The Suicide Rules
Suicide Chess is very different from Wild Chess versions. In
both Regular and Wild Chess, the major purpose of the game is to checkmate your opponent's
king. But in Suicide Chess, the major purpose is to lose all of your pieces ... even your
king! Both Regular and Wild Chess follow roughly the same rules, but Suicide Chess has many
different rules: 1) Castling is not permitted. 2) If you can capture an opponent's
piece, you must do so. If more than one capture is possible, you can choose which one to make.
3) Treat the king as if it were just a regular piece. There is no check or
checkmate. The king can be captured. And you can promote a pawn to a king.

The World Championship Losing Chess
 |
The first unofficial Losing Chess World Championship was held at July 26-29 2001 in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
The tourney was played in a 7 round Swiss System. Remmel and Liardet were tied so the winner had to be decided in a tie-break,
because of his Bucholz a 1-1 was enought for Remmel to win. He won the first game and therefor only one game was played.

Extra Info
Suicide Chess can have different names and different rules depending on where
you play it. Suicide Chess is also known as Giveaway Chess (at ICC),
Losing Chess and Antichess.
In case of stalemate there are different rules. 1) It is a win for the player who is stalemated
(international rules and ICC rules). 2)
It is a draw (AISE rules). 3) It is won for the player with
fewer pieces left on the board (FICS rules).
Another difference is that at
ICC it is allowed to
castle. They are the only ones who allow this.
