Inverse Chess is a game of chess played backwards in time. Starting from a pre-defined position (simplest being two kings), players make moves inverse of chess and the player who sets up all his pieces in their normal chess positions wins the game. In inverse chess we spawn pieces as opposed to killing in chess, pawns move backwards and so on. The challenge in Inverse chess lies in the fact that there may result positions that were not possible in chess. This is a novel combinatorial game, and is being patented under PCT worldwide.
