Dodl Schach

Board (6x4)
Players should agree whether they play with rows of size 6 and columns of size 4, or with rows of size 4 and columns of size 6.

Rules
Players each have the following pieces: one king, one queen, and two pawns. They may setup their pieces as they want on the first rank of their side of the board.

It's probably better if players alternately setup one of their pieces, with the kings deployed last. Using a screen in the middle of the board behind which the pieces can be set up secretly may also be an idea, but poses both practical difficulties.

King and Queen move as in orthodox chess.

Pawns have the usual moves of chess, but may also move diagonally.
