 Threefold repetition is a rule allowing a player to claim a draw if the same position (piece positions, player's turn, castling rights, en passant state) occurs three times (not necessarily consecutively). The 50 move rule allows a player to claim a draw if no pawn has moved and no piece has been captured in last 50 moves (both players making their move counts as a single move here).
 
+## LRS Chess
+
+Chess is only mildly [bloated](bloat.md) but what if we try to unbloat it completely? Here we propose the LRS version of chess. The rule changes against normal chess are:
+
+- No castling.
+- No en passant.
+- Promotion is always to queen.
+- No checks or checkmates, king is just another piece.
+- Whoever takes the opponent's king first wins.
+- Only a single draw rule: if game doesn't end in 1024 half moves or fewer, it is a draw. I.e. there are no weird draw rules (50 move, repetition, ...). Of course players may still agree on draw anytime.
+- Random: optionally random variant of LRS chess can be played. Here we randomly shuffle the white player's back row pieces in the starting position and mirror it for black (no weird conditions on piece positions like in chess 960).
