| 2 | | Captured pieces are stunned. They disappear if you capture them again. | |

| 5 | | This variant is inspired by the | |

| 7 | | universe. | |
| 8 | | When a piece captures another, it "bounce" on it until the next square in | |
| 9 | | the movement's direction. If this next square is occupied, then it keeps | |
| 10 | | bouncing and reach the following square, until either a free square or the | |
| 11 | | edge of the board is met. In this last case, the capturer is lost. | |

| 14 | Pieces bounced over are then "stunned" for two moves (four half-moves): | |
| 15 | they cannot move during this period. If they get captured again while being | |
| 16 | stunned, they are "kicked" out of the board, and all pieces standing on their | |
| 17 | way vanish as well. | |

| 27 | After the move 1.fxe5 on the diagram, the red pieces are stunned for two | |
| 28 | moves. So white can then play 2.Bxe5, kicking the pawn and capturing (for | |
| 29 | real) at least the h8 bishop. An option for black may be 1...Qg5, such | |
| 30 | that after 2.Bxe5 Qxe5 black threaten to kick the white stunned bishop out. | |

| 40 | The goal is to capture the enemy king. Moves which kick your own king | |
| 41 | out are forbidden, but stunning him is allowed. | |
