Antichess, also called losing chess, loser's chess, zero chess, giveaway chess, or suicide chess, is a chess variant in which the objective of the participants is to get all of their pieces captured. The most widely played variation, as described in the book Popular Chess Variants by D.B. Pritchard, is described below.

The rules of the game are the same as those of chess except for the following additional rules:

• Capturing is compulsory;
• When more than one capture is available, the player may exercise choice;
• The king has no special prerogative and accordingly:
  • It may be captured like any other piece;
  • There is no check or checkmate;
  • Castling is not allowed;
  • Pawns may also promote to King;
• In the case of stalemate, the winner is the player with fewer pieces. If the number is equal, the game is drawn.
