In summary, PF chess is a variant of traditional chess that allows players to make two moves in a row, known as "forwarding moves". It was never widely popular and eventually disappeared due to lack of support. However, it is still possible to play PF chess online. The reception among chess players was mixed, with some enjoying the added complexity and strategy while others did not consider it a true form of the game. Other variants of chess involving forwarding moves exist, but they have different rules and gameplay compared to PF chess.
