No return chess Invented by Pasi Ter sti. Invented by Jouni Tolonen. Reverse blindfolded xiangqi Invented by Jouni Rakennuskoski. Pieces are reversed in the beginning of a game so that they face downwards. Pieces which are taken during the game by either player are not revealed.
Play continues normally until one of the players claims that the opponent made an illegal move.
The pieces are reversed again. Good practice for 'normal' xiangqi. Handicap blindfolded xiangqi Invented by Ismo Kaarne. Stronger player's pieces are reversed in the beginning of a game so that they face downwards. Weaker player's pieces are placed on their side, facing the weaker player.
