Displacement chess is a family ofchess variants in which a few pieces are transposed in the initial standardchess position. The main goal of these variants is to negate players' knowledge of standardchess openings.^[1]

Variations

[edit]

The following variations were tried in master orgrandmaster tournaments:^[2]

InIl Gioco degli scacchi,Pietro Carrera gives sample play at a handicap where the stronger player’s king and rook are transposed. He calls this handicap odds of the castled king based on a contemporary rule of free castling. Moreover, he considers it worth slightly less than two pawns when the king and king’s rook are transposed and worth slightly less than the knight when the king and queen’s rook are transposed.
White's king and queen are transposed. This arrangement was tried in a correspondence tournament in 1935 with the participation of grandmasterPaul Keres. This creates a reverse symmetrical starting position likeChaturanga is played from. In Chaturanga, this is done so the players’ starting generals, having only diagonals, will be able to attack each other.
Thequeen's knight is transposed with theking's bishop, so that both bishops are on thequeenside and both knights are on thekingside, as shown in the diagram. This variant is sometimes calledMongredien chess, afterAugustus Mongredien, the sponsor of a tournament held in London during 1868 under the auspices of theBritish Chess Association, in which several strong British players took part, includingJoseph Henry Blackburne.^[3] According toDavid Pritchard, this is one of the most popular forms of displacement chess.
The knights and bishops are transposed. There is a record of a game under these rules betweenJoseph Henry Blackburne andWilliam Norwood Potter in 1875.^[4]
The rooks and bishops are transposed. This array was suggested byJ. R. Capablanca after his match withEmanuel Lasker, but did not become popular. This variant is also calledFianchetto chess.^[5]
