What is Bughouse?
Bughouse is a variation of chess played by a team of two players against an opposing team. While one teammate plays white on one board, the other plays black on a second board. Teammates are seated side by side, across from their respective opponents. The two games are played simultaneously. As one player captures an opponent’s pieces, they are put beside his teammate, who can place one on his board as a move, with certain limitations.
