Whenever you capture an opponent's piece you have to drink it. The most valuable pieces have greater capacity so the advantage of being ahead in the game is offset by increased inebriation and a rapid deterioration in performance!
What drinks are suitable? The options are almost limitless as long as both colours are easily distinguishable. Red wine against white wine ensures a relatively calm game. Orange juice and apple juice are more suitable for morning matches and any clash involving Absinthe should really be left to the Grandmasters.
RULES of Shot Glass Chess:
Select your favourite alcoholic beverage and pour it into your opponent's 16 glasses. The following quantities are our recommendations, discovered after extensive research and development:
Pawn: 0.5 parts
Bishop: 1 part
Knight: 1 part
Rook: 2 parts
Queen: 3 parts
King: 2 parts
Begin the game of chess as normal. Whenever a player makes a capture he must drink the contents of that piece.
Illegal moves are permissible as long as neither player notices.
The losing player must drink his own king as the final ignominy of defeat.
