Looks like some people have taken the idea further. I particularly like “misanthrope chess” and “single player chess”.
By the way, if anyone can speak russian and could kindly ask them to link to this page rather than direct to the image on that site that’d be awesome.
EXTRA: Seeming as people seemed to like this, I had a go at more of the same
How about Zombie Chess? Everyone runs for the castles.

I guess in Democrat chess, the king and queen would be HUGE, the bishops would be unable to move, and the pawns would get more ways to move? *shrug*
Loved it!
Anarchy Chess, pieces all over the board, outside the squares. Existentialism Chess just one pawn. Theocracy Chess Bishops and pawns. Martial Law Chess rooks and a king. Jonestown Chess all the pieces toppled (or removed).
Thanks that was fun exercise.
Radical feminist chess and homosexual chess..all queens…oops, am I allowed to say that?
Awesome! I love your comics! ^^
They’re talking about Republic as in the government type, not the conservative party. You know as opposed to a Monarchy? Jesus, I just killed the joke, buried it and stomped on it’s grave
Peter..we did get it..we’re not all americans here..in fact, amreica only takes up a fraction of the globe..rly!
I was talking to Drake
i liked the last one with the pawns only. that was pretty cool. the others were a thumbs doe
Utopian chess: everyone is King.
Absolute Dictatorship chess: King and pawns only.
Descartes-chess: The pieces are there, but the board isn’t
Cold War chess: The whites have only bishops on the white squares, the blacks only on the black squares. Noone can actually touch eachother.
Feudal Chess: A king, and the rest is knights.
By the way: There can’t be any winners in Republican and Marxist Chess, while in desegregated chess, the whites starts out winning.
I really have to stop looking for metaphors. They don’t make any sense…
Should have just made desegregated chess the normal set up…
Drake - no, republican chess is referring to a republic government (ie, there are no monarchs), not the political party.
That’s great.
so, atheist chess is the only one that can still be played…
i think marxist could still be played kinda, like a last pawn standing match
Actually, Desegregated chess is awesome: http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Andy/Games/monochess.html
rotlf(yes im not laughing, the floor is. its actually quite annoying)
This is very clever, kudos
Vatican chess wou;d be all bishops I guess
Do the pawns still become queens when they reach the other side?
desegregated=integrated
I like this page a lot
This is so awesome everyone steals it
