Chess Match: Shady Bill vs. Skybird

Is there anyone who would play a game of Alice chess?

I have had a terrible time finding people to play this with. People who are good at chess, often find it disorienting and frustrating. But it is SO fun!!

It requires you to have two chess boards set up.

The main rule is;

At the beginning of the game, pieces start in their normal positions on board A, while board B starts empty. At each turn, a player can choose whether to move on board A or B. Pieces move the same as they do in standard chess, but, at the completion of its move, a piece goes "through the looking-glass", transferring to the corresponding square on the opposite board. This simple change has dramatic impact on game play.

Be neat to have a thread for Alice chess variant. Maybe after this match I can convince Skybird to get out his 2nd board haha
