This variant has been created in 1994 by Gianluca Vecchi, member of AISE . It is a little variation on the theme of Rifle Chess .
Shooting is optional.
Shooting at the king is forbidden. Moving into self-check, as well as leaving the king in check, is forbidden even if a following shoot removes the check. A check must always be parried with the orthodox part of the move. If a pawn promotes capturing, it shoots with the power of the piece to which it is promoted. All the other rules of chess apply.
