Bughouse | Oklahoma City Chess

BUGHOUSE WARS III

Bughouse is an exciting version of chess where two-player teams work together to defeat their opponents—just like the rebels vs. the Empire. Well, not exactly like that. It's more like chess, but with the sort of raucousness and levity TDs typically discourage. As you can see in these videos, everybody loves bughouse, from kids in school chess clubs to the world's top GMs!
