Anti-Chess - it is fun, try it out

I played this game while in college. It is quite interesting. Try it out.

1. It is in the first place Chess. Played between two players on the same chess-board with the same 16 pieces each.
2. The objective of ANTI-CHESS is not to check-mate the opponent's king. But to get all the pieces "killed". That means, the person who gets all his pieces killed - wins.
3. It has one simple rule, if any of the opponent's pieces can be killed by your pieces, you must kill.
4. One has to try to feed his pieces to the opponent to get them killed.
5. In case, one has several pieces to be killed, he can chose whichever he likes.
6. The rules are otherwise same. For instance, if the pawn reaches the opponent's first row, one gets a queen, or whatever the piece should be.
7. Pieces like rook or bishop or even queen can actually devastate the opponent (and you - as the one who finishes first wins)!
8. It starts like normal chess, the pawn can go two squares.
9. It does not matter if the king is killed earlier!!

Its quick, fun and remember, it also requires quite a bit of thinking.
