Grab a Partner, It's Time for Bughouse

Anyone who has spent time at a chess tournament has likely seen groups of kids (and often adults) playing the wild form of chess known as bughouse. Played by teams of two on two separate boards, a typical bughouse game will see dozens of pieces passed back and forth between the players, stunning mating attacks, and at least one player who has control of four knights at once!

If you have no idea how to play bug, you're missing out: it's lots of fun, and can even help improve your creativity and tactical vision in regular chess. I've just added an article detailing the rules of this great game. Check it out, grab a partner, and find another team to play with. After a few games, you'll be hooked.
