Extinction chess is a variant of western Chess where the objective of the game has changed. Instead of the winning condition of the game being the checkmate of the opponent's king, the object of the game is to capture all of a particular kind of piece the opponent has. In other words, the objective is to achieve any of the following: A chess variant is a game derived from, related to or similar to chess in at least one respect. ... For other uses, see Chess (disambiguation). ...
Capture the opponent's king
Capture the opponent's queen
Capture both of the opponent's knights
Capture both of the opponent's bishops
Capture both of the opponent's rooks
Capture all of the opponent's pawns. If your opponent promotes their last pawn, you will also win the game.
Since the king is not a special piece in this game, it is legal to castle when in check, or to castle through check. Promotion to king is also allowed.
This game was invented by R. Wayne Schmittberger.
