BUGHOUSE RULES

 

Rules: 
All standard blitz chess rules apply with addition to the following-


1. Can place check or mate with any piece.
2. Can only place pawns on the 2nd-7th rank.
3. Clock move.  A move is not completed until you hit your clock.  This also means that you cannot give a captured piece to your partner until you hit your clock.
4. When a promoted pawn is captured, it becomes a pawn again when given to your partner.
5. You cannot hide your pieces!!  The first offense is a warning.  The second is an automatic forfeit.
6. Cell phones turned off.  If a phone rings while a game is in progress, the game will be forfeited by the offender on the first offense.
7. You can not drop capture.  You can only drop pieces on an unoccupied square.
8. You can communicate with only your partner during your game.
9. While you can tell your partner where to move, you cannot physically touch your partner's board or the pieces on it.
10. Have fun!!!!
