I imagine that in this variant, if a king can choose between check-evading moves and some are captures, you are obligated to choose the capture, right? Double sharp ( talk) 12:51, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
‘Les Echecs Battu-Battant’ is basically Losing Chess as described below and again capturing is normally compulsory, but in two versions the king retains royal powers and escaping check has priority over a capture. The aim is either (1) to give checkmate or to be left with bare king, or (2) the same but the checkmated player wins.. These are, in effect, variants 3 and 4 discussed in the article as it currently stands. I think we should rewrite the article to reflect how it is discussed in the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Chess Variants (and mention Les Echecs Battu-Battant). -- LukeSurl t c 14:46, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
