Inoffensive Chess, also known as Humane Chess and Friendship Chess is a chess variant designed by Trotto Frekkensnork.

The rules of the game are identical to the original chess, but the King pieces are removed, so that no matter how the game plays out, neither of the players is able to do a checkmate and it will always be a draw, hence “friendship”.

"People get offended when they loose in chess. They might feel that getting checkmated says something negative about their character. I wanted to create a game when you will leave the game feeling all nice and fluffy."
