orthochess

/ˌɔːθəˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔːθəʊ̯ˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔɹθəˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔɹθoʊ̯ˈt͡ʃɛs/

From ortho- + chess, probably as a clipping of orthodox chess.

Problems of this sort have been exhaustively dealt with for orthochess (see A Guide to Fairy Chess, p. 39, for tables of results); Haas here presents 59 positions showing his best results for all possible moves, type A.

1974, Phillip Cohen, “Chessworld: Magazine Review”, in The Gamesletter, volume 13, number 1/2, Don Miller, page 10:

Avalanche chess is the same as orthochess, except that every move consists of two parts: (1) a normal legal chess move; and (2) pushing an opponent's pawn one square straight toward you. That's all there is to it really.

1992 June 10, Les Roselle, “What is a Nost?”, in Chess Life, volume 47, number 6, US Chess Federation, →ISBN:

In consequence, Italian domination of Progressive Chess was for many years comparable to that of Soviet domination of orthochess in times past.

(chess variants) The conventional game and rules of chess.

af

Droga do wygrania partii prowadzi najczęściej poprzez zdobycie przewagi materialnej. Jest to prawda powszechnie znana i szybko przyswajana, stąd też w pojedynkach młodych szachistów obserwuje się pogoń za uzyskaniem konkretnej przewagi wyrażającej się większej ilości zbitych bierek. Niestety niejednokrotnie następuje to już od pierwszych posunięć i ma charakter pionkożerstwa. Często to przynosi opłakane rezultaty

2011 January 6, Andrzej Osiński, “„Pionkożerstwo" w debiucie”, in kspiatka.pl, archived from the original on 2023-12-08:

The way to win a game is most often through gaining a material advantage. This is a truth that is widely known and quickly assimilated, hence in duels between young chess players one observes the pursuit of gaining a tangible advantage expressed in terms of a greater number of pieces of pieces that have been beaten. Unfortunately, this often occurs from the very first moves and has the character of pawn grabbing. This often brings lamentable results.
