Where blundering is a strategy!
Blunderchess follows the rules of normal chess, with one twist: at certain points, you get to play for your opponent and try to make them blunder.
Player 1 is trying to win as White, and Player 2 is trying to win as Black. The turn order is five normal moves followed by two blunder-for-opponent moves:
- Player 1 plays for White
- Player 2 plays for Black
- Player 1 plays for White
- Player 2 plays for Black
- Player 1 plays for White
- Player 1 plays for Black (attempting to make Black blunder)
- Player 2 plays for White (attempting to make White blunder)
- Player 2 plays for Black
- Player 1 plays for White
- Player 2 plays for Black
- Player 1 plays for White
- Player 2 plays for Black
- Player 2 plays for White (attempting to make White blunder)
- Player 1 plays for Black (attempting to make Black blunder)
This cycle continues throughout the game, forcing players to balance good moves with sabotage when given control of their opponent’s pieces.
