The chess variant "Don Quixote" belongs to the class of fairy chess, where players are forced move to an abstract position like a train rides through dark tunnel to another reality on other side of mounts.

It is interesting that this chess variant is the correct chess opening. And grandmasters, as gentelmen and sportsmen, can try it at a prestigious tournament such as the Capablanca Memorial.
