Minichess information

Minichess is a family of chess variants played with regular chess pieces and standard rules, but on a smaller board.^[1] The motivation for these variants is to make the game simpler and shorter than standard chess. The first chess-like game implemented on a computer was the 6×6 chess variant Los Alamos chess. The low memory capacity of early computers meant that a reduced board size and a smaller number of pieces were required for the game to be implementable on a computer.
