Do you know any ressource of chess tactic problems for minichess (5x6 chess board) ?

This is a very specific and oddball question, but I thought of a new (joke) chess variant that would involve playing two 5x5 boards (one as Black, one as White) and being able to airdrop captured pieces from the other board.

I thought it would be an interesting variant and could be rather frantic too with a time control. The goal here is to have an "easier" (more casual) but still very tactical chess. The question is: what's the best Minichess variant (Wikipedia link here that will lend itself to good Bughouse play?

Is it even possible for small boards to support Bughouse? I hope it is, but it seems like it would be quite easy to checkmate someone by placing a piece down due to the extreme small size of the board.

I'd also welcome general comments on what the 'best' minichess format is in general—ideally a board that lends itself to interesting play.

Description

The objective is to count the number of legal positions on a 3x3 chess board.

Input

There is no input.

Output

Print the number of ways of placing chess pieces on a 3x3 board such that:

1. Both kings must be on the board (and there can only be one of each color)
2. Not both kings can be in check.
3. Pawns may only occupy the first two ranks of their respective sides.

Besides the restriction on the kings, there may be any number of the other pieces on the board, e.g. more than two black Rooks, etc.

Bonus

Extend your solution to accommodate larger boards. Can your program handle 3x4, 4x3 or 4x4 boards?

Notes / Hints

There is a Wikipedia article on minichess variants and it gives an answer for the number of "legal" positions on a 3x3 board, although it is not clear if they are using the same criteria.

Update: I've pretty much verified that the criteria for the Wikipedia article is not the same.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

When I got home, they were still there.

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

You take away their little brooms

It was about a weak back.

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?
