Abstract

Reach Chess is a chess variant discovered by accident while testing the Ludii general game system, in which a simple rule change fundamentally subverts the nature of the standard game. This paper describes Reach Chess, how it came to exist, and reveals its character through a brief analysis and puzzle with annotated solution.
