Play a game of chess against your opponent using only half the pieces (remove one side's pieces as agreed before the match). Each player has 3 minutes on the clock. Move fast — if your clock runs out, you lose.

Half pieces only — remove one colour's pieces symmetrically as agreed before the match. Each player has 3 minutes. Standard chess rules apply. Losing on time counts as a loss. Checkmate or resignation also ends the game. Trial format — time control and piece count subject to change after trialling. Record as win, draw, or loss.
