Chess 112 is chess variant played on an 8 by 14 square board. Each player has 4 bishops, 4 knights, 4 rooks, and 14 pawns.

At this point (May 2009) castling and en passant capturing have yet to be implemented, and pawn promotion is restricted to queens.

The game features moving by piece and square clicking (no need to manually enter "from column", "from row", "to column", and "to row" coordinates).

A player can practice (be both white and black) or play against a challenger (in real time or via email) anywhere in the world.
