The problem is that unless there are rules in place to prevent it, both kings are immediately in simultaneous check by the other side's queen, bishop and knight!
There are rules. Unfortunately, after almost fifty years, I don’t remember them.
And the cloud of inebriation floated heavily over the chessboard whenever I played- so there’s that.
But through the haze of remembrance, I don’t recall that being a problem, so yes, there were a few rules.
Looking back, my memory of the game is similar to the feeling I had when I first read Hesse’s “Magister Ludi”, also titled “The Glass Bead Game”. ….. a wonderfully intricate game as described in his book, but lacking the detail that would enable someone to actually play it.
