First here are the rules for penguin chess. Everything is the same as in normal chess, except:
- Any piece, except the kings, can move to any empty square.
- Pawns can't move to the 1st and 8th rank.
I have explored some, rather basic, endgames. Obviously, there are easy checkmates, like K+Q vs K, K+R vs K or K+B+b vs K. However even K+N+N vs K, which normally isn't winning. For example:
[FEN "6k1/3N4/3N2K1/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
is clearly winning. If it's White to move, white wins with: Nd6-e7+, Kh8, Nd7-f7#. Another interesting position, which I figured out is a draw, is K+R vs K+P. Here Black's main idea is to move the pawn to 2nd rank and the rook is unable to defend the first rank and simultaneously attack the Black king.
I'm asking if there has been any kind of development in penguin chess. If there exist forums, I would appreciate them as well.
