chess variations. As it stands though, (if not a hoax) it's unverifiable and as far as I can tell, unnotable. Beloved Freak  20:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MADEUP. COI author, no sources, and doesn't make much sense chess-wise, either: it is not clear in which direction the pawns move (e.g the black ones: to the right? Then Black is a rook down after 1.b3 and 2.Bxb4), "White" (i.e. the party with Ke1) has an enormous advantage over both other parties, and the checkmate rules are inconsistent.--Pgallert (talk) 10:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable at best, very likely something that was just made up. Edward321 (talk)
 * Thanks for the comments. I wrote to User:Belovedfreak that this is not a hoax (I created the game). I can attest that it is a legitimate chess variant, though admittedly unknown and with some flaws.--Pip72 (talk) 19:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per Pgallert and Edward. Also, the user above admits to creating the game so it also has a conflict of interest. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  20:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
