Some of us dont desire to be challenged by their game, but entertained. :P

This may come as a surprise to you, but that is exactly what is happening. laugh

I love to play Chess, i play them horribly, but i love it anyway ... so i played them a lot ...
And often, before the game starts i and my oponent have to agree on some rules. smile

The most requested is for example "no time" ... or prohibits taking "in passing" ... few times i encountered people who demanded to not use "castling" ... etc.
The point should be clear by now ...
Even if people would demand that every Pawn will move as a Queen ... as long as they both are fine with such game, there is no reason to not let them ...
And we are here talking about single player ... so all persons who have to agree is themselves. :P

Easily ... you pick what seems to suit you best, and if it doesnt, you adjust it. laugh
