01 · Goal
Take the enemy king, or leave them without champions.
02 · The board
Chess moves, including castling, en passant and promotion. There is no check: kings can be challenged.
03 · Captures are duels
Both players secretly pick Rock, Scissors or Paper, then fight. Win, and the capture happens; lose, and your piece is removed instead. Each side has four champions of each kind, and a champion that loses is gone.
