What is ChessWithPass?
Now each player
has the right to skip one move per chess game at will.
Boom!
A revolutionary twist
to the world's oldest game,
a quantum leap from
the board ... to life.
Why ChessWithPass is better?
What is the Pass Piece?
The Pass Piece is a new,
official chess figure that represents your right to skip one move per game.
Each player has their
own Pass Piece — white and black.
It is placed next to the board
at the start of the game.
When a player decides to use their pass, they move their Pass Piece
onto the board.
That turn is skipped — once per game. No exceptions.
Pass Piece - visual representation of your right to skip 1 move per game at will - a moment of calm in the storm of calculation.
Pass Notation in ChessWithPass
In ChessWithPass, each player has the right to pass one turn per game — a powerful and philosophical choice.
To record this special move, you can use one of the following notations:
✅ Notation options:
-
-- (minimalist and clean)
-
pass (explicit and clear)
-
Both are accepted and mean:
“the player chose not to move on this turn.”
📘 Example:
11. Bc4 Bc5
12. -- Nf6
13. d3 O-O
Or: 11. Bc4 Bc5
12. pass Nf6
13. d3 O-O
In both cases, White skipped move 12.
