Presentated by its originator, John Leslie on Wednesday, March 10 at 11:30 in ECS 642. Bring chess sets so we can all try it.

Math and CS Problem Solving Seminar
“Probably the most remarkable chess variant of the last fifty years. Captured men are hostages that can be exchanged. Play is rarely less than exciting, sometimes with several reversals of fortune. Dramatic mates are the rule, not the exception. ”
— D.B.Pritchard, author of "The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants” and retired International Master.
Hostage chess has a much larger decision tree than regular chess and it offers some open problems that we can expect to hear about on Wednesday.
