Ever play a game of chess and say "I wish I hadn't made that move"? This chess variant allows you that possibility.

From the introduction, by G K Gifford: "...A standard 8 x 8 chessboard and 32 piece set are used. But you may need two extra Kings for each side (or markers to represent them). To play face-to-face, i.e., over-the-board, you will need 5 score sheets for each player. Some of the sheets may go unused.
