Antichess
Lose all your pieces to win
Captures are mandatory and the goal is to have nothing left. Everything you know about protecting material works against you.
How it plays
- 1
If a capture is available, you must take it.
- 2
You win by losing every piece, or by having no legal move.
- 3
The king is an ordinary piece: no check, no checkmate.
- 4
Pawns may promote to a king.
What the lights do
Forced captures glow red, and when only one capture exists the rest of the board goes dark.
What you need

The rules and the install path are designed and wired up, but the sketch hasn’t been written yet. Everything on this page is real except the binaries themselves.
