I vote for a new thread for the game. Is progressive where one side gets 1 move, then the other 2 moves, then first 3 moves, etc, etc?

I tried tempest chess and it was pretty fun. I got crushed every game unfortunately.

I play bughouse + crazyhouse + atomic on ICC, they are pretty fun games to play at 1 0.

Personally I think Bughouse is detrimental to your game, especially for young-and-or-developing players.

I know it fosters creativity and tactics but It's building the wrong patterns imo and that outweighs the positives.
