New Game: Sniper Chess

[donkirkby]

Each player places a coin on their right side of the chess board, aligned with the rank farthest from them.

Captures that move a distance of 1 or a knight's move are completely normal, but ranged captures either reduce your range or increase your opponent's range by one less than the range you used..

For example, if a bishop captures A2xD5, that's a range of 3. The player can then choose whether to reduce their own range by 2 or increase their opponent's range by 2. Can't adjust below 1 or above 8, and must make the largest adjustment possible. Cannot put yourself in check by increasing the opponent's range.
